Measuring board

Post by Strokin »

I am trying to get my gear in order for future tournaments and wanted to see if anyone makes or sells measuring boards. If not I would appreciate any input on a good quality board.

I read in the past that Heywood makes them, but there is also threads that describe in detail how to make your own.

Thanks for the quick responses. I am going to build one this weekend. Hopefully I will be out to an event soon.

I have not been a member for more than 30 days unless I read that requirement wrong. Plus I am still a big goose egg from the kayak. Havent found the right note on my orange fish whistle yet.

I made one last night, but was reminded by my son that I promised to take him to his friends birthday party. If I built it will they come? Going out tomorrow to see if I can find a fish our two.

How many fingers do you have left?

I have a couple of spares in my gear bag - let me know if you need one still. They are pretty basic but your cost is zero. Let me know with a pm.

Still a big goose egg out of the kayak, but the measuring board came out pretty good and minimal blood loss. Going out tomorrow to see if any fish want play. just need to figure out what I am doing with these darn arrificial lures.

Leave the camera, sun glasses, and measuring board at home, you'll be sure to catch fish
