I've got two sons, 15 and 13 years old. They are big strappin' football players. They can be my pack mules for the week. I do have a large cart, about 3'X4' that I use to haul all my catfishing gear to the bank. It holds two large coolers, one of which is a livewell for bait, and probably fifty pounds of gear and rods. If I can find a way to bring it with us I will.
