We regularly fish board lines in Lake Superior. On Wisconsin waters my wife and I run 6 rods; with another angler we run 8 rods.
I have a new-to-me C-Dory 22; I went simple and cheap to start with it (no holes drilled). Here is our port setup (same on starboard). 3 board line rod holders on the upper mount; 2 rod holders and rigger on the lower setup for dipsy and/or downrigger rods. We trailer to the better water temps -- mainly fishing the upper 60 feet. I haven't been brave enough to put larger riggers on the boat yet.
The holders remove easily for when cruising/camping.
Jim's cooler mod to the splash well is a game changer. Thanks for posting that. |

Having a hard time determining exactly where to mount my down riggers on my 22 cruiser. Don't mind removing the factory rod holders, but don't want to lose my bimini for non fishing days. Any down rigger mount photos would really help me. Thank you in advance. |

we run 4 rods with lead, no downrigers , often on the Columbia. It's well orchestrated chaos with a fish on though with the cramped quarters. If you don't need it for beverages or food, leave that cursed cooler at home and hang a kill bag up across the stern, it's a much better way to handle fish. _________________ Ken

I fish Lake Ontario salmon, water temperature is critical and down riggers are a must have. Two riggers and two dipsey diver rods is my set up. |
