Odd question here, but this fall we plan to fish the Great Lakes for Salmon as they come into the local rivers. We plan to troll using a small downrigger and dipsy diver.
Our boat in the past had thin side rails, which allowed for simple clamp rod holders to hold the rods in place. This boat is an older fiberglass boat with really wide rails- over 4" wide. Any ideas on how to troll without rod holders? I don't really want to screw into the boat's fiberglass if I can avoid it. Any creative ways of keeping the rods in the boat while trolling under heavy drag?
Thanks
