How many

[Redneck Dek]

Of you carry a first aid kit when fishing?
Lots of sharp things like knives,hooks,rocks and all other manner of other things.
I keep one in the big bag,one in the daysack and a small one man in my coat.
Luckily I’ve only needed what you can fix with a bit of insulation tape.
Anyone else carry one?

 

[Thrasher]

Not a first aid kit, but a selection of plasters and the fabric tape in a wee ziplock bag, normally have a roll of insulating tape as back up.

 

[John Mitchell]

I always have plasters in all of my tackle bags and boxs

 

[Valleyboy]

Insulating tape and superglue and long nose pliers

 

[Dutchman]

Not when shore fishing.
I did have one when i had boat though.

 

[Eddie t]

Might have a few plasters with tape and thats about it....

 

[Cfish]

Got one on the boat.

 

[Timbc2]

No but I have thought about it before and there's been times when I could have done with one but I've not got around to sorting one. So I'm glad you have brought this up. A good little job for lock down while I can't fish

 

[Shirleycodlin]

Yes, always carry one.

 

[Trampster]

I never have carried anything but I ought to. I went back to a rock mark a couple years ago on a low spring tide looking for a lure I had lost the day before. Found the lure but slipped over on the rocks in shorts, and badly grazed my leg from ankle to knee. Because I'm on blood thinning meds, it was bleeding like a stuck pig. I managed to get back to the car where I had a large roll of kitchen paper so cleaned it up. Thinking it through though, since I wasn't actually fishing, if I had had First Aid gear in my fishing tackle, I wouldn't have been carrying it that day.

Good point, on boat yes, in car yes but should do on shore fishing sessions. I’m going to try better this year. ?

 

[Craig]

I always have one in my fishing backpack, wouldn't go without it, not needed it so far but you never know when you might.
It's the same as a lifejackets, it's better to have it and not need it that not have it and need it.

 

[Steviea]

I don't carry a first aid kit, but i should do. It wasn't that long ago that I had to shout over to @Andy 1965 to bring the Pliers and Plasters when a hook went through my finger.

Glad you raised this, it's reminded me to put a little pack together

 

[Radio Rental]

Gaffer tape...but i only take it when the wife comes with me...oops!! she`s just seen this???...Alan

 

[SteveT]

Insulating tape and superglue and long nose pliers

Good call on pliers there, better if they cut a hook too

 

[Where’s Wally]

Never had an injury fishing and certainly never carry anything in case of one.
Just dip your hand into the sea if you do!

 

[Cfish]

Always have insulation tape,bits of dirty snotrag and a knife in my pocket when shore fishing.

That’s me normally?

 

[Mr Fish]

Insulation tape, fixes everything short of needing a trip to the A&E ???

I've carried one on the boat ever since cuting my hand badly on a bait knife while 7 miles out to sea. Wrapped my hand in a dirty, fishy rag and dripped blood over the boat all the way home. PH
