    Wingnut's Surf Caddy Service... location of all SWAT spots included.

    If you do want your own caddy, either bring a friend and say they have to carry the gear because they're fishing your spot and using your gear. Or... have your dad carry it because you did literally everything else and that's the least he can do. Both of those work for me!

    The easiest thing when you do a solo trip is to leave your backpack and extra rod on the beach if you are wading. Just remember to turn around every few minutes to make sure nobody runs off with your gear.

    Thanks for the info, but it just seems to take more time to back track as opposed to just moving on down, or up, the beach.
    My pops is 71 and in better shape than me. He will leave me behind as he starts hiking off down the beach.. With my gear...

    My service is free of charge, but to hook fish and hand it off is extra!

    M.A. The 3rd Grip is great, I use one myself. That, along with a small chest or back pack is all you need for any surf assault. Good luck out there!

    I always just used a messenger bag to hold all my crap, I only took 1 rod though, carrying 2 rods around always bugged me.

    After spending a small fortune on surf fishing back packs with front packs,slings,vests and waist bags, ive come to figure out, a nice medium size camel backpack(taking the water bag out unless you want it) will hold a nice plano,that will hold various assault amo for the day such as luckys,plastics krocs,castmasters,ect..also i use the small front pocket to hold scents,extra spinning spool for dropshot and small camera tripod.
    What i use to hold my second rod is, on the side of the back pack theres a bottle holder with two straps spaced apart above it. Thats were i shoved a small diameter pvc pipe with a notch on it that holds and locks in the rod and it also keeps the reel up and away from the surf sandy water,and is easily reachable for the swap. I also use a 3 grip on my right side to hold my rod when rigging and it also of course holds pliers and lip gripper.
    Hope this helps some..
    Good luck! and fish on!
