I was out chucking during the last blue moon. Under the bright night, I noticed the various methods anglers employed to transport their chunking gear to and from their hot spots. One angler dragged his gear in a plastic snow sled that only hand a short cord tided on one end; the thing kept tipping over because it was not balanced. One angler carried a sand spike, two rods, bait, and only Poseidon knows that else, in his hands, under his arms, and hanging off his back.
When I go chunking, I fish remote locations and I move based on tide emerging structure. To do so effectively, I travel smart using my “BUV” (“Beach Utility Vehicle”).
To build your own BUV, all you need is:
- 1 milk create
- 2 sand spikes (or 1.5” PVC pipes)
- 2 Wheels
- 1 Aluminum Axle
- A collapsing or removable handle
- Stainless steel screws, nuts, washers, clamps, and bolts, and clamps to secure everything.
This is my BUV. With a few recycled parts and some creativity, you can build your own BUV and save your back for winching in the COWs! 😉
