    Default Boat-free fishing: Pics of your bankfishing gear in action!


    I thought it would be neat to see pics of other member's bank fishing gear in action. Stuff like rod holders, camp chairs, coolers, etc. Whatever you have on the bank for a day of boat-free crappie fishing. I am putting together a grab-n-go storage container that would have everything needed to spend a day or evening on the lake (or creek or pond). Just need to add bait, food and beverages. So I need some ideas and pics if you have them!

    I think this was done one time in the past and ship had a good set up. I personally take just a bag of my baits and a few rods. If the fish are there I catch a lot pretty quick and leave or if they are not there I do not stick around.

    Captn, I was thinking the exact same thing earlier today. I'm just getting back into fishing, and looks like I'll be waiting till next year to get a boat. So I was also curious about seeing others gear for bank fishing. If you're no further than 50 feet from your car, no big deal. But what do you take with you if you're gonna walk a couple hundred yards to your fishing spot? I'm thinking 5-gal bucket with bag of ice inside...maybe padded top to sit on. Another small cooler with ice and beverages/snacks? Stringer for caught fish? Or, throw them on the ice in your bucket/stool? Small tackle box. Has anybody ever used a setup like I see often on the coast for pier day/night fishing? Basically a Red Ryder type wagon with ice chest, tackle, rod holders, chair, etc. Just looking for small ideas that might save a trip or two back to the car.

    I got a new fishing chair for bank fishing! I wanted one for a long time.

    The carp guys and "match" guys have some primo bank fishing gear. (I have some myself.)

    It's all English and European stuff that's imported to the US.

    It's great gear, but it's not cheap.

    Bass Pro sells a 5-gallon bucket with a padded seat. That would be perfect for most people.

    Although I own two Jon boats , I fish about half the time from shore . Some days I just don't want to fool with a boat , especially if I'm fishing a pond .
    My bank fishing gear is the bare minimum . Sometimes I'll carry a stool . But a lot of times I stuff a couple small boxes of lures in my pockets , hang a towel on my belt and go . Gillchaser

    My pictures would be pretty lame. Usually just a rod in my hands and a pack of jigs in my pocket.

    I use a hunting belt with several different pouches on it, a fold up chair and a couple of rods.
