In the 80's I used go for 6 days a week on my Honda 50 every week.
Bedchair laid flat over the seat and rack. Tackle and bait bag and sleeping bag laid on top and it was all bungeed down. A roll up rod holdhall over shoulder containing rods etc and 45" umbrella. Storm sides for umbrella in tackle bag,. When I got on the bike, I sat on the bed which also secured it and bags were like a back rest. Even on a scorching hot day, I would have to wear all my warm clothes I would need for a night etc as I had no room to pack them.
Once set up at lake, it was just a ride down to local shops to buy all my food and drink for the week.
All my cooking, was on a small meths burner or hexamine blocks and an US army surplus steel mug dated 1954 which I still use today, my cooker was the first tin of food I opened for the session punched full of air holes with a can opener which the burner or hexy block would fit in..
It was only a small step up from going for a week on my push bike except the Honda 50 allowed me to take a bedchair and a sleeping bag. Before that it was a blanket and sleep on ground on top of rod holdhall opened out. When I got the Honda 50, I still used my rod holdhall opened out but it became a warm bedchair cover over my sleeping bag so I could fish all Winter. I had a thin foam layer trapped between 2 bedchair covers for a matress to stop cold from underneath.
Only issue I used to have was, a bit too much "throttle" and I could pull a wheelie unexpectantly with all the weight on back..

I used to go on my moped when I was a teenager. 12 foot rods, chair, rucksack and a matt. Got pulled over a few times mind but with all the scope range available now you could probably get it all in a rucksack and be on your way.

Realising nothing is new and some of you are legends for what you had to do to get fishing when you were younger

Watch this spot, I reckon it's gonna happen and I'll try put up a pic up of the moped fully loaded
