If you haven't already, consider including your cranking battery to your on-board battery charging system.

Also, install the T-H Marine Troll-Tamer Trolling Motor Locking System - 

You'll be glad you did.

I f you dont have power poles a couple of good anchors come in handy . My cousin and I anchored two consecutive days on a windy point to win a 500 boat tourney .

I will list my top three

 

RUBBER basket net- got no time to waste trying to unsnag my lure or messing with any of it.

 

Texas tackle split ring pliers.  They are amazing and swapping out a bent up or beat up hook on a bait or adding rings to jerks to get them to suspend right became a lot less time consuming.

 

Basic first aid kit.  Take a hook and need to stop the bleeding or have a crashing headache.  These can ruin a day.  Bandaids, motrin, and some benedryl for poisoned bites.  Snakes spiders bees whatever.  And it's good for your dog to if they get bit.

A popsnagger is very handy  pliers, braid cutter, hook threader, eye cleaner, and hook sharpener.  It never leaves my boat.
