Any one use a beach cart?

Lol, we'll I'm stoked to see it! I have a few spots where I wish I gad that. The Bantha is great in theory, but has its fallbacks. The cart is definitely a plus for the open beaches!

As is it weighs 25 lbs and it rolls like nothing. No big deal to haul it out of a truck, load it, and hit the sand. In a lousy spot, rods go in the holders, sand spikes in the other open holders and ease on down the beach.

Especially TP to head down to table rock and other southern stuff this is why I got it. Not to mention if I land a keeper I don't want to have to end the trip. Fish onto ice, bait back in the water.

Mike lugging 2 rods, 2 spikes, tackle bag and ice chest is a bear for any distance.

It is my wife's birthday week so no trips out for a bit. I'll let you know when I 'm going someplace Tom If you want to check it out.

test full load after the liner came in........

All the vertical stuff lays in the truck bed and all the contents sit in the cart. Keep chest, bait chest, tackle backpack, water jug, and space for more stuff.

Yep I put headlights to save on headlamp battery when walking and lighting catches for pics.

I agree!  It looks great and to have everything right next to you and handy at a moments notice is awesome.

Looks pretty big to lug around. Just mount a motor and a tranny and drive it to the beach. Put pegs in the back for Binh to ride on then you guys can hit the carpool lane

Beach cart update....

So far this has been fine. Steve made a comment about how to handle stairs so last Friday I took it in front of the house to try and figure out something to get up and down the various beach stairs.

I was trying to have a rope go to the rear and when hitting a step grab it and soften the landing. Well what that dis was put undue stress on the handle essentially shoving it back with enough force to lift the cart.

Well sure enough it was not designed for something like that and the handle bent back and cracked.  Doh! So kicking myself for not thinking hard enough I splinted it for the Saturday trip and ordered a new handle.

Made mention to the maker that the cart has a achilles heel for SoCal surf fisherman if it can't cope with stairs.

My thought is to use skateboard decks to make "skis" for 1 to 3 tires so that it can slide on stairs.

Ideas?

I'm not sure I could make it back up if I had to take all that gear too.

Good luck with your project.
