Bank fishing is like anything else: You can make it simple or you can make it complicated.
Here’s a commonsense list of things you’ll want to consider taking on a simple family bank-fishing outing:
• Rods or poles of your choice
• Simple tackle box with extra hooks, line, small sinkers and corks
• A pocket knife or clippers
• A cricket box and a box of red worms
• Chairs for everyone
• A small ice chest with plenty of cold beverages
• Snacks/treats
• Suntan lotion
• Bug spray
• A towel or disposable hand wipes
• A small garbage bag for trash
• A game, toys, books or activity to keep the kids happy if the fish don’t bite
• Your cell phone (pictures of the trip will be great memories).
