RE: What are your must haves for shore fishing? Would a net be one of them?
My minimal must have are:
- a small carry friendly tackle kit. I have an over the shoulder bandoleer style tackle kit that I can carry with me in hands free capacity as I move along the shore. I chose the bandoleer instead of the fanny pack because it would allow me to wade deeper without getting it wet. - A small tackle kit for my hooks and leads. - A small tackle kit for small lures; spinners; - a variety of floats I tend to pack species specific kits so I don;t carry a lot of tackle with me. I have found that depending on the location a net is not a must. If there is a good area to bring your fish onto the shore I would not bring a net. I do bring nets to some areas which I may have to lift a fish. On a side note; I have started to use longer rods and found it tricky to use a net with them. |

Must haves? Rod, reel, line, knife, small tackle bag with species specific tackle. In all my years of shore fishing I have never found myself wishing i had a net.

Basic lures that can be used for a number of species: Small Mepps Spinners Sizes 0-2, Twister Tail Grubs, Small Crankbaits (Live Target makes great ones), Plastic Worms (Berkley 3" Trout Worms are great), a flipping jig or two, and a topwater lure like a Hula Popper or Hollow Body Frog.
If you plan on targeting bigger fish a net is highly recommended. A good pair of pliers are a must have. A spare spool of line can come in handy often. A multi tool or knife is also highly recommended. Some good hooks, and jig heads. A bobber or two. I'll try to add more if I can think of them. |

Nail clippers.
Needle nose pliers. Cheap cord stringer. Lock blade knife. Hook sharpener. Disposable Wet wipes. A few plastic bags. Sunglasses. Net (or clamping fish gripper) a rod holder of some description (rather than a forked stick) ............ and yes............... your desired lures/hooks/sinkers in "sane" quantities in a shoulder bag Less is more when ya gotta lug it. Cheers, OldTimer <>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><> See you on the river. |

All the items listed above are must have's for any fishing trip...
For shore fishing... Good walking shoes or hiking boots...if you are serious about catching fish, you will be walking LOTS...so better have good footwear if you want to last. Good backpack to carry you gear. Tackle bags are okay...but nothing is more practical and comfortable than a good backpack with padding and straps. Malama o ke kai Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger.

Thanks for the advice y'all.
I should have a checklist before I go off on my shoreline fishing trips. On one of my recent trips, I forgot to bring the worms.. |
