After the second net was lost overboard one fell off the bow the other was in the rodholders in front of the gas tank when the panel flipped out and away it went. This is going to look like a Scotty add but then I am from Victoria! I put two rail mount holders on the starboard grab tail in the rear one a old style rod holder (I might switch to a Orca if Apple shares continue to grow😊). In the forward one I had the post from a broken manual puller. I will see how that works and if needed I am going to put a piece of pipe over the post
Almost five AM time to pull out the boat heading to the land of WyrGuy2 Tomack and Tsquared for our two Chinook opening

After I lost a net I came up with the idea of filling my net handles with styro packing peanuts, no more lost nets. I sent the idea to Field & Stream and they used it and sent me a nice Buck hunting knife.  :clap:

I like that idea, I have a few corks laying around in case the styros go back. Gonna have to check the handles and see how things are inside.

Great idea. Make sure there not the fancy cheeto dissolving type.
