My other passtime

[27judge]

Back in nov I posted some pics of my new fishing machine. After 2 1/2 months I got it back from Martins customs in Va. Here are some pics. The cooler will also be used as a live bait well . Along with the racks there are 10 rod holders 4 are set for trolling. He installed my gps chart /fish finder and the transducer. Other work is a spare battery, battery on/off switch, fuse/switch panel, spare power outlet, a pump for the bait well, and a extended ladder for getting on. Im very pleased he did a beautiful job the bend/weld work is first class. Now for this ice to leave and fishing season to show up. I thought you guys would enjoy something a little different. Tks KEN

I know some guys who fish spring chinook salmon in the Columbia River with a rig like that. Looks great!

Looks like a great way to spend a day, or weekend. Good luck!

Sweet looking rig. I'll bet you are excited to give her a try. Good luck! Any name yet?

Pretty exciting looking! All I need to mix it up with the trout that I hunt for is a pair of waders, vest, and a fly rod.

That's a cool jet ski. I haven't tried fishing that way, but I've seen a few rigged like that on trailers. 10 rod holders is crazy. People said I was bristling with rod holders when I had 6 on a 13 foot Boston Whaler.

When I had a boat this is what I fished from, Alumacraft T14, 13.5 feet long, like 51 inches wide. Overgrown canoe and only 129 pounds. Used to toss it in the back of my pickup and go. Fished some pretty big water in it, Mil Lacs, and ran the river a lot. SOld it when my back started going on me and sitting in a small boat was to painful.
