A fishing chair mounts directly in the sandy bottom of a relatively
shallow surf. A vacuum pump pulls a base pole down into the sand to form
a sturdy foundation, even in rough surf conditions. A seat assembly is
mounted at the upper end of the base pole. The chair mount may be
fabricated from composite materials or plastic, such as PVC, to prevent
corrosion. The chair mount is also provided with a foot rest or step that
is braced against the base pole. The surf fishing chair is positioned
above the waves under normal surf conditions, but also withstands larger
wave impacts while safely supporting a fisherman in the seat structure.
Other features include adjustable fishing pole holders, a tackle box, a
bait box, a bait cutting surface, a fish net holder, and a fish stringer
and basket.
