Abstract: A back pack arranged for use by fishermen, to include a first housing for containment of fishing paraphernalia and clothing storage cooperative with a removable fish storage bag for ease of cleaning and manipulation thereof. A bait box having a removable fluid impermeable liner is mounted to a front wall of the housing, with fishing gear pockets mounted to at least one of the side walls of the housing. A rigid framework having a U-shaped base is mounted at an intersection of the floor and side wall and front wall structure of the housing to include parallel frame legs extending at a junction of the rear wall and side walls of the housing terminating in fishing pole mounting tubes. Each of the fishing pole mounting tubes includes a matrix of resilient projections projecting radially into the tubes for securement of a fishing pole during a fishing procedure.
