Abstract

Abstract A combination fishing bucket comprising a bucket portion having a storage compartment formed therein with a cover closing the upper end thereof. The cover is padded with a sponge rubber material to provide a comfortable seat for the fisherman. First, second and third hollow pipe sections are secured to the exterior of the bucket portion approximately 90* apart and are adapted to receive and support either a flashlight or a fishing rod therein. The pipe sections extend upwardly and outwardly from the bucket portion and are designed to permit the fisherman to fish at night with a flashlight being placed in one of the pipe sections so as to direct light on the upper end of the fishing rod in the pipe section adjacent thereto. The first and third pipe sections are spaced approximately 180* apart with respect to the bucket portion to permit the fisherman to selectively use either of the same depending upon the direction of stream flow.
