I use storage containers from Harbor Freight Tools to keep my lures, hooks, and sinkers. I put everything in a military surplus backpack. It has lots of storage compartments to keep everything organized. I use this when surf fishing or using a boat inshore.
Fantastic recommendations, but I also recommend a clip on knife on your vest. Especially for kayak fishing. You never know, if you are capsized you could be tangled in fishing line, or one of your equipment lines.
That was an awesome video. Very informative. I’m very analytical and like to keep things to a minimum, so this was great info for me. I’m moving back to the coast and have never fished inshore as an adult so this helps me form a solid plan.
Agreed! After over fifty years of fishing for everything from tiny mountain stream trout to giant tuna & shark, I still tend to bring way *too much, “just in case”. I’m going to try and take this advice to heart.
Good list. Here are a few more items that can make your yak fishing adventure a little more enjoyable: drift sock, wading boots for when you need to stretch your legs or the wind is beating you up. I’ll often slide out of the yak and wade fish if possible. 550 cord, handy for the drift sock and wading. Super glue, works wonderfully on line cuts to your hand/fingers and the inevitable pin fish trauma. Zip lock bags for phone, wallet etc. also nice to keep lens cleaning cloth and TP dry. Small anchor or spike. I prefer anchor. Food, will burn through calories yak fishing all day. Fishing gloves. Cutters for hooks, might wish you had a pair when you have a slot red on one end of you poppa dawg and your thigh on the other ( happened to me). Simple first aid kit. And last but certainly not least….Fish Bites!! Cut the strips in 1/4 “ wide pieces and keep them in a small pill bottle in your shirt pocket. These are a must to tip any soft plastic under a poppin cork. The increase in quality hits is significant. And the $7 bag will last a very long time.
Hey Forgot the ducktape. Can be used in a variety of applications and it better than a bandaid if you cut yourself been using that for years. So Far So Good...lol Keep up the great work and videos much appreciated! Tight Lines and Screaming Drags
Just FYI for the viewers; an inflatable PFD must be worn when on the water to count as the required “one per passenger”. If it’s the only one you have and you just stick it in your milk crate, you can (and, eventually, will) be ticketed.
I had to find out why an inflatable has to be worn. Turns out, it’s because most of them will auto-inflate when wet- and they are (according to my source, a FWC officer), they are next-to-impossible to put on AFTER they’re inflated… and in an emergency, they will likely get wet before you think to get them.
super video..i always take way more than i need ....i now will cut that in half..great ideals .. always learning..you folks are the best learning organization ever ..thank you so much..🙏👍
Waterproof backpack, just recently started my reteach myself everything fishing, will be looking into a waterproof back for sure, going to NZ with the potential for fishing at various locations, the fishing gear is already in NZ waiting at families place :) nope not a kiwi but it fishes don't know the difference between ozzie, kiwi, yank or pom :) looking at catch and cook for the wife's family!

All it comes down to it repetitive lessons about whatever the subject is. Been many years since we have both been fishing 👍
There's one kind of lure that i missed in your tacklebox, and that are the Poppers. Don't underestimate them, cause they can be really effective lures.
Justin, do the plastics you have mentioned here do okay placed in the same box? I know zmans do not mix well with other plastics. Not sure about the power prawns.
My favorite salt water lure setup would be a penn battle 3 4000 with a 7 to 7 foot 6 medium fast bully bay rod or saint Croix rod with a green back colored mirrodine.

Hey bro, please share that stuffs the baits you are using for that trip and how can i have that baits set. Thanks and amazing video sharing. God bless.
Do you have problems with rust of hooks pre loaded? Do "Treated" boxes that advertise rust inhibitors interfere with "Scent" or Dr Juice? Less is more. I like what Pat did using one lure until he masters the art. So far my power prawns are well liked by puffers and pins.

I out all my Salt Strong paddle tails in the same bag together. Same with the bomber size and flukes. So I have 3 bags instead of 6 or 8. Your plastics don't melt together and the colors are stable so I don't see a reason to carry extra bags, especially in my kayak.

Store zman lures separately from other lures... to be safe, we recommend storing all lures only with other lures from the same material (when in doubt, store separately).
Tired of hearing how clear fluorocarbon is. It's not THAT much more invisible. It's real value lies in it's non-stretchyness, and that it doesn't float like mono. The disadvantage being it will turn into a curly-Q if you wrap and pull tight to cinch down a knot and turn your bait into a helicopter - which kind of negates a slight visibility advantage.
@@jeanks2271 Agreed. I was using the Frabill Floating Trout Net (new for 2021). I believe this has a coated Micromesh (soft plastic) netting, so it's much safer for delicate species.
Next time maybe skip all the non fishing stuff and stick to the gear. Found myself skipping through your suntan lotion/live vest soapbox…then clicked off the video bc I was annoyed we haven’t talked about fishing gear yet.

Not true in every state, in MD you just have to have a vest for every person on board they DO NOT need to wear it at all times
@@JewportMenthols Re-check the regs. Inflatable PFDs have different rules. Typically, they have to be worn to count.

I like the lure keeper your using what name is it thank you for your tme
Great video. Thanks!
I’d also highlight a headlight that has a strobe capability/switch for warning visibility
Good idea John! Definitely an important feature when you do get on the water.
What hook did you use to replace the trebles?
Short and sweet--NICE black drum!
Justin, do the plastics you have mentioned here do okay placed in the same box? I know zmans do not mix well with other plastics. Not sure about the power prawns.
Yes, they've been perfectly fine, as long as I store the Z-Man (TPE Material) Plastics separate from traditional PVC Plastic Lures.

What's the difference in 20# line and 20# leader?
I always carry a little spray bottle with 70% alcohol when out fishing, very useful for disinfecting a wound or cleaning an oily substance.
I like that, good idea! I bet that hurts like the Dickens, but it's a way better option than getting an Infection!

Missing the procure
Or the Dr. Juice! That stuff is LEGIT! I need to pick up another bottle, I'm fresh out.
Yep I swear by the procure gel when fishing soft plastics. I also use spike it from time to time add scent and color contrast to my baits.
How do you keep the Z Man lures from melting with the other lures?
Store zman lures separately from other lures... to be safe, we recommend storing all lures only with other lures from the same material (when in doubt, store separately).
No Krusty Krab lures???
🌴. Ahhhh,but I fly fish !
Good luck out there! What's your favorite fly for inshore?
I've had a bunch of them over the years. They last forever.🤔
They do!
Add a knife to that kit, and you're all set.
For sure, good idea.
