    I wouldn't do it any other way. My rod holders are mounted on the sides of the boat. A 4 pole holder on each side. I sit on the front at face the stern. The biggest benefit other then boat control and the trolling motor getting bite due to the weight on the bow is when it gets hot during the dog days of summer you can have the umbrella up and when a pole bends grab it and walk to the back of the boat and land the fish then get back in the shade.

    One thing to watch out for if u leave your big motor down put it in gear so the prop won't spin. If the prop catches your line and it spins talking about a mess.

    That's one I always forget. If I ever wind up the line, I' sure it will be a lesson I won't forget!
