What do I need?

The BFL/FLW provides weigh in bags. I would have a few tags for culling - cheapies, I like the metal clips with the rubber tubing. I like the culling beams better than scales. But none of those are real important. If you are culling fish as a co-angler, you are doing pretty good. Most boaters will have some beams if you need them.
As a co-angler I really tried to minimize what I brought along with me. A few rods (3-5), a medium sized tackle bag, and a RAINSUIT. One of those fish hedz/save phace masks is the best purchase I made as a co-angler. Using it on one long run in a single console boat when it is 34 degrees and raining will make it well worth the money.

The single most important thing you can bring is a possitive, easy-going attitude.

....agreed....chaulk it up as a learning experience...dont go in with the attitude that your fishing for money...even though its nice..that can cause major friction in your own head..always ask the boater if he wants you to net his fish..and always be ready to do so...Ive become quite the net man in my 6 years of fishing the BFL's..always offer gas money....and most important...have fun

Totally going into this as a learning experience. Money would be nice, but knowledge is much more valuable.
