Well we tried my new trolling racks I built out this weekend.

Last week I posted pictures of these rod racks, well we went down on Thursday afternoon and came back today, they worked ok.



Here they were in action. Note the cooler next to the big pole. The racks aren't heavy enough to hold that 16' Heavy Lifter poles.






We have a 7 foot bass rod, and then an 11 foot Crappie Commander, and the 16 footers, and we had two ran out the back where I was trying to keep the boat straight.

Here was my buddy Charles sitting up front watching for fish.


A little fishing action.




Some end results pictures.




I had the camera on the timer, and didn't spend enough time figuring the picture out so we lost the tops of our heads.

Good job on the rod holders and the catch but, from the looks of you two, didn't look like you had no fun.

Great job on the holders. I know that look, "now we got to clean these suckers".

[Dodgeman]

Scott, yesterday morning's catch Charles cleaned them while I mowed the yard at our place down there, and after that picture, I started the grease and got some from that morning or Thursday evening that was already cleaned and got them cooking.

It was 9:00 both nights before we ate.

On a side note, I BBQed, deer wrapped with bacon on Thursday night.
