Wtb measuring board

[catchNgrease]

Here they are. Nothing special. Fish tail has to completely cover the hole to be a keeper. 3/8 drill bit... drilled right on 9". That puts the fish at 9 3/16. I just don't like wasting my money on things this simple.

This is "D". Before we get anymore testy on this thread, I would like catchNgrease to please put a picture of his on here. Might be someone would like to build and sell a few. Might be a market. I would like to see it.

Did not mean to appear “testy.” Apologies all around

Catch grease I like those. NC wildlife resources officers has basically the same deal as yours just wider. They had a machine shop mill lines across the width of the aluminum. I’ve saw em many times while getting stripers checked at the Roanoke river, there’s a slot limit; 18 to 22” theirs are precise.
You are absolutely right on the plastic one blowin out of the boat. Thanks for postin a picture.

I make some out of cedar. They have a 10” radius cut into the board the entire length, the fish will somewhat lay in the “ trough like” radius. I have lines engraved at different measurements and names; fish etc. this one shown was graduation present.
I’ll try to get a picture that shows the radius better. This particular board was basically made for the Roanoke River Rockfish. The keeper fish are from 18”-22”. No fish between 22”-26”. Over 26” falls back into the keeper size.

Its all good.

The "homeade" ones look great. Good Idea and yes a lot cheaper. I had a $32 one blow out my boat. The current $24 dollar one is now screwed to the deck where the end won't end up in my foot. You could easily mount the metal ones.

Great work!!! You could sell those.

Very nice. I would be interested in one of those as an accent piece for the house.
