I have some of those but not all. Take anyone thing away and you will surely need it when it is gone. I do keep a small tool set and will be adding a first aid kit.

Try guiding out of a 23 foot boat. I’ve been all winter ( while recovering from shoulder replacement plus cataract surgery) reorganizing my rod boxes and such so I can find room for 6 life vests plus 6 inflatables. I don’t use rod boxes except for storage and I found crap I’ve been looking for 2 years for. I always stock my boat with many things I think I’ll need for clients and then can’t locate so I buy more of the same crap.

Funny story; After my hip replacement last June, I had a buddy pull my Excel Storm Cat 230 to the factory at Union City,Tn for an electrical check and to lower my engine and Jack plate. A few days later it came to me that my personal firearm was in my glovebox when the electrical supervisor called and mentioned my glovebox. I thought OH CRAP there goes my Pro Staff deal. I asked him where the contents of the glovebox were and he said they were locked up in the plant manager ‘s office. He told me they got amused by the amount of crap in the glovebox until they found a holstered 9mm.
It was all cool!

After checking the list twice, I'm too tired to go fishing!

I keep bare minimum in boat. I can't stand to have alot a crap all over the boat while I am fishing.

I am the same way and actually will not invite some to fish because they want to bring so much stuff . Those that fish from 20-22 ft boats are way over stocked to fish in a 16 ft. boat .

Can you believe that all of the stuff on my list fit fine in a 10' V bottom? My lure box is small with 5 partitioned boxes that slide out; actively used soft plastics are in CD boxes; all else is in a plastic box storage container. Here are condensed examples:
CD boxes
Attachment 423096

Jig box
Attachment 423097

Unless I lose a lot of lures, the above could last for 4 - 5 outings.

Bug spray and sunscreen are a must have.

I carry a jump starter battery pack as well.
