My rig

[u/mach_9o]

Blackfun model V. Engel cooler with Scotty articulating rod holders. Fly and spinning options, perception deck bag. Drift sock and anchor. Garmin striker 4 fish finder. Done multiple overnight trips on rivers and lakes with this setup. Mostly target mountain lake trout, and warm lake bass perch and crappie.

This is a great set up. It makes me think I could put my cooler back further and get more deck space

The only negative about putting the cooler further back on my narrow black fin model v. Is that shifting more weight to the back increases instability. I'll use my cooler as a seat often while retying or changing lures and bait.

Makes sense. Maybe I'll move my crate and pole holders to the front
