Packing Your Bags Right and Loading Up the RV or Trailer

Fishing is the perfect time to go camping too and it might be the first time you have taken out the camper for Summer. Here is a simple checklist of some important aspects you should look over to have a great fishing and camping experience or stay at the lake for the day.

  • Check your RV Tires before taking off to the lake and fill up with air.
  • Make sure your RV service is up to date before you begin the summer season.
  • Bring a cooler to have some cold drinks and snacks. We love mid-afternoon grub.
  • Make sure you do not forget to put your fishing essentials in your tackle box! We recommend checking you have your preferred fishing line, bait, and hook ready.
  • If you are staying overnight prepare extra so you can have max comfort!
  • Blankets and coats are recommended especially for overnight fishing.
  • Although fishing is free this weekend you may have to purchase a discover pass or pay for camping accommodations. Research is essential!
