Wanted to post a few pics of my efforts to organize my ice bucket. Historically I put all rods in the bucket along with my tackle, gloves, etc. and would invariably end up with a tangled mess of treble hooks, line, bobbers, gloves, etc. I used 3/4" and 1" conduit clamps with 1/2" bolts/nuts and strips of 3/4" velcro on the top to keep things tight. Anyone familiar with the limits of my technical/mechanical prowess understands this might as well have been a succesful lunar landing mission.
Tackle system worked well first time out Saturday - so far, so good.
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
