Recently retired. Fish from a 10' jon boat, occasionally use a Minn Kota 34 lb thrust motor if the body of water is too big for comfortable rowing ...more or am fishing a river/stream with a reasonably strong current or length. Usually bring two rods -- spinner for lures 1/2 oz or less and bait caster for lures over 1/2 oz. I bring a large tackle box with a top compartment for misc. items such as pliers, jars of pork rinds, extra mono, etc. below the top compartment is a three slot area for plastic trays of lures and plastics. Additionally, I bring a canvas shopping bag with three more plastic lure trays.
