This is something I haven't seen on the forum in my limited time on here and don't recall ever seeing it in the archives either. I was wondering what kind of set up you all use for fishing from the shore...
Many of the ponds I fish are small enough that they can be efficiently fished from the shore. Even when I go out on smaller boats like a john boat or canoe, I still like this setup. I don't just use this setup for fishing ponds, but also like it for fishing more remote areas that I hike in to.
It's basically a back pack with compartments that hold different tackle boxes and soft sided bait binders.




Since 90% of the fishing I do is with artificials, most of my tackle space is dedicated to them, but I do carry some gear for fishing live bait. Depending on your style of fishing, you could tweak the set up to your preferred fishing style. I've had this setup for about 2 years and it has worked very well for me.
There are two main compartments stacked on top of each other.
The top compartment holds three 3600 size tackle boxes. In them I keep different style crankbaits and top water plugs.
