Beach Cart




Today is not a good surf fishing day in Indialantic. The good conditions of the last couple of day are gone thanks to a strong northeast wind. I talked with a fisherman this morning on his way back from the beach who made the beach fishing cart pictured above. He told me that he was throwing 8 ounces of lead and he still could not effectively hold bottom. Needless to say, he caught nothing for the table.

He did, however, say that the cart works great. The over sized plastic wheels and the long handle bars make it easy to move the cart up or down the sandy beach. There are tubes to hold 4 surf rods in addition to a holder for a sand flea rake. Also, notice the ability to carry 4 big sand spikes plus space for a cooler in which to hold your day’s catch. The basket provides space for any extra clothing or gear that you might want to take. Finally, the weight is minimal because of the types of plastic used in the construction.

I have seen other beach fishing carts, but this one designed and built by the owner is the best one I have seen. It is definitely for the dedicated surf fisherman!
