What about for this trip?
After my first pier fishing trip I thought there had to be a better way to do this and that lead me to the Fishn Mate cart carrier .
It goes into your recever hitch and you Cart rides on it , so now you can put the cooler and 5gl bucket and anything else on the cart strap it down or bungee it and I use cable locks too . Wife loves all the space inside for her stuff , their website shows them at 149.00 sometimes you see them used on ebay , Creags List etc. Money well spent
Thanks Jollyman! I will look into it.
First trip was 4/18. Next trip 10/18.Quote:

My cart cooler and buckets go on the carrier
I made out of stainless many years ago, fit the Jr cart perfect....the Sr cart needed some extra for the one tire....bazooka tube fits all the rods ( on top if the bride comes) but fits inside the last few solo trips with room to lay down to rest if needed (explorer)
Rick from mobile had one of the fish n mate carriers for sale last fall, but think it was for a Sr cart....he went to a Jr.....not sure it makes a difference??
Next trip?? Did you add one in September?Quote:

I got one of those motorized scooter hitches from a older fellow that got tired of lifting it to his receiver . $1600 piece of equipment for $100, met him at a gas station near Loxley and he was from Jackson. Picked it up after we got home and it's been in service ever since.. Takes my wife, her thighs, and my scrawny arms to get it on the pathfinder but it is solid once attached. It also folds vertically(when unloaded) to get in tight parking areas.
If you eliminate the wife and kids, you will have a little more room for fishing gear :) jk...
Coming down solo 9/17-9-24. Bringing better half 10/21-10/28.Quote:

the beach stuff is stored in it year round , He said it was the only way he could keep the Jeep after the 2nd kid . My wife came out of the gas station saw it and me talking to him and the first works she said when we got in the truck was "No your not getting one "
Most condo rentals don't allow trailer parking.Quote:
