Carrying extra gear to the beach????

Just to over think things. Who carries extra gear with them on the beach for early morning or night time outing? What do you carry and what do you carry it all in? 

I always seem to take too much but I do also usually fish a least 3/4 of mile or so away from the car. I take a smallish daypack and leave it on the beach somewhere behind where I'm fishing. 

 

I carry a beat up canvas day pack, probably 30 liters in size

FAK

Heavy duty diagonal wire cutter (For cutting a hook if needed) 

2 - 20oz bottles of fresh water (one for drinking one for douse a reel if needed 

Extra hoodie sweatshirt 

Small towel 

Small 16oz thermos w/ some type of energy bar thingy 

Seat pad - A piece of foam 12 x 17 

A couple plastic garbage / contractor bags 

Hockey tape 

Extra flashlight 

Zip lock w/ a couple extra doodads 

Short sand spike 

 

And you all?

I don’t carry extra stuff. My plug bag is heavy enough as it is. If I feel I need to bring anything else it stays in my truck, and I walk my a$$ back if I need anything which I rarely do. If i’m cold, so be it, if my flashlight dies, so be it, if i’m thirsty so be it. I’m a man, I deal with it.

I've mentioned this before, learn the areas you frequently fish  and bring the lure that works best there. I'm now down to a 2 tube Mak Bag, I dress appropriatley. When you begin  to fish the tides you will no longer be fishing for more than 3hrs. at a time, in the fall here in the Northeast it can be an all day thing due to the migration but as I said before learn your area and you will know what to bring and what not to bring.
