Cecil do you have a boat? If you are fishing a smaller body of water then I'd suggest getting a float tube. You can just throw it on your back and launch where you want and its a good work out as well.
True but where do you put the fish? Surely you're not proposing I put them on a stringer?
Yes I have a boat. Going to get it out of mothballs. I haven't used it in several years.

Going fishing on the local lakes got to be too much trouble and too much of a circus to me. The overpowered boats and jet skis are horrible here. It would be O.K. if they would stay away from your fishing boat but they don't.
