         10 . A method for using a bag, comprising:
 determining a width of a transport device;   coupling a first bridge strap of a first bag to a second bridge strap of a second bag, wherein a length of the coupled bridge straps is at least slightly larger than the width of the transport device;   securing the coupled bridge straps to the transport device;   placing an elongated object in a side pocket of at least one of the bags and wherein the elongated object is at least twice as long as the height of the bag;   securing the elongated object to the bag;   traveling to a location on the transport device; and   using the elongated object for an activity at the location.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein using the elongated object further comprises fishing with a fishing rod. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising carrying one of the bags on the users back by placing the left arm through a left strap on the bag and placing the right arm through a right strap on the bag. 
     
     
         13 . A bag comprising:
 a bottom;   a top;   four sides wherein each side is coupled to the bottom and at least one of the sides is coupled to the top;   an insulated container located within the four sides and the bottom, wherein the insulated container is configured to substantially maintain the temperature of one or more objects within the bag; and   an interior pocket located between one of the side walls and a panel of the insulated container, and wherein when the interior pocket is in the closed position the interior pocket keeps items within the interior pocket substantially dry.   
     
     
         14 . The bag of  claim 13 , wherein at least one of the sides has an exterior pocket configured to secure an elongated object to the bag. 
     
     
         15 . The bag of  claim 13 , further comprising two straps configured to couple to the top of the bag and allow a user to hold the bag.
