Looking for some of these measuring boards they are blue plastic I paint the white on them to make them easier to see 10 inch mark. They say made by weed master Fort Lauderdale fl. They made in 2 different lengths will take either one. If you have one an want to sell it let me know.

Had you considered going to Lowes and buying a 3' aluminum bar and cutting it in half...bend a 1inch 90degree on one end.... measure 10" and make a mark....drill a quarter inch hole on the mark....if tail covers the hole it's plenty good.

Just something about these boards how they made when you lay a fish in it very seldom they ever move

Reminds me of the skinny paint roller pans. Wonder if they would work with some markings?
No I haven’t but I think them might work for me. Thanks

No problem. Ketch is supposed to be releasing their Ketch X model in black soon. When they do, I'm going to get one for my boat.Quote:

The Yellow one is Hagen's (Hawg Trough) They also come in white. Often times they are printed up in different company/club logos. Before the merger, Cabelas carried them.
We use old car tags,,anything smaller than that needs to go back and grow up anyway
Why when so many metal and plastic measuring boards on the market ?Quote:

Plastics ones break or fly out of the boat or get stepped on. Most of the ones I can pick up start measuring at 10" some even 12" for bass fisherman market. Then they get all crusty with slime or scratched up and you can't read the numbers and you end marking on the device any way. For 8$ and 5 minutes of my time I was able to make 2 crappie measures that where exactly like I needed and wanted. But the main reason I did it was because I can.Quote:

Seems like a lot of effort just to reproduce the same product. You can get exactly what you’re describing for $12 bucks at the bait shop.Quote:

Here they are. Nothing special. Fish tail has to completely cover the hole to be a keeper. 3/8 drill bit... drilled right on 9". That puts the fish at 9 3/16. I just don't like wasting my money on things this simple.Attachment 393639

Catch grease I like those. NC wildlife resources officers has basically the same deal as yours just wider. They had a machine shop mill lines across the width of the aluminum. I’ve saw em many times while getting stripers checked at the Roanoke river, there’s a slot limit; 18 to 22” theirs are precise.Quote:

I make some out of cedar. They have a 10” radius cut into the board the entire length, the fish will somewhat lay in the “ trough like” radius. I have lines engraved at different measurements and names; fish etc. this one shown was graduation present.
I’ll try to get a picture that shows the radius better. This particular board was basically made for the Roanoke River Rockfish. The keeper fish are from 18”-22”. No fish between 22”-26”. Over 26” falls back into the keeper size.
Its all good.Quote:

Great work!!! You could sell those.Quote:
