    Default Taking up bank fishing.


    Thought I would build a bank fishing cart. It needed to be able to travel well and roll on rough terrain. Carry a cooler and my tackle box. Spider rigging off the bank will be the bomb with this rig. Flat to ready to roll in less than a minute. Breakdown takes the same amount of time. Still lack a little tweaking and a hand full of hardware. Hope it works out. Sure will be cheaper than boat fishing

    Can you troll with it. Where are you going to mount the FF at? What size motor does it take to get it on plane? Just funnin. Looks like a good setup to me. You might think about a small battery to power a LED light that you could toss in for a little night fishing.

    Very creative. What kinda welder do you have. I have a wire welder. Thought about buying a aluminum spool gun for it

    Just need a fold down seat off the back of it and a receiver for an umbrella somewhere up in the top center. You could hang a coon tail off of the umbrella to read the wind by. Just a thought.

    A added feature is that the winch is self regulating.

    JW, I wish I had a welder. If I had a place and the tools, I could have lots of fun seeing what I could create. I do have a little steel and aluminum welding experience, but lack the equipment now. The mods to the cart happened with a hacksaw, a drill, a rivet gun and a few wrenches. Left me plumb worn out.
