At first glance, I thought this said 360 XBox. I thought to myself, that's an odd item to bring fishing...

If you aren't catching anything, whip out that Cabelas game and catch something on there so you don't skunk!

Why would I bring a 360 XBox?  I so much prefer playing Space Invaders on the Atari® 2600 when casting from shore...

Haha

 

While I have played one, it was released 10 years before my birth year. I grew up with the Super NES (vaguely remember the original NES) but my jam will always be the N64. Man oh man, that Goldeneye 007 was legit!

I use a hunting belt  with several velcro and zippered pouches that hold everything I need. I can't stand carrying any kind of tackle box around, and backpacks aren't for me either . They hinder my casting and if you take them off its no different to me than a tacklebox.You still have to pick it up and carry it each time you move which is annoying to me.

I usually carry one rod for the same reason. Occasionally two.

Cargo pants and columbia shirt with lots of pockets full of lures. 2 rods. Pill bottle with hooks n weights. No tackle box or bag. Backpack cooler. 

Drop to 1 rod for wading creeks. 

The ladies at the Hagerstown and National Harbor Columbia outlets know me by name, and the NEX blows stuff out end of year, so I'm always wearing some of their stuff, it holds up, and I think they pay the seamstress by how many pockets they sew on, so yeah..

I have a Spiderwire bag as well that holds 4 large plano boxes but I swap out the 4th for two smaller boxes. One small box holds terminal tackle and the 4th is my "walking box".

 

We usually bring our bikes when fishing so we can cover a lot of ground, so I sling the Spiderwire over my shoulder and carry a baitcaster and a spinning reel. I'll fish a spot for a while and if I want to walk the shoreline I'll put whatever I think I need in my "walking box" and go up and down the bank from there. If nothing is biting we'll bike further on down or to another lagoon.

 

My son carries a backpack full of water and snacks. When he's not fishing with me I usually leave one plano home and throw a few waters in my tackle bag. There's nothing worse than being dehydrated out there on a hot day.

I’ve always got at least one bottle of water in my backpack when I head out. The bottom compartment holds 4 Plano’s, and I keep 3 in there so I can fit water.

I usually combine several colors of the same worm and soft plastic in one bag. I put two spare hooks in the bag.Put two packs in the pocket with a Swiss army and nail clipper

and I'm good for 3-4 hours with one rod.

I have a soft sided Plano bag for necessities, pliers, scissors, hooks, extra baits, etc. I sling it over my shoulder when moving and it rests at my feet when I am not.

 

One rod is usually all I take. If I have a second one I bring one of those rod holders you can stick in the ground. I like to travel light.
