Anyone done it? I have an old abandoned one I found near the pier today and I am trying to figure out how best to do this.

Nope this is gonna be "Googan/Ghetto Fabulous". I'm thinking about spraypainting it gold and hanging some fuzzy dice from the handles.

Well dude if you need to do some welding on your contraption I have a welding machine and the cutting tools that you would need to make modifications, if you like. Just let me know.

you could add some spinners for the tires.....wire tie an umbrella and tape an old radio to the inside.

It's mostly plastic, which is disappointing because I wanted to try welding. I guess I can weld some spinning rims on it.

There was one on the pier.... when I was there....had rod holders on the side....I did see it in the back of a truck when leaving one night....that will take a truck to haul around, not sure what you drive....just something to think about.

I had one almost 40yrs ago that I used on the "old" pier. Uncle and I built it. I thought it was the cat's meow back then but it was heavy, clumsy and very hard to transport.
Haven't "pier fished" since the late 70s other than ours on sound side of DI but I've got a flat bed "cart" that I'm going to "engineer" into some sort of pier cart and make at least a few trips over to GS... I've never even been on the new pier.... in fact I haven't been to GS in 15yrs or so.
Too much water right here to fish.... but I'm getting that "itch". |

I have a truck, so no worries about transporting.
