would not go with out my "Shadetree " from millinum . I already had a 9 ft umbrella from Academy sports called a sports prella . Millinum now makes a umbrella to go on their deal . goes around the seat post ,very sturdy . Easy on/off .
Wanting to know how many people out there has a umbrella for the front of their boat, is it worth the money to spend to get shade to fish when it’s hot. Maybe a picture or two on how it was rigged, what kind of patio umbrella did you use, and what diameter do I need. Thanks in advance.

I used it this way for a couple of years, but that was back when I was doing more jig Pushing & casting (ie: pre-LS). But, even now when I'm using LS I don't overhead cast my jigs ... I "flip" them (more or less underhand).
I haven't really fished much in the hot months (July/Aug) in the last few years, so I really can't say for sure that an umbrella setup (of any kind) wouldn't pose a bit of a problem.
And yes, those rods are in holders ... but two of them are 14' (the other two are 10' & 7' rods). When I flip jigs w/LS now, I'm using a 12' rod.

I have a Millennium that my wife got us. It works great but sometimes gets in the way. The shade is worth the minimal bother.

I may make an umbrella stand out of pvc for my boat myself.

I like the DIY with PVC, but was thinking of trying it with ABS. Might be a little more forgiving in gusts of wind, while still being rigid and strong.
