Great Fishing Ideas
 | The Office Chair Now who would not enjoy the irony here. Instead of dreaming of fishing while in the office chair in the office, this guy is really fishing in the office chair in the boat. Excellent height adjustment if you want the view for navigation, or duck for cover if the weather turns nasty. Get the back support right for lumbar relief. Mmmm, nice one. Excellent padding and ergonomics, mind you if you could get the actual boss' chair ie with the arm rests, a stubby holder would go well. Note a fair bit of homework has been done to anchor it to the floor. This really needs to be done well and not likely to come loose next time a big wave is breasted and control of the boat is paramount!!! (I hope the boss doesn't mind its re-deployment.) |
| The Golf Buggy The old golf buggy, with its narrow tyres and out of date frame can be given a new purpose in life by adding the big bucket for the fishing gear and keeping the seat on the back. No need to round up all the gear, it's already in the buggy and ready to go!! Room enough to haul home the big day's catch as well. |  |
  | The Rod Rest Ever wondered why you missed that bite? No bait on the hook yet again? Probably because you were not watching, and why were you not watching? Because your rod tips were way to billy'oh somewhere else, in the air, over there, way too high. Where is the most relaxing place to keep you eyes? On the horizon! So this shows how you can set up a rod rest that pitches the tips near the horizon. Change where the handle rests and fine tuning is a breeze. Get some 50mm pipe or whatever your rod holders take and make a big upside down "U". Now the finishing touch is to add some window sealing rubber (is it rubber or synthetic?) along the side where you expect the rods to mainly rest. This stuff with the sof profile grips like glue and allows rods to be quickly positioned and stay in place. If you see a bite the handle is at your feet ready to go, and you can strike without fear of tangle or dis-engaging complcated rod holders. Try it, you will like it. Just don't lean on it! |
 | The Stump Seat Found the perfect spot? Just need a bit od comfort and convenience when you get there? Well why not cut a seat from a stump like this enterprising person has done at Mallacoota? Quite a clever idea though don't let the lake rise over the top of it like this seat has experienced as it now has a very nice covering of very sharp Barnacle shells all over it!!! Most uncomfortable. |
