When you are out in the bay slaying some nookie, what are some things that you carry with you know that you didn't when you first started fishing?

When I first started fishing Chinook all I took with me was a handful of crescent sinkers, a pocket of double hook leaders (solid tie if you please) and a bucket of headless herring. I also took a single rod with a direct drive reel. And oh by the way no electronics.

While that still is my preferred method today when heading out for Chinook it takes at least a large satchel to hold all my tackle which would included a variety of flashers and dodgers in every color (plus some never seen in nature) in the rainbow, a variety of sinkers, spoons (large ones, small ones, fat ones and skinny ones again in a wide range of colors), hoochies (again a variety of sizes and colors), lead jigs in a variety of weights, colors, and manufacturers, some "flies", a bag of downrigger releases, extra downrigger ball, a box of plugs9 (again different sizes and colors, a number of different scents, extra line material, swivels, hooks, etc. In addition I will often have several different rods (trolling rods, mooching, rods, jigging rods, etc) depending on the day's play fishing.

No wonder the sport is so damn expensive! RECently after a couple hours of successful mooching on a favorite tide I remember thinking that I'm not so sure that simple was better.

I find jigging is the most fun but the most consistent producer for me is a properly cut and rigged spinner cut herring behind a hotspot flasher.

Coley likes fanny packs.

A bucket is one of the most valuable, versatile tools on my boat.

Not quite as much as a nice pair of shants.

As far as the thing I never used to carry but now do, a throw bag would probably be the most significant, in terms of staying alive anyhow.

A cell phone. I have been full circle from the sinker and herring to the downriggers and cable and now am back to the sinker and herring. The cell phone is about the only thing I never had back in the day.
