Whatever car I'm driving to get me there.

Fish on...

Todd

Agree with Todd. If I can't get to the river, I can't fish. Almost all my car and truck buying decisions have been influenced by fishing. If I cannot depend on my wheels to reliably get me to and from wherever I want to go fishing, then I know it's time to buy a new car.

Second most critical piece of gear would probably be my waders, since I mostly fish rivers. I guess boat, trailer, motor would fit in that place if I were boat fishing instead of wade fishing.

In the final analysis, most any rod and reel can get the job done, but without reliable transportation to fishing, and on the water, fishing ain't a happening thing.

A fishin' buddy that will fill the gas tank or anything in splatterback green gets me excited. I also like the bucket on board with freshwater to throw salted gear in for a quick rinse. I am not tough to please.

Back when Salmo started fishing he had to replace his horse every three years as the automobile hadn't been invented yet.

The McCulloch brothers...I always seems to catch fish when I'm with those tools.

I am going to have to get a hold of Stam and have him send me one, so that both political parties are equally represented when it comes to hats. I will look into that Hankster

First off I would say my Cabelase Guide wear jacket. (you gotta stay dry)
Second I would say my filson wool lined filson hat I call it the "storm king" the one that straps to the chin. (you gotta stay dry)

Third a good tash of some dry TP (gotta stay clean)

You're really using the word car loosely aren't you?

i really miss having a functional shoulder.

Parker just wing it.

it only hurts when i laugh......

fraker.

Razor sharp hooks or stay home.

I agree!
I'm a volunteer at my local schools teaching aquatic education. Come springtime we take the fifth graders fishing at outdoor camp. The guys at my local tackle shop are continually amazed at my purchase of premium hooks for this...

For many of these young folks it is often the first time to catch a fish.
IMHO a good sharp hook is the prominent factor determining if they even have a chance at landing a fish. I pinch the barbs because we are fishing close quarters in lakes doing catch and release.

I like cake.

love my flask. even better if it's full of Crown.

Bonkin stick....Nuff said!

leatherman and a pink worm

Fish whistle.....yea, that thing.

WTF!? Guess you will have to venture up this way to fish. Warning: remember what I said about gear sabotage should I be outfished... it also applies to hats that may or may not 'disappear'...

Twitch-

You still going to give me a heads up when those winters start to show?
