Time for this old dog to learn some new tricks. Some may recall the boat I have fished out of was a 1960's v-hull with a 1966 9.8, it's not going anywhere, but want to try something new. This old boat has been a beast for getting a limit since Dad got it back in the 70's

But with my father in laws health issues I have been given his boat to "Use" Its a 2009 Pro Team 170 TX, 40 HP 4 stroke Merc. Bow mount Trolling motor, Depth/Fish Finder. Had a fuel issue where it would bog down after running wide open for 3-4 Min. Father in law had spliced the Mercury fuel line (With the plastic liner) and had crushed the inner liner. She purrs like a kitten now and cruises 30 MPH with 2 souls on board.

Now to learn to fish all over again. This boat is more suited for Spider rigging than long lining as I am accustomed to. I do look forward to single poling for the bedding Specks as I have never been able to find them when they are bedding, But with this boat searching should be much easier.
First order of business, Rod holders. I need to see some "No Drill" options. Do not want to make any permanent changes, Hope to see my father in law get better one day.
And second, I want a head start on Spider rigging, Any tips? Advise? Thanks a ton guys!
