any car battery will do. I have a battery which was very weak on the car and i charged it and it is still doing its job...........

Personally i would choose a good quality deep cycle battery preferrably AGM. A normal day out fishing will pose some real stress on a battery and only deep cycle batts are capable of withstanding these discharge cycles. Taking a typical lead-acid below its 50% rated Ah will drastically reduce its lifetime so in practice you only get 1/2 of the rated value.
