In Response To: fishing from a kayak OT (Ken Sutherland)

I have a platform that attaches to the foredeck bungees, it has a small tackle box, a foam hook holder, and a rod holder on it. I use it for trout, and it works well. I'll see if I have a pic at work, and put it up tomorrow.

I'm not at all certain how well it would work on bigger fish. And I definately wouldnt want to roll with a line out.

: Hey Grit,

: When your fishing from your kayak, what do you do for a rod holder? I've been
: pondering this for a while and have thought of maybe bungee-ing something
: with the same profile as the deck with a rod holder attached, in place
: just ahead of the cockpit, does this sound like a workable plan? That way
: it could be removed and stowed when not in use.

: Thanks,

: Ken
