Best Fishing Gadget ?

A David Fritts lure knocker - a weighted lure retriever you tie onto any length of string. I attach mine to a mason's string and have used it up to 30 feet deep.

(We also have a porta-potty under the cuddy cushions but too much bother to clean compared to dumping the 5-er when we get back to the cleanout station.)
Anonymouse does NOT poop where he eats.
(And lied about not keeping any, just in case those Aliens DO show up.)

Since I first saw this thread a few days ago, I’ve been thinking. Besides many obvious items that have been mentioned, there are a lot of things that have improved fishing over these last many years. I pilot, spot lock, cruise control, troll control on the big outboard, gunnel tracks, just to name a few.

It's nice to grow old together and still stay in sync, even if not QUITE as much fun. Trade-offs, one supposes, good for not so good.
