Just thought i,d post a pick of my little shoulder bag that i use when i go dropshot fishing. Its perfect for the small amount of gear i take and holds everything i need for a few hours fishing. Ok so it won,t take my digital camera but it can take a bottle of water, scales, weigh sling, lures, weights, line etc with ease.

I hid under a road bridge while it chucked it down, and had a few casts but didn't have any knocks. It didn't surprise me though as the water was gin clear. Fishing appetite whetted I drove home through the heavy rain.... Urban fishing...

With just rod, net and bag i strolled along the river to a marina area that i know always holds perch as i thought t
