Location: With my son on the water | I prefer starboard because.
1. I have a single console so this keeps the port side open at the dock.
2. If I am fighting a fish, I can raise the TM with my right hand and fight the fish with my left. It works well because we fish out of the port side most of the time.
3. Because we fish out of the port side the most, we store some things like extra rods on the starboard side. This keeps the port side very clear and clean. When we net a fish (even with the TM up), the starboard side is still open and clear so we can let the net hang over and have a clear area to work on the fish. (Tip, a method to secure the net handle to something really helps. It prevents the net from going over and frees up both hands. We have a small loop of rope in the end of the handle that is clipped into a SS snap on rope on the starboard side. |
