I believe state law in Michigan requires you to carry an anchor, it's a good idea anyways if you lose all power so you don't drift into shore/wall/rocks.
I have a lot of crap in the boat: anchor, 2 or 3 extra ropes, extra PFDs, throwable w/rope PFD, jumper cables, tool kit, multi tools, spare props for TM and OB, change of clothes incl. shoes, extra raingear, spare hat, distress flag, towels, short 2x4 for blocking prop, sunscreen, documents, and some other stuff. Only thing I need still is a flare gun.
From shore: Pliers, a small bag of lures, handheld GPS, one bag of assorted hooks, a few bags of plastics, two rods/reels, and that's about it. I like to travel light.

When I'm out on the boat Its usually for the entire day so I'll pack a sandwich or two or just something to keep from getting hungry.

I didn't list the anchor and stuff like that, LOL! I even have a paddle (In Texas, any boat over 16' must have a paddle, Doh! I can't imagine paddling a 20' bassboat!). I got two rainsuits, first aid kit, throw cushion and 50' of rope attached to it. Gosh almighty! no wonder my whole shot ain't quick as some other folks!

I forgot all that stuff, but I have it too. Paddle, extinguisher, fuses, pop and water, marine radio, etc. I like to go out for 8-12 hours sometimes and on bigger water so you need to have all that stuff. I'd rather my boat be slower from all the extra weight than not have something with me, especially safety wise.
I don't have one of those ACR GPS beacons either, probably not a bad idea if you are running across Lake Erie though.
Are there pirates up there PNJ? What's up with the 9mm? I know a lot of people do carry in their boats.

With time to think about it, it is quite ignorant of me to carry it.I would never pull it unless I was going to pull the trigger so I might as well leave it home.I never thought about why I carried it, no reason is the answer.I was born with weapons attached to my torso,I don't need no gun. P N J

Since I fish out of any of a number of rowboats on the NYC reservoir system, everything must be carried to and back again from the boat. And the walk to the boats isn't always easy nor short. But depending on who I'm fishing with, we always have these items with us:
Carried in Milk crate 1: pliers, screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver. In a Ziplock bag are a Spare oar lock, two spare nuts/ lock washers/ and nylon lock nuts, Electrical tape, & Marine 2 part epoxy. Water proof flashlight. Complete 1st aid kit, SPF50 suntan lotion, digital camera in water proof bag, bag for wallet, Cell phone is used all day for communications with other boaters, 24 inch drift sock, Aussie Sun hat, thermos for hot or cold drinks. battery power speaker for my MP3 player. Hooked on the side is my bag with Columbia rain gear.
15 lb anchor of the type needed for either a rocky or weedy reservoir.
Thermos lunch box.
Attached to the top of the milk crate via bungie cord are my topedo tubes. They're home made rod holders with clamps to keep 6 setups out of the boat, yet secure. Also 2 more setups can rest on the clamps if need be.

I'm almost blind without my glasses, so I keep my spare set in a compartment in my tackle bag with my custom clip on sunglasses.

BTW, my phone has the numbers for DEP, DEC, the Local Police, besides 911.

Ad 6 or 7 setups, a huge tackle bag that holds 6 boxes plus a box full of terminal tackle, a set of oars, and you can just imagine how much stuff I tote back and forth.

Here's a picture of what one torpedo tube looks like. I use two of them. They work great.

I am with you on this one Joel. For just about all of my fishing, the gear has to be carried in. Most of the resevoirs around here won't allow private boats in. Even if they do, my "boat" is a fiberglass 2 person that is carried to the water because it fits in the bed of my truck.

One thing I changed to last year was to purchase one of the pay as you go phones. I think I got it for about $20 from wal-mart. It holds two advantages for me. the fist being that I don't have to wrry about losing my phone out at the lake and the 2nd being that only my wife and a couple of fishing buddies have that number. There are not too many people that I really want to have call me while I am fishing.

I like the tube idea. I had added tubes to the milk crate that I carry to a couple of the lakes, but they still take up in the boat space.

Wow I thought I had everything in my boat but man was I wrong!
At this point I carry a basic tool kit, 2 sets of extra plugs, a anchor, the good ol charmin, extra prop, 100 ft of roap, two paddles, fire extinguisher, two-way radio with 35 mile radius, and at least 2 gallons of extra gas. I am sure there is more just cant think of it right now!

I've always got a pair of split ring pliers, line clippers (finger nail clippers), braided line scissors (not so much any more), Browning longnose pliers w/ line cutters (work great for braid), lip grip (especially if we're fishing in Pike or Musky territory). And that's about it. I think.

One thing we should carry on the boat, but normally don't is a tool kit.

Most may not play golf and if you do you may not have a ball retriever in your bag, but it can be a aid in getting baits unhung. You can get them in 10' to 15' or so lengths that is retractable that you can place it in your rod locker. It will reach down there and knock the hooks loose.

Well if some one sees you using it just tell them your are trying to find your shank you hit from the bank. :-)

I have a war eagle spinning bait hung on one of the big stumps I pushed in my pond that I will get it off with the ball retriever tomorrow after I get back from duck hunting in Bayou Meto near Stuttgart.

The ball retriever may be more handy then you think. Then this could just be a laugher to you.

I feel the same..Feel lost in somebody elses boat.
