Son and I went fishing today, dead shrimp on bottom, in the Texas surf down the coast a bit from Galveston. I got there late or would have fished live shrimp under a cork. I caught a keeper red, son caught a whiting nearly as big. The people around us were limiting out. Unfortunately, the place from which we were casting was a good 200 yards out from the beach where the bait and ice chest were. We spent most of our time going back and forth between fishing and the stuff. I need recommendations on some kind of floating platform I can tie to me so I can take the shore stuff out with me. (Note: some people had a stringer float attached to themselves. There are sharks being caught today and tying a stringer of fish to me feels like trolling for sharks.) In any case, feedback or suggestions are appreciated.

I hear what you’re saying, but where i live and fish that little floating platform on a leash would be a hassle. I would suggest looking into a cooler backpack with cargo pockets and make it a fishing bag, or just a small folding hand truck with the cooler you got. Now that I think about it, they make some dolly adapters for coolers. I use a Shiti Bucket when in fishing in the woods near my house. It’s not good all day, but good enough for long enough.
