Thread: Pier Cart Upgrade

Hope the pictures show up on this thread. If not I will post them one at a time. I am a "New arrival" here who has contracted "Pier Fishin Fever" as I mentioned in another thread earlier this week. When I first got my new cart from J&M I noticed some things (chairs) would slip through the framework. Added bottom panels made from 1/4" luan sealed and painted. Added 4 new pole holders for the different rigs I observed on the pier. All ready to go and hope to catch some fish to go with all this. I'm sure I will someday with the help from all the good people on GSPP.
Probably need help with the pictures?

If you don't have already, a front caster wheel sure is handy.
Looks like your almost set up, till more mods cross your path....now make some king wire rigs if your thinking of fishing for them....handy to have pre made ones....mine from 3 years ago are almost gone....figured this last trip would have ended the supply, but a couple left....time for me to get on it too, plus more custom cut jigs..

Kings are the goal! You showed me your rigs. You like a float on them. Could you PM me or post the specs on this forum. Wire leader test and length. Location of float. Wire to line (braid or mono) knot. Or swivel?
Much appreciated. I can make some up! Locking front wheel came with the cart!

#2 or 4 treble hook ,3or4x strong, I like 7 strand AFW uncoated camo color (brown)(some like single )29/30lb wire no bigger, I sneel the hook then use a crimped on small swivel, 12in +or - length.....float is sometimes used but it clips on so adjustable 3-4 feet
Last time I think I made 60 or 70+....some days if the sharks are bad I would go through a few
