Fish are swift, deceptive, and can be down-right impossible to catch with your bare hands, especially when they are cooped up in your live-well. Anyone who has tried to snatch up that last frantic Sunfish, scurrying about like a greased pig in the hallway of a high school, can relate to what I’m talking about. Valiant efforts resulting in frustration seem to revolve around the duel with the live-well. Tournament anglers are no strangers to this endeavor either. Those swine bass don’t like coming out of the live-well, nor do those gruff walleyes. A long day spent on the water shouldn’t be spoiled by a headache when weigh-in rolls around. In golf, a caddy is your right-hand man and a person who is there to back you up in stressful situations. A caddy is a very important piece of the puzzle in a person’s golf game, and rightly so, but the name caddy doesn’t only pertain to golf, the fishing world is in on this secret too, and it goes by the name of “My Fish Caddy.”
The ability to easily transport the fish in your live-well, from one destination to another, is sometimes underestimated. The most complicated part about the fish in your live-well should be sorting them for a tournament or deciding how to cook them, not dreading for when the time comes that you have to take them out. Too many anglers hassle with this practice and for no reason. There are systems out there that allow you to do this will little or no effort, and My Fish Caddy is leading the pack.
Live-wells are outstanding inventions and have really changed the sport of fishing for the good. Tournament anglers can now release and inflict a lot less strain on the fish. Live-wells are also great for keeping fish fresh in the case where an angler decides to keep a few fish for dinner. However, if the situation arises where he or she decides not to keep the fish, they can return the fish to the water with minimal damage. Live-wells are tools designed to make an angler’s job easier. So, why make things more complicated by allowing something that’s meant to improve the sport, hinder it instead? “You no longer have to catch your fish twice.” That’s the motto that stands behind My Fish Caddy.
My Fish Caddy can also double as a bait-well strainer. No more hassle with trying to scoop out the remaining minnows. Instead, you just lift out the caddy and the dirty work is done. My Fish Caddy works overtime in the live-well too. Not only does it serve the purpose of gathering fish, but it also stops debris and coughed up particles from going into the drain of the live-well. My Fish Caddy doesn’t just make your job easier when accumulating your catch, but it protects your live-well from abuse and prevents unwanted setbacks.
My Fish Caddy is extremely durable. It’s constructed with a heavy-duty, 180 pound rubberized mesh bag. The handles of the bag are made with 1,000 pound webbing and can withstand just about anything an angler throws at them. The bag is designed to attach (by Velcro patches) to the inside of your live-well. All you need to do is drop the handles and place the caddy in your live- well and use the 4 black Velcro adhesives to secure the caddy. The 2 white Velcro pieces are used for closing the bag once it’s out of the live-well.
Water can run freely through the mesh allowing you to drain the water into the live-well without spilling drastic amounts onto the floor of your boat. Then you have all your fish without the added frustration, in one bag ready for transportation.
My Fish Caddy has a brother too. The new My Fish Caddy tournament bag is designed with the same toughness but will hold water. Now you can pull the fish out of your live-well with the original My Fish Caddy and dump them into your My Fish Caddy tournament bag. A system designed for serious anglers who demand a bag with a long life that can hold a lot of weight. It’ s a complete system for all the tournament anglers out there.
My Fish Caddy sizes are endless and most fishing boats can be equipped with them. All it takes is a few measurements and you’ re on your way to a more organized, stress free, quick and easy way to remove and transport fish from your live-well. Whether you’re out to catch a few fish for a meal, pair up two big fish for a picture, or battle for that tournament win, My Fish Caddy will be there as your right-hand man. Let’s put the fish chasing and aggravation in the past, your caddy it waiting!!
