MT2 reply :

I mean something you will not leave with other than a cell phone, snacks, drinks etc......

I ask cos I just turned 35 Friday, got up and was getting my stuff together. And suddenly I look in my dry box, where's my Icy Hot? O man....running around.....turning the house upside down. I knew I should of took it out applied a little and put it back!!!! Finally found it....what a releif. When the though cross's your mind w/o it do I really want to go?

Got me wondering what type of stuff do you guys HAVE TO HAVE to go thats not on the average anglers list. What is your "Maintence Wipe"? Swindle fans know what I mean.

Funny enough but a hunting friend who happens to be a judge was less then thrilled with the judge he bought.I personally couldnt ask for anything better then a Ruger super blackhawk 44mag.I keep a round or 2 of shotshell chambered for snakes and the rest for bear/other large furry problem causing creatures.

Mine is always CC in a Bladetech. Fishing last night... two Game Wardens pulled up and I was not carrying CC. It was in a pancake holster and my shirt had ridden up exposing my 21SF. I noticed they saw it and immediately put my right hand above shoulder level and stated "I know you see what I have. I am a cop." Turned out, as they go closer, one of them was a friend of mine.

geeze...some of you guys have more extra stuff than i have actual tackle. aside from lures and hooks and stuff i got my line clipper, needle nose pliers, a good sharp knife and a stringer. i also have the fishing guide pamphlet they gave me when i bought my liscense. it lists all the local lakes and rivers and has pictures of fish for easy identification and the size and catch limits. but then again im new. all you expieriencd fisherman probably dont need something like that.

Texfisherman reply :

Great question; had to chime in on this one.

Let's see: Mini-Mag Flashlight, ball cap flashlights, sun block, fisherman's soap, Spike It! - Garlic spray, surgical scissors, needle-nose pliers (for hook retrieval), wire cutters (in case a bass swallows the hook I can cut the hook in half... usually), digital camera, eyeglass screwdrivers for my reels, cloth tape, glow-in-the-dark paint, extra batteries for camera and flashlights, Deep Woods Off, 2-3 lighters... I think that's all. Oh, and Zantac 75 lol!!

Jesse Ours reply :

Teddy bear and hankerchief for when i get emotional

NoBoatLance reply :

i might take different items depending upon where im planning on fishing. But i always take plenty of neosporin, bandaids, electircal tape, and a fitted gardening glove. all three combined can make the difference between heading home because you cut your hand or continuing to fish without incident.
