Location of a Check Stick
Every fish counts when it comes to tournament fishing. One important tool to have is a check stick. Storing and using a check stick can be real aggravating. If you have it stored in a box then you have to dig it out and waste valuable time when you catch a fish. If you leave it out on the deck you will most likely step on it at some point or another. So what do you do with this tool.
Here is what I did with mine after riding along as a co-angler in a tournament and seeing it installed on his boat. Take your check stick and screw it to the floor under console against the area below your seat. This location provides a safe place for your check stick so that it is not stepped on by accident. Also with the check stick under the console you wont lose fish that may get loose while being measured. If the fish gets out of your hand then there is no place for it to go.
