How do you carry your Shore-Fishin' Gear?

[A2F]

Hello Fellow Addicts!

I've been recently thinking of ways to carry my Shore-Fishing stuff around, moving from spot to spot - while maintaining comfort.

Last summer, I went to "Toronto Island" to do some fishing - at the time, I just brought my typical "Over the Shoulder" style Tackle Bag. They carry well, for the 1st hr or so but due to the style of these bags (and dependant on the wieght), they don't make good for "long" hikes - Eventually, the strap "Over the Shoulder" starts to put a toll on the body making it uncomfortable to carry.

Later on that day, we then came across a bunch of "Disc Golfers" playing - and I saw this "Strap" like contraption holding their bags on their backs... which, immediatly caught my eye - "HOLY CRAP! THAT'S AN AWESOME IDEA!".

So, rather than spending the money right away I tried to find 'similar' ideas - Why not use a BACKPACK! This worked great for awhile, only problem is that when I leaned over (say to assist going downhill - tying my shoes - or some similar movement) - the bag would sort of 'ride up' (if that makes sense). I also found problems like - no holsters for my "scents" (which I use a whole lot) and other fishing related compartments.

Anyway, I then later on (in the year) decided - screw it! I'll buy those 'Disc Golf Straps" and see how well they do - they look pretty comfortable. I'll just REMOVE the "Over the Shoulder" straps and put on the "Disc Golf Straps". Well, lastnight was the 1st time I got to use it - and I have to say - it makes the BIGGEST DIFFERENCE EVER! WAY MORE COMFORTABLE - AND - It has compartments DESIGNED to carry "Fishing Gear" (ie: Plano Boxes etc..) when paired with your original tackle bag!

This is how I carry my stuff around while fishing - so far, I gotta say it was the smartest move yet.

Here is what they look like:
