New Ocean Fishing Buddy Checklist

I bought a used kayak, the previous owner had drawn a ruler directly onto the hull with a sharpie. it's not quite as accurate as a board but it's one fewer thing to worry about losing!

There's a guy I met that has a tattoo on his arm in three places, at his wrist, then at 18" and 22" 

However if your into playing our NCKA Angler of the Year, you have to submit photo's of your fish on an approved measuring board for the fish to be approved, so cant use a sharpie or a tattoo 

I would add a measuring device

I've been trying to think of a way to mount a measuring board somehow in my kayak.

I've felt the same way, i've had my board slip and be hard to manage with a fish sometimes out in the swell.  Your question sparked an idea that think I'll try out!  I have some flat magnets I can add to the board and the topside of my kayak so i will stay in place when I pull it out.

I don’t measure my fish until I’ve got a good hold with a fish gripper. My board is on a bungee laying on my front hatch. I grab the bungee and pull the board to me. When I’m done I toss it back on the hatch.
