I was one of those....I used 1 1/4" sch 40 pvc.....it would not slide over the seat pole so I had to cut out the middle section.....works perfect with just 2-"T"'s without the pipe connecting them....made this for the "Sportsbrella" ....cut the hole in the end cap to give a snug fit on the pole ..(did not glue down the end cap)..had to remove the bottom plastic piece at the bottom of the umbrella pole to get rid of the rivets holding it on and hot glued it back in place....

Don, my umbrella looks similar to the one pictured above. My connector pole is a little bit longer than his. In my old boat, she slid right in to one of my vertical rod holders I use when moving from one spot to another. Mine has a pointed plastic end for jamming in to the ground at the beach and the top will also angle. I purchased mine at Wal-mart a number of years ago but the colors actually match my boat! Folds down into a 4ft or so carrying pouch. I do however like the setup that "prefers shiners" made. Not sure if those are made and sold on the market... if not, I would consider a patent on that idea. It is a good one!

Thanks "D". I got the framing job done and have moved on to 2 roof repair jobs (still hot here) seems like I could have/should have scheduled them when it was cooler...... oh well, it is what it is.

Did a little fishing with the grandkids this weekend, it was so hot the fish didn't want to bite on anything.

That umbrella idea looks neat, reminds me of years ago when all the farmers had umbrellas mounted on their tractors, before the days of A/C cabs....

wick, some people use 1 1/2 pvc and you don't have to cut out the middle, like my close friend and fishing partner did. But most people don't think to add the cap with the drilled out hole like Bruce did. Only takes a hour or so to build one.

Whats everybody use to organize the plastic packages of Gulp, Charlie Brewers sliders, etc?
If there is a thread already about it, can someone point me in that direction?
Has to be a better way to store, than a plastic Meijer bag.....

I have a couple of these that work great, although I remove the plastic baits, etc. from the packages. One has plastics, the other has various jigs, etc. They've shown up as door prizes at a couple of our camps in the past also.

I went "shopping" in Don's boat several years ago and found his compartments awesome for being able to quickly find things that I might want or need! I can easily return stuff that doesn't work either!!

I have a bag I purchased at Gander Mounter that is made for holding the little plastic zipper bags that soft plastic baits come in. I like it okay but Brian and I found something better a year or so ago.

My daughter had a "Barbie" tackle box (oh yes it is purple, and pink). The little tiny bags for twister tails and stuff fit perfectly into that box. It works so great that Brian bought one for his boat (a Barbie one)!

FYI:

When referring to "shopping" in one's boat. It is a sarcastic joke/word for looking in one person's boat and checking out their setup, how they have things laid out, and their gear. It is NOT to borrow stuff (unless you are looking in Kevin's boat)!
