By far, my favorite Summertime activity is fishing. There is nothing more exciting than hooking into a good fish, fighting to get it onto dry land, and then either releasing it back or bringing it in to feed your family.
In fact, I have been this way for well over 20 years now when I first developed my love for fishing in Okeechobee, Florida. I was a young boy back in my Okeechobee days…But I can’t help to think that this is where my desire to be more self-reliant came from. I was always so thrilled to contribute to my family’s meals with fish that I had caught. And it is the same now that I have a family of my own.
Equipment for Fishing
In this post, I wanted to highlight a recent video that I made during a family fishing trip and show you my simple equipment for fishing (embedded below). The fishing kit that I use is extremely minimal, it isn’t super expensive, and most importantly it is effective in helping me catch fish.
Gear for Fishing
Below is a quick list of where you can find all of the gear from the video above (in the order of its appearance). Just add some live bait (red worms and meal worms work great in my area) and you’re good to go!
- My Favorite Fishing Gear on Amazon (hooks, fishing line, and more)
- Blue Ridge Overland Gear “Bum Bag”
- Rechargeable Headlamp with Red Light
- Best Shockcord
- Lightweight Fishing Rod
- Fishing Reel (great budget option)
- Leatherman Wave Plus Multitool (my favorite tool when fishing)
- Wazoo EDC Gear
- Liquid IV (a must-have for avoiding dehydration)
Can’t Get Enough Fishing?
…I know the feeling, I can’t get enough fishing either! Click the link below to watch my latest Bank Fishing Tips video and read that full article. It was a fun one!
I hope this quick fishing gear list and video were helpful. Now, I encourage you to get outside and discover this incredible hobby and self-reliant skill for yourself.
Panfish Rod and Reel Combo
I love shopping at Bass Pro Shops…In fact, I typically stop in our local Cabelas/Bass Pro the night before a big fishing trip to pick up some items to try the following day. It’s always a fun time! With that said, I’m happy to include a link to their fishing category here within my article. If you purchase anything by clicking the banner link above I will receive a small commission (at no extra cost to you) which helps to support content just like this.
