DECORAH, IA (June 17, 2020) – For decades, the fishing industry advocated for experienced anglers to “Take a Kid Fishing” in efforts to ensure the future of the industry. Well, the tables turned in 2020, when COVID-19 led to the cancellation of spring and summer team sport seasons and many idle youth decided to explore fishing as a socially distanced outdoor activity. Now, kids, teens, and novices have been asking experienced anglers to take them fishing.

Experienced anglers know that pliers, extra hooks, line clippers, and fishing line should be in every tackle box. Polarized sunglasses and a hot tip from the local bait shop are a plus. Remember to take Grizzly Coolers along onshore fishing and boating trips to make it a fun and memorable experience! Add these items to your fishing trip gear list:

Grizzly Hard Sides Are Ideal Fishing Coolers

A compact Grizzly G20 20-quart cooler is ideal for carrying a few cans of soda or bottles of water, snacks, and sandwiches on the jon boat or bass boat. A dry goods tray helps separate items like bait from food. An embossed ruler on the lid helps measure your catch. A stainless-steel handle with foam grip provides another way to carry this compact Made-in-USA cooler. Non-slip, non-marking rubber feet will keep the cooler in place when looking for another fishing spot. The G20 ice chest is available in a variety of fun colors: White, Tan, Red, Orange, Sandstone, Lime, Pink, Gray, and Teal.  Suggested retail $199.99.

Lightweight, Cooler Bag

If you’re going to bike down to the lake or river for an afternoon of bank fishing, keep drinks and food cold in an easy to grab-and-go soft-sided Grizzly Drifter Cooler. Designed for lightweight convenience, the Drifter 12+ features two Grip Cup pockets on the exterior and an easy-zip flip-top lid providing access to a fully waterproof TPU lined central compartment. The EVA foam insulated lid and base and foam walls keep items cold all day. Padded handles and shoulder strap help make transporting this compact cooler even more comfortable. The compression-molded lid and base provide structure for easy packing while multiple pockets and a neoprene gear band add more storage options to the exterior of the cooler. A waterproof ballistic polyester shell holds up to the elements and is available in several colors including black/gunmetal, green/black/orange, moss/gray/cyan, Realtree® Edge™, Realtree® Timber™, and Realtree® Fishing™ Blue. Suggested retail is $99.99.

Carry a bottle of water for hydration and for removing fish or bait slime from hands before eating. Use a Grizzly Grip Bottle – a double-walled, stainless-steel bottle available in 20, 32, and 64 oz. sizes. The attached insulated cap with a sure-grip top makes carrying your water supply easy. Depending on the size, the durable insulated bottle can hold your personal or groups’ water supply for your outing, keeping liquids at optimal drinking temperature. The rubberized non-skid pad underneath keeps the bottle in place. Sweat-free exterior. Available in brushed stainless, textured charcoal, October marsh, vintage green, textured sand, and Tahoe blue. Suggested retail $24.99 for 11 oz, $29.99 for 32 oz. and $39.99 for 64 oz.

Fishing With The Family

If Dad and Mom are taking the kids out fishing on the pontoon, choose a Grizzly Cooler G60 60-quart roto molded cooler to retain ice and keep contents cold for the whole family for the duration. The Grizzly G60’s perfect for keeping boaters’ thirst at bay, holding 20 lbs. of ice and 72 12 oz. cans.  (Better hope there’s a portable toilet onboard) The G60 can serve as another seat while the boat is anchored. Suggested retail $349.99.
