Things Every Fisherman needs in the Boat

#TheAverageAngler. Its a good idea to be prepared when you are going fishing. Nothing can ruin a great day on the water quicker than having to leave early, or losing an expensive bait. Here are some things I keep in my boat in a small kit to save the day. Let me know what I missed or if there is something that is essential for you.

Portable set of battery cables, a bilge pump motor with 6ft hose and alligator clips. Agree with the cutters the best are Knipex mini bolt cutters. Had a 8/0 Muskie hook buried in my back by my ex partner. They cut like butter! Extra pair of basic clothes. You might need or you never know you may pull someone out of the water.Flashlight

Like the hat. I also like Fishing Boat Docks.

hey Sean! Let me echo your list of essentials. Terrific vid! I was watching Matt @tacticalBassin about a month ago talking about always have dikes in boat. I have everything but that and meant to grab a pair. Went out last week and 6:30am had worst case scenario. A small 1lbr on big sexy dawg 3 trebles. Couldn’t lip so grabbed on side and he got me…right thru thumb! fortunately went back to boat ramp and someone putting in had a pair. Needless to say I got a pair now. 😂

Gotta have a set of clothes in a drysack, even in the summer. Lots of things can happen in split second.

That’s still one I neglect. Gonna need to fix that.

It's been a few years since I've owned a boat . liquid bandage . crazy glue and duct tape for cuts . and now a bunch of companies make medical grade ca glue liquid bandage also smells like mend it . I have a feeling it would work on frogs and soft plastics

@@brucenichols9206 multiple uses is always a a good thing.

[@kelster1574]

I just bought a pair of the Pline cutters last month.......bummer, hopefully they work when I need them.....guess I better find a pair of the Knipex

[@TheAverageAngler]

They may work for a few things but nothing heavy.

Dude wipes and a container to use if you need to go before you get back to the dock. And sunscreen.

[@TheAverageAngler]

I had the sunscreen sitting in front of me and forgot. lol

[@bryceslavik6730]

I carry some jumper cables. In case my starter battery goes bad.

[@TheAverageAngler]

I have a built in jumper in my boat so I don’t carry them. I should in case someone else needs a jump. Good one.

[@kennethlowy1864]

Battery charging device to start a dead battery

[@TheAverageAngler]

I always forget that one because I have an onboard jumper. Great idea.

[@ernestpaling5097]

Toilet paper!!! As well as some in your truck!!!

[@TheAverageAngler]

Absolutely

[@Headcrabman9999]

...boat?

[@TheAverageAngler]

It applies to bank fisherman, kayak fisherman and so on. I carry most of what I listed in my bag when beating the bank.
