On behalf of all your viewers who, like myself, are stuck on the bank 95% of the time, thank you! I'm on the bank right now with two catfish pro combos active, dropper loop rigs with 3oz bank sinkers and chicken on both

I put off buying into the portable power stations for a long time. My wife decided to order 2 Jackery 240's on prime day last year, they were about $150 each. I found I use them all the time! Fishing, hunting, camping, even while road tripping to have more power outlets for charging phones in the car. She just ordered another bigger one a couple days ago on prime day. Definitely worth the money.

When I just have a couple of hours to fish on a work day, I put my gear in a milk crate that I have attached to a Milwaukee folding hand cart with bungee cords. If I plan on being out longer, I haul my stuff in a collapsible wagon/garden cart that I've mounted PVC rod holders to, attached with hose clamps at all 4 corners. Very useful.

I have my gear selection narrowed down to where everything fits into a backpack so all I have to carry is my rod's and bait bucket

[sealtechblades]

I take the milk crate from my kayak and use a bungie cord to tie it to a dolly cart with big wheels. The PVC pipes on the crate carry my rods and net, i can fit a lot of tackle and supplies inside the crate, and i can still carry a bucket and or chair quite easily. If you opt to carry a small tacklebox over your shoulder, a well built crate will even fit a 5 gallon bucket inside and still carry all your rods. That puts the weight of any fish you take home on the dolly instead of on your shoulders.

Thanks Dieter for the helpful tips for those of us who mostly do our fishing from the banks these days. Like you, I carry a tackle bag and have number of small tackle boxes within the bag with all my terminal tackle that I need inside. In addition to items that you mentioned during your video I've also found it useful to carry small towel to wipe off my hands or dry things off & I also carry a small first aid kit, usually with assortment of band-aids, antibioctic ointment, etc, which you never know when your going to need it. Thanks for sharing your video.

Bank fishing 99.9% of the time still saving for a boat are a kayak. Would love to see some more bank fishing videos from you.

[aljones]

Great video. As a bank fisherman I appreciate the tips. Thank you.

Bug repellent. The electric ones that emit a vapor are great. Here in WI at night the skeeters can carry you off!

[Beech]

I added some stuff onto my mountain bike to carry everything for me and the backpack i have is my tackle box and cooler works really good

[dabandcaamp]

For the bank fisher man it would be cool to see you shoot a video from the bank one day but regardless love your videos very informative

[joebuck]

Great list of items. I have them all but the last on but, I have several power packs that I bring with me. I just have to remember to charge them before hand. Great video Dieter.

Try a Tidycat cat litter bucket. They're square & you can cut a notch on the rim for your pole to rest in (I know you said done rest your poles on your bucket, lol).
I like to use a piece of Paracord to tie a safety line on my pole. Just in case in distastes when they bite.

I put a minnow bucket in bottom of 5 gallon bucket and an organizer that sits in top of five gallon bucket. Rod holders on side. Great info and vid!

[kencleg]

The bubbler a great point I found one on the side of the road and I fished a week and 2 d ds lasted alll week used it for the fish and bait

[pappy]

I took a bit of material about 1.5" wide by roughly 24" long and put some reasonably heavy snaps on it to carry my rods. It just wraps and snaps on both sides of the reels to make an effective carrying handle. I typically carry 4 rods. 3 and a spare. Just in case. Pretty cheap way to ease that load. Been working great the last few years. Thanks for your Tips Dieter! There's mine!

Walmart sells a universal 5 gallon bucket lid by Frabil with an aerator. It also has some loops built into the sides to keep some things handy like a bait net, pliers etc. Seems worth the $14 for me.

[madtownangler]

I use my bike to ride to where I'm fishing.

I lean the bike down and actually have ropes and catabiners (clips) to keep my rods on shore

I just unclip the rod when I have a fish on.

Everything else I have in a large backpack and carry it all down three flights of stairs to start with.

The top container in the pack is where I carry bait and pop in a small cooler with ice packs. I usually fish all night and this stuff works well.

I can strap a chair to this whole thing really easily if I want

My deer hunting backpack I have straps to hook a bucket to it and I can flip the bucket upside down and put my stuff in in to keep my jacket dry and not sweat on the way to where I go hunting. It takes me at least a half hour of walking uphill. Good thing is that it is downhill after I get a deer.

Like the wagon idea, forgot ( paint your pliers blaze orange, 🤔 so you don't forget them, when you leave the bank.😂😂
And yes, folks bring their tackle.😂😂

[hotramen]

and a soft sided wagon to carry it all!
