Hi All,
Had someone PM me regarding our dodgy brothers el cheapo fishing set up for the SUP and thought that others might be interested. Very simple way to cart gear!
2 lengths of pvc stormwater pipe cut down the middle as the 'clamping' mechanism at the sides. Thread some elastic cord (like Occy strap) through two holes drilled in each section of pipe. The elastic cord is also threaded through the milk crate so it holds it firmly down on the board. The milk crate can be fixed either open side down so it provides a 'seat' for fishing from or open side up so it can take a water-tight drum for towels, food, phones etc when heading to the beach for the day. Hang the bait box off the side one side and a smaller diameter pvc pipe for a rod holder on the othe side and hey presto ready to fish!
Just have to work out how to fix the beach umbrella and still have somewhere to sit!

Cool Mel,
When I got my 11' made I got my mate to put 6x leggy plugs in the tail for securing my fishing gear.I havent caught any fish from it yet,but watch this space,
Robbrooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hey JB,
what an awesome idea, the kids and I are going to try that out the next flat day.
There are some great flathead around the place so we might try some jigging.
Thanks for the heads up!

Fantastic, Mel. Thanks! (And thanks as well for being so responsive to my PM)!
I think it's especially cool the way you figured how to use big enough pieces of pipe so that they self-clamp to the side of the board, so that you don't have to run bungees beneath the board. Brilliant!
And you reckon that you can get away with stealing a fishing setup that I posted over a year ago. I'm heading down to Slater and Gordon right now.
I don't know Oliver. I think Mel has made the required 17.5% variance to circumnavigate your patent. The colour, her imbroved bait box and now a built in seat. Though I must say I liked your idea of an on board toilet.
Hmmmmmm I dont think that shed even gets a mention in the messy shed awards Mel
Unfortunately my camera doesnt have a flash so I cant shoot pics in the bat cave lol

only trouble i'm having is finding the pipe. from what i can gather it's 6" PVC thin wall stuff; but the biggest anyone goes around here is 4". well, the search continues!
