Oh, Islander….nice boat, and great day to break it in! Sorry for the hijack…

have fun fine tuning your boat. I've been doing this is a boat I got earlier this spring.
fishing from a boat is way different then a potntoon bat or float tube.
rod holders are your friend but you will miss more fish (at least I do).

as for a pisser, I use an empty lysol wipe container on my boats.

I agree about the missed fish when trolling but anymore I'm just satisfied with the tugs.

I took out the girls in our adoption group out fishing one year. They all caught fish. Lunch time. Asked if anyone wanted to go back out. Vivian was the only one. She caught more fish. Two weeks later I got a handwritten Thank You note.

It was signed "I like tugs! - Vivian "

I heard a rumor that trolling sometimes results in missed fly rods. ;-)

That, and the ability to stand up (or kneel if it's choppy or crowded) to pee makes having a beer during the day seem like a more viable option. I hate having to kick to shore and drop waders.

I use a plastic coffee can. You can sit on the edge of your seat or stand to use it. It also qualifies for a bailing bucket..

Wet eat a lot of popcorn and these work great!

Next thing is long oversized rain coat or poncho so you can stay seated or stand up and have your seat stay dry in a rain storm
