You don't have any sort of plans that you followed that you are willing to share by chance do you? Does anyone have any plans to follow? |

3/4" Plywood
10" x30"
10"x 30"
Put a hinge on it.
10"x5" for the end piece
5"x15" side piece for the bump.
cut the straight edge in half.
I used a planer so I could recess the straight edge into the wood. finish spraying some sealer then painting it you want.
When you fold it it is 30" and stows away easily.
I will take a pic of it this weekend. I don't see the need to spend an extra 60-100$+ on fluff. |

Location: NorthCentral WI | One thing to consider is that the WMT series (MCTC and Pro-Mac) requires all contestants to have a T's Tackle board in the boat. If you don't have one, you have to rent one for the day at a fee of $20.
If you don't plan to ever fish any of these events then no worries. Muskie bumper makes a good looking board too. |

Location: Kansas City BBQ Capitol of the world | I built mine like Mojo and Cave Run.
When it folds over on the Top side I have Blue, Red and Yellow tape for Crappie, Bass and Walley.
On the head of the bump board I have a weight/length/girth Muskie scale.
On the main board I have colored tape at 36, 40, 45 inches ect. and cut a handle in the side of the bump wall to grab easy.
On the bottom of the board I put velcro to keep it from sliding around in transit.
