Has anyone removed this big bench seat on the shappells? Any issues you can thing of? I feel like it would organize easier without it. Also anyone have any tricks for permanent mounts and guards that allow setting the heater behind them with a flip over?
When I run and gun or hole hop its just me, my showdown flasher that has 2 rod mounts on the side of the case, a t-reign on my side picket holding an ice scoop, two boxes of jigs in my chest pockets and bait pucks in hip pockets. Milwaukee and Nils. I keep it real basic.
When the hub comes out I have a tall milk crate that has a short second level and a lid that I set my flasher on and store the minnow bucket and some cooking stuff in. Heater is in its bag with spare tanks. 2 small folding camp chairs, And 6-7gal bucket has tools, floats, rubber presentations, maybe a few jawjackers all the rods are mounted on the back of the smitty sled.
I only take what I need, Im pretty bare bones with what I have along with me. I like it to be easy set up/tear down and organized and I keep sitting here looking at the small amount of gear I take just not being happy with the amount of work it takes to set up before I can be comfortably fishing.
