The Fishing Cart!
Hey all
with the talk on here about fishing carts and bulk rubbish in the suburb,, i decided to make one!
found the perfect buggy frame, perfect for what i was looking for!
found 2 16inch bikes and took off the front wheels. removed the buggy wheels and put the bike wheels on after adjusting the axel slightly, perfect fit!!
one crate for the 22L esky and another crate with the reels (in a tub), burley,rodholders,lights.... on top goes the gaff and 2 rod tubes...
then x2 elastic straps to support the 2 crates and x1 strap to go over the esky and secure it nice and neat.
and if i need another crate i have made a support beam that will let me have another crate!
took around 4 days to make and put all the gear together...its pretty heavy but is the easiest thing to push on the beach even up sand dunes for a bit of limit test and it worked great!
and the great thing is it carries everything i need from; whiting,herring,tailor,skippy,bream to sharks, stingrays,mulloway, pinkys and much more!
Cheers all
PS. all the gear packs nicely into the cupboard after cleaning and the buggy folds down into the shed after rinsing.
and the burley bucket is home made

faulkner, that is exactly what im planning on doing, searching for a small pram with wheels and well saw the leg off and either weld or cable tie :)
also looking for a scooter handlebars, seat goes through them and the long pole will be either screw mounted or somehow onto the golfbuggy handle...

looks great mate,
just a thought for the beach, would the big fat plastic golf buggy type wheels go easier on the beach?
i suppose then, not so good on the footpath hey?
either way looks the go, just need to hook up to the pushy!!

Perfect
Everyone is entitled to make a mistake, heck I even make lots without trying, so no one is perfect.
Couldn't resist it though.
