Thought I'd share how I attached a downrigger to my Hobie Adventure Island - to the right rear aka. No holes! check out the pics at: http://s317.photobucket.com/albums/mm389/fishman-rd/ It's mounted to a piece of decking board - see the white board in the pics, it's very light. Made the board longer for support, and the extra surface area makes for a good place to set the cannonball... Downrigger is a Scotty 1060 Depthking Manual Downrigger W/Rod Holder, but removed the Rod Holder. Mounted on a No. 1026 Pedestal Swivel Mount - the swivel mount is a must have! Weight is a Cannon 4lb Flash Weight attached to a Scotty 370 Trolling Snubber w/Snap & SAMPO Swivel The setup works perfect.. Now, time to Fish on! |

Awesome setup! I'm working on a similar rig to mount my Humminbird Fishing Buddy 141C on my TI. Also going to mount rodholders on my rear akas so i can sit on the tramps while anchored. Planning to back bounce wobblers for Chinook in the Columbia. I landed a 20 pounder Wednesday with a guide and am studying anchor setuos for hoglining in the big current and crowded river. Anyone doing this kind of fishing from a TI? |
