Flushmount Angle?

I am about to install a couple flushmount rod holders. I have found tons of info on how to install them correctly, but nothing related to the angle.

I am installing them behind the seat on my T120. Looking at the left hand side and using the clock analogy, with 9 being the stern and 3 bow, do most of you put them between 10 and 11 O'clock? 10:30 looks good to me, but I want to get others opinions before cutting those biiiiiiig holes.  

Thanks!

The only critical angle is that you don't angle them so much the poles drag out. You have a decision to make. It's nice to angle it out as much as you can if you intend to fish for halibut, because you can use two poles. Like all things this raises other issues.

If you are trolling for salmon you may want to have a 2 pound weight on and a big flasher to get the fishes attention. If you drag this out to the side a lot you will find that you are always paddling on one side of the kayak because there is so much drag. Even a diver (plastic wing that drives your line deeper) has a lot of drag. In fact the best place for your pole is to have it so your line is centered to your kayak when trolling.

More issues: now that you have your line centered now you'll find that it keeps tangling on the rear of your kayak  and you have to holler at your buddy to come unwrap it.

So there is no right way to do it, it's like being married, one compromise after another!
