Subject: [VFB] Fishing Car - Survey
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2003 09:11:24 -0600
After I put out today's quote, I thought it might be fun to query the list as to what each of you use for your fishing car/truck. I'm sure this will run the gamut from ragged pick ups and cars to family cars/trucks to "custom" fishing vehicles and for the rich ones, maybe a HUMMER. LOL ! I'm just wondering what modifications have you made, if any, to your fishing vehicle to ease your trip to and from the stream and your overnight camping while fishing. Mine is a 1996 4-door F350 diesel pick up. I've added a big locking aluminum tool box on the bed, just behind the rear window. Here I carry a floor jack, 4-way lug wrench, heavy duty jumper cables, and a 10X12 tarp, just in case it's needed. Also I have my streamside fly tying kit, a sleeping bag, air mattress, pop-up dome tent, propane stove, Boy Scout Patrol cook kit, an extra fuel filter for the truck and an assortment of wrenches, etc. I also put all my fishing gear that I won't use except my fly rods, which I store out of sight behind the rear seat. Don't want to run the chance of having my truck broken into when someone spies my fishing gear, like what happened to Del Roberts earlier this year.
LEMME HEAR FROM YOU - What's your fishing vehicle ??? Any modifications ???
Have a Great Day

P.S. YES, I'M STILL A PRISONER IN MY OWN HOME - NO DRIVING, RIDING, ETC. TILL I go see my doc on the 12th. Hopefully he'll clear me to resume my normal activities. So . . . like I said earlier, I tie flies, manage the three swaps I'm currently meistering, play on the computer and lastly aggravate you guys. Hey - a guy's gotta do what he's gotta do!
