Title: Catfisherman's Tackle Buggy
Post by: mo65 on August 31, 2016, 03:34:52 PM
Ahh yes...the "frugal fisherman" strikes again. After looking at all the cool beach buggies and their mammoth price tags, I decided to make myself one that fit my budget, cheap!! :D I bought this decrepit garden wagon at an auction for peanuts, scraped off the rust, and sprayed 'er down with Rustoleum. Tied in a few rod holders and BAM!...ready for action. This will work great for packing my gear down to the dam...as I can pull it right down the sidewalk! 8)

Recycling works! It's good for the planet, and, most especially, the Angler.

Really clever and smart, Mo --

Where do you put the Catfish on the way back?

Best,

See that empty space behind the cooler? That was measured to make sure a bucket of KFC will fit in there! ;) :D ;D

Thanks everyone!  :)  I'm sure that in a few years it will look just like it did before...but I'll be struttin' down at the pier this season! 8)

Nice rig, Mo!

It's green and green for planet earth, too.

Now go get some fish slime on it. ;D

Very clever Mo....

 .... I can't imagine how you got all that gear to your spot prior to the custom wagon. No worries now.  8) 8)

Well Ted...it usually resulted in more than one trip down to the pier and back. Here are a few photos showing the walkways. They zig-zag down through the rip rap.
