I took this janitorial cart that HEB was about to throw away. I wasn't about to let that happen. I took this beat up piece of junk and gave it done well needed TLC. I of course had to convert this in to my own fishing cart for the piers. As we all know, carrying so much equipment on and off the pier can be a pain! I've taken this baby on many trips now and has not let me down. Here's some pictures if before and after. I also made this net out of PVC to accommodate for my old broken net. Any feedback is welcomed. Enjoy.

Looks extremely functional. Like the way you think outside the cart.

Good way to make use of some thing HEB is throwing away. I like the fish net.

Hmmm, just wondering about the net... What if you need it to sink some to get under the fish, won't it just float? Just thinking which can be dangerous sometimes, for me anyway. Looks good though!

Very very true about the weight of the net. I drilled holes to take on water for the moment but I also left one corner UN cemented so I can add weight at a later time. Awesome feedback! Thanks for looking everyone!

Dude, thats pretty awesome.
Here is an idea
- for the open area up top where you push it: if there is a lip all the way around the open ara, you could set a plank of plywood in there thats cut perfectly to fit right in there. That could serve as a cutting board, or, in the ply-wood you cut a circular hole that a 5 gallon baitbucket could slide right into. That way the other levels are free to put tackle boxes, coolers, etc.

Never thought about that. I've been using a styrofoam cooler from Walmart that fits perfectly in that area.

Sand in the net tubes would make it sink, be REALLY cheap, and not too heavy.

Nice job! Cool
