Hiyas
I'm just in the process of customizing my 2011 Dune AI to catch fish near the east coast of Vancouver Island where I live.
I'm right handed, so I designed the AI's fishing aspect by leaving the right Tramp off. That allows me to mainly concentrate on the open right side even though I will be trolling from 2+ rods mounted on a RailBlaza track system custom mounted to my rear crossbar.

I ask, do you 'lean' towards one side or the other by you who use their Adventure Island (or TI) to catch fish? In your experience, do you prefer to just keep the tramps off when your fishing? Or do you prefer a left, right, or both Tramps?

My opinion, one Tramp is Gold. It could even allow a platform to hold or process the catch to keep the bulk of your catch as small (and fresh) as possible with limited ice supplies aboard. (local regulations, may not allow this)

I'm planing on putting Railblaza Starport mounts

on the bow to use this table as a 'spray buster' when it is not being used to process fish fillets. otherwise it can be mounted on the stern or possibly on an amma as the Railblaza Starport mount system is highly flexible for swapping out the attachments

Your input would be highly appreciated :)

I'm right-handed but have a half-tramp on the right side and my primary rod on my left side. I don't know why, it just felt right. I upgraded to a new level-wind reel for my right side in the last few months that I like, as I can reel in line with one hand, unlike my main reel that requires guiding the line while reeling in.
