Nice job. Where did you get the landing net? I made my cart out of a laydown hand truck which I put a piece of plywood on. Didn't get it completed as we started going to the Skyway. Later, Painter

the pier net i got from the bait shop in Sebastian inlet they sell them for 35.00 , but i had to do a little modification to it it comes with a 1/4 " rope and when you have the big fish in there its kinda hard to pull up so i had an old cast net that i used the rope off of it and the ring in the middle kept sliding to one side and had to retie the knots that keep it in one place .

Good lookin' cart...I've built several over the years, but this one looks like it would be really durable. I wonder if a steel bar could be attached to the bottom from the side that would slide into a hitch receiver. In any event, good job. Maybe we should have a permanent section on the board for gear photos, plans and ideas. I would still like to see the latest photos of the rod holders someone designed a few weeks ago. Jim

Nice job on the rodholder. I made some with a long vertical and the Y at the top, use bungy to hold it in place but like yours better. Painter

lol yeah i figured you'd be fishing sebastian inlet if you have that many poles a cooler, and a landing net with chairs. thats a good 1/4 miles hike and to carry all that it'll be a back sore by the time you load the cart itself let alone trying to carry half that.
nice cart and tight lines.

I have the same wagon in green. Mine is rigged with rod holders on both sides. It is great for Sebastian. I pull it up against the railing if I bottom fishing and it acts as my rod holder for the jetty.

I bought the same exact yellow cart (which has removable sides all the way around by the way) at Big Lots awhile back for $40.00. Yes......... thats $40.00 US Dollars!! :-) Got it rigged to hold up to 8 rods with all my tackle, coolers, chairs etc.... The thing with Big Lots though is that if you don't get it when the have it you might lose out. Its that time of year again though so check them out!
Tight Lines!!!
