Fishing!

Hi all! I plan to use my Bronco (OBX, 2.7L, Sasquatch, Lux, Tow, Aux) primarily as a daily driver. Other than boating, our primary family activity is fishing, requiring transporting fishing rods / gear several times per week to our boat docked nearby, and for surf fishing, during the season. While waiting for my build date, I thought it would be fun to obsess over accessories to configure the Bronco for fishing.

I don’t really like the idea of hauling rods on the hood or on a front bumper hitch (as it would obscure the view while driving), and would prefer the Yakima roof rack with roof top fishing rod mount. Alternatively, I would consider a trailer hitch rod holder.

I also like the Rigid mirror and roof mounted light kits to help transport gear from the Bronco to the beach for surf fishing at night.

Anything else?

I would appreciate any feedback and recommendations.

I have the Yakima Reel Deal, found here:

I got it a few months ago, and I don't know how I lived life without it.

I really like the RoadShower... (I think Yakima owns the brand now)

While I think it could really be an accessory for any outdoor activity, I think this especially useful near sandy areas. Could also be useful if you clean the fish on site.

Yep, Yakima picked up the Road Shower. There are some other, less expensive but similar, products on the market now. Or you can build your own!

Welcome aboard to BN!

I too plan on using my Bronc to get out to the beach for fishing. I frequent the Carolina coast for surf fishing and love hitting the beaches in the OBX. The Yakima rack looks cools that Aces shared and definitely will need some aux lighting for driving on the beach at night. I was eyeing the tailgate fold out table as well in the accessories catalog.
