Non fishing items in boat

[abelfisher]

What non fishing items do you keep in your boat at all times?

I'll start:

Tool kit

First aid kit

The obvious PDF's etc.

Fire Extinguisher

paddle

Dry set of clothes in case a lunker pulls me in....

anymore?

This is an article I wrote a little while back.

Extra towels in a dry storage box. Ziplock baggies in case somebody needs to protect their wallet or cell phone, etc. I almost always have a cooler on the bote with water and/or drinks.

I keep light rain gear in the boat for me and a passenger

often a pole and sometimes a mechete or hatchet

a spotlight, blacklight/florecent, and flashlight

a votage meter

duct and electrical tape

extra stainless screws and bolts

battery powered arreator

extra batteries

tow line and cords

spare T motor prop and prop wrench

dispossable camera (never remembered until too late)

maps

bowls for drinking water and food for the dog

I don't have a boat, but I don't go on one without some sunscreen & bug spray.  My brother always keeps an extra plug, prop & nut in his boat too.

[Muddpuppy]

Bug repelent and sunscreen is almost a must. I like to have at least an extra quart of oil onboard too just in case.

extra fuses

[Dobi]

Snack / drink and pepto bismol...

nothing worse then trying to concentrate on fishing when your stomach isn't right.

(spoken like a true fatboy... haha)

[Rattlinrogue]

Most everything mentioned...plus a CD plyer with earphones for those days that fishing is going nowhere.

How about a whistle or horn and flares

[Team_Dougherty]

The non fishing stuff I have onboard is:

extra prop for outboard and trolling motor

extra spark plugs for outboard

small toolbox with tools to change plugs and props

2 pints of 2 cycle oil

extra drain plug

whistle

fire extinguisher

pfds

extra line (rope)

several clean hand towels

baby wipes

1,000,000 candle power spot light

paddles

bait/bailing bucket

anchor

bumpers/fenders depending on what you call them

I also bring coolers for food and drink and other stuff depending on weather. But none of that stays on the boat full time.

#1 on my list is Toilet paper.

I think the rest has been covered

[Ben]

If I took everything out of my boat and photographed it spread out on the ground, you would swear it wouldn't all fit in the boat.

I have

rain gear for two, and two large golf umbrellas.

Sweat shirts and wind breakers for two

Butane lighters

flashlights

Cordless Q-Beam

Water and drinks

crackers, potted meat, vienna's, beanee winnee's

tools, plugs, prop, DVM, super glue, electric tape, tie wraps.

Paddle, two fire extenquiers (one in the front and one in the back)

telescopeing plug retriever

PFDs for three and a throw cushion

two small blacks lights just in case we decide to fish on into the night

Spare reels, a number of spools of line

Throw in about a dozen 5700 and 5600 organizers, about 50 lbs of plasic baits and 10 rods and reels

This ain't all but it would take another page to list the other stuff.

OH Yea!! TP in a zip lock bag, paper towels, and shop rags. Those are three standard items in every form of transportion I own.

#1 on my list is Toilet paper.

Yes I agree. That is why I listed baby wipes on my list. TP in a boat tends to get wet and messy. Baby Wipes are it a water tight plastic container and are more efficient at their job than TP. Plus they are great for hand washing after handeling fish before eating snacks and such.
