Cut the plastic on the boat today and I am finished waxing it. Hope it is splashed tomorrow and I am fishing Saturday if the weather cooperates. Hoping to find some gannets everybody is talking about with some striped fish under them.

My question comes that I won a Penn Downrigger on ebay and not quite sure where the best place to mount it. I am leaning towards the port side of the boat juist behind the support for my hard top. My thinking is it will keep that deep rods clear of anything up in the water column rods.

But Skip said something about they can get caught in your prop if they are to far forward and you make to sharp of a turn. Any other opinions or options before I go drilling holes in my gunnel

Also can it be at a 90 degree angle to the boat or should it be placed on an angle?
