To ALL Fishing Addicts

How many of you carry your fishing gear in your vehicle at all times (during open fishing season)??

Do you go to your spots after work or stop by a roadside fishing hole when travelling for a short time?

How addicted are you????

Ya....thats the downfall for sure....

I lost all my stuff 2 years ago. I am a little more carefull now. But I still seam to have a rod in the trunk all the time. Just incase.

cranky · #5 03-23-2013, 10:54 AM

Nope to many sticky fingers around these days.

Always, open and hard water. Had a bad dream once that I drove by a fishing hole full of fish and didn't have a rod with me. Now that would just be terrible. I don't keep any expensive gear with me. A rod and some basic tackle is replaceable.

BeeGuy · #7 03-23-2013, 11:00 AM

no

but there is always something in there.

BGanglers net (cooooooooooostanza)

an anchor

random life jacket

20/0 circle hook
10/0 octopus hook

I dunno, he claims to be a minimalist. IMO flyfishing isnt generaly the sport of minimalists.

I keep a minimal amount of gear in the truck. Just enough to catch fish but not enough I'll cry if it goes missing. A double sided tackle container small enough to fit in my glove box and an Uglystick behind the seat seems to go unnoticed yet has caught me many a fish.

Fly gear is with me at all times....my jeep was broken into my 1st week moving to Calgary and they got everything that i just had shipped to me from Ont. so had to start from scratch replacing everything......

Ya, I may or may not keep one of those in there too.

tight line · #16 03-23-2013, 12:15 PM

ALWAYS!!!!! Lol, that includes flying. There is no offseason for me, lots of places open year round

Fishnafterwork · #17 03-23-2013, 12:17 PM

Always have anything i need to stop anywhere from coast to coast..... Half of my work van is solely dedicated to fishing and camping gear.... Rods reels waders tent sleeping bag cooking supply's and more gear than I could use in a lifetime... Haha

I'll try to get a pic up later... Many a times I worked thru the nite cause the fishing was just too good to leave

Mikezilk · #18 03-23-2013, 12:39 PM

Come open season, I have a kayak or canoe on the roof of the canopy, and every type or rod and gear ready. Never know when I need to call in sick halfway to work for the morning.

Maybe i should try that ^^ approach too.
Often wished i had my gear in truck when a unexpected opportunity comes up.

Cal · #21 03-23-2013, 02:19 PM

Heres what I keep in my work truck all winter. In the summer its same box, different hooks, substitute a fishing rod for the ice gear.

Alberta Bigbore · #22 03-23-2013, 02:23 PM

I always keep some cheapies under the rear truck seat. Never my StCroixs though lol

Great for spares though.... or an early day off work and just drive to the river without stopping at home.

crazyfish · #23 03-23-2013, 03:18 PM

always have a few things in the truck, a small tackle box and a older rod tucked under the back seat .

I bet most of your St. Croix are one piece, that would be hard to fit under the seat!

RavYak · #26 03-23-2013, 04:14 PM

I usually have my stuff in the car, too lazy to take it out and put it back in each time I want to go fishing lol.

HuyFishin · #27 03-23-2013, 06:36 PM

I leave all my 1 piece st croixs at home and leaving the 4pc st croix travel rod in the truck

Sounds like you have a St Croix fetish?
You should put this under the "Collectables" thread....

pickrel pat · #29 03-23-2013, 06:55 PM

My truck farts tackle... Its where i am.(usually outside a small town bar).. But ya... Everywhere.

wetchimo · #30 03-23-2013, 07:05 PM

In the Summer I always have my gear with me. If I see lake that I didn't fish, i'll have nightmares till I get it done.
