Thread: Surf fishing - How do you haul all your stuff to the beach?

I like the sled idea, guess will have to check Walmart next time I am there to see what their snow sled selection is like.
Should I try Foley or gulf shores???

I used this one (48" plastic toboggan)...
Plastic Sleds and Snowboards from Sledwarehouse

Anyone ever use on of these? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Terrain-D...Olive/19503957

If it will haul a deer im sure it will haul fishing gear and a cooler with a lil modification

Of course someone has them for sale. Kind of pricey but looks like a great idea. I would find a way to mount the sand spikes and sandflea rake to the backpack.

That's a pretty neat piece of equipment, But I'd have to par down on what I "Need" to take with me "A LOT"
Makes my back hurt to just think about it , It's not for us old guys

I've thought about building a box out of 1/4 inch plywood big enough to hold a 5 gallon bucket and mounting it to a Military Alice frame. Could then mount rod holders to the side and a rack on the back to hold sand spikes. I've seen them for sale in the past cheap but now that I want one every one I see is like $40.

. I have a sled for the sand and a cart for the pier, but my wife got me a rod carrier organizer travel case a few years ago and it works surprisingly well. I can carry 4 rods, and a sand flea rake on the out side and sand spikes, rubber mallet, a couple plastic bait organizers on the inside and pouches, and then carry a camping chair on my other shoulder and still be able to carry a small cooler in my hand. I usually put the chair up first then you can lay the bag against the chair to keep it out of the sand. its fine for just going down to the beach from the condo, but I wouldn't want to walk to the point at Fort M organ with it because either the chair or the carrier or both always wants to slip off my shoulder. what I like about that is I can just get on the elevator as is, when I use the sled I have to unpack everything and put the sled back into the wife's car or my truck. Amazon has them on sale for $26.99.

i generally use my brothers-in-law to haul my gear.

I have an insulated dry bag backpack cooler with external compartments. I usually pack all of my tackle, bait, and drinks in this. It is large enough to hold several fish if I decide to keep any and is easy to clean when finished. I have added a couple of extra straps to it and secure my pvc rod holder tubes to these. Then, I just carry the three or four rods I usually take with me. Makes changing locations a snap and I always have all of my gear with me. I normally fish two set rods in holders and have the other two set-up with jighead and gulp and the other with a pomp jig or Looney jig. Great system for me, but limited in that you cant carry all of the family stuff with you if the wife and kids are going.
