 Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2014 12:23 pm Post subject: PINS Camping Trip Must-Haves |
 |
|
| Hey guys, I'm an avid saltwater fisherman new to Texas (North Dallas). Me and three friends are planning a 4-night camping/fishing trip to PINS in early October. I've already spent hours upon hours planning and preparing but I would like to hear your opinions as to what are some things that you could not live without on a PINS camping trip, particularly in early October. We'll be fishing from shore, kayak and in the Laguna madre for anything and everything, including sharks. Any ideas? |

How far down PINS? That makes a big difference.

get a cheap 1gal pump garden sprayer...
save your beer boxes for a mat...
heat water... you have a pot and camp stove, right?
fill sprayer
wet down.
lather
rinse.
sleep well.
a person can have a nice clean shower w 1/2 gal water
in a pump sprayer.
or just leave the water container in the sun all day..
still plenty warm on Oct for a good bath.
way better sleeping when clean...
and baby powder everywhere until its overload...

Baby powder and extra water. Freeze water bottles and gallon jugs a couple days prior. It's been the best thing I've tried as far as keeping ice

I do this for my bait and fish ice chest and reuse/replace them as needed. Way cheaper than buying ice each time.
I freeze half of the drinking water that I take and put it in the bottom of the food ice chest load the food and top with bagged ice. It works for us and you always have some cold water. I also use pillow cases filled with sand instead of stakes for a tent and shade canopy. Works great and is cheap. Cactus burner to start camp fires.

Haven't tried this yet but my buddy swears by the "water-birth" method. |

Crown Royal, extra set of tires, electric air pump, rods, lots of ice, tent, cast net, air tank (O2), bait, tackle box, extra gas, bug spray, baby powder, food, sleeping bag, zip lock bags, TP, Ohhh yea and an extra bottle of Crown Royal !!!!
Lots more, but those are a few "Must haves" for me.

WD-40 also takes the tar off. Run over to lowes and buy the plastic shoe box containers to freeze blocks in. They are perfect. Duct tape and zip ties are always useful along with the previously mentioned items. Crown is a must if you are getting the jitters before paddling a bait out at midnight 
Have fun and be safe. |
