1 - different strokes for different folks (your mileage may very for every comment made) but the # item is a great life jacket aka PFD and a good paddle.

2 - what are you planning to target and where are you going to fish? You may not need a bait tank if you're going to chuck plastics all day in the bay or fresh water.

You could start by searching the many other threads with people asking the very same question on what they need to start out with. But Nic D pretty much nailed it.

I myself am a minimalist, I usually don't plan on bringing all of my stuff just so everyone can see how much fishing gear I have..... You people know who you are...

Best advice I could give you is make a checklist, cap it at maybe 10 items. See what you can or can't live without. I prep the night before because I tend to forget necessities if I get my things together in the morning. Go somewhere calm and bring your bass gear, or whatever your comfortable with. Before you know it your rig will look wrong if you are missing a piece of gear you normally take out because of the repetition. Good luck and hope to see you out there.

Regards,

J
