I bought one of those on amazon. Put a stick of pvc through it and screwed on one of those white plastic cutting boards. I use it as a rudder on the back of my pond prowler. Keeps it in line with trolling motor on the front.
Aside from the increased amount of people on the water nothing else changed for me. I think it subsided a little this year. But that could be due to increased gas prices.
If you mean the tournament side of fishing….. I don’t care. If it leads to less fishermen, I hope it kills it😂. Anyone that PAYS to do something then calls themselves a “pro” is delusional. If I don’t think I’m earning enough money for what I’m doing I go find a better gig.
