Yup. It would've pulled up the floor in my boat. So, i pulled it out and bought the adapter for the seat base. I still ratchet strap down the front snuggly for more stability. It pulled out once with the boards attched...not good!
Shorline fishing is the easiest! Find 8-15 fow...10-12 lbs line with stickbaits 100 -150 ft back off planer boards. Small spoons on the downriggers 3 ft down 70 ft back. 1.5-2.2 knots.
What do you guys make of this? Photo was taken 2 years ago in June (late morning) off Oswego Harbor. I thought it was a sunken boat, telephone pole or a pile of bait.
