[cool][#0000ff]Here's a pic of a prototype I will be trying today. It is smaller than I want. I still need to find a larger container with more rigid walls.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The main idea is to have a raised front edge, to reduce loss of tackle overboard and to help contain flopping fish. Next is the bungee cord running underneath the board near the front, for support above the level of the knees. The two PVC Ts are for insertion into 1/2" PVC elbows, pointing upward, for holding the board in place securely but allowing for quick install and removal. No clips.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have been experimenting with the different principles and have it just about down to where I want it. Still searching for the ideal container.[/#0000ff]
