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.


I know what you mean about public waterways. The local lake near me has some fat 12" perch and they are of course located at the "water ski course" so if you are fishing anytime of the year except winter you are likely to get capsized by a wave.

I don't use a stringer. I take a 2 buckets one with holes in it and another without. I leave the one without holes on shore and the one with the holes I add the fish to and just drag it with me.
