1 or 2 fish securing clips or stringers.

Gunny sack or towel to wet and keep your fish cool.

Big bin, ice chest, or huge trash bag to hold your catch for the drive home. I have a small wagon so this is important.

Some folks like to bring a garden sprayer to give gear a fresh water or salt cutting rinse. I bring a household sized spray bottle on trips to mexico when I'm days and miles away from a hose. I can't afford to buy my gear twice.

It depends on the season but a paddleing jacket, light polar fleese, and beenie can really save a trip.

I always have a large ice chest in the truck for the catch that I may bring home. I need to get an actual game clip, the one I made works, but I'm not sure if it will hold up if I get anything of real size.

Don't forget a net.
It's actually in the regulations (Page 46 28.65.d)
DFG officer was cool enough not to ticket me a while back but I never go out without one now.
