Catch of the day [Fishing]

[goosehd]

@Giles I’ve seen videos with some rigs with an outrigger, fish finder, and pole holders.  Do you have any plans?

Besides the bigger boat cliche, here are the other two…

What does boat stand for?  Break Out Another Thousand

What are the two happiest days of a boat owner’s life?  The day he gets the boat and the day he sells the boat…

P.S.  I love the rods suspended like that.  I may have to borrow your idea.

I have a 5" Raymarine Dragonfly Pro fishfinder (courtesy a customer who used to work for Raymarine), I got it for the last kayak that never happened….  I am just buying the bits and pieces to install it with a lithium battery in a waterproof box set up....

200lb leader twisted together using a drill and a cup hook, then very long cup hooks into the wall so when you screw them in, they tension the leader...

Thanks G.  @AdamC I looked into paddle boards for the last couple of years for my wife and have gotten nowhere.  Any recommendations or tips?  Is it just one of those things you go someplace and try as many boards as possible?

Appreciate any help!

@goosehd I spent a long while looking myself and was close to pulling the trigger on one I had seen on a discount site.  Luckily one of my friends does SUP competitively along with other watersports and he pointed me in the direction of the Aquatone which he said for the cost vs performance and longevity is one of the best on the market:

Above is the one my wife has, the 10 foot one and I have the 10 foot 6" yellow one.  I have only had it for one season but I used it a lot and couldn't be happier with it!

I am sure there would be water sport centres where you can try them but the problem is, there are so many on the Market and some are very expensive.

I would definitely happily recommend the Aquatone if you are looking to SUP casually in calm waters!

I was sent this lure by a forum member.  Got to get out and try it ASAP.  Thank you so much….

is the Rapala brand as big in the UK as it is here? Any fishing section in the U.S. is dominated by Rapala crank baits.
