all kinds of matting

I used to go out in a boat that had tube matting on the cockpit floor, very comfortable.

And then you got to clean it all the time, fish blood, scales etc, build up very quickly, along with flies.

We worked out that wearing Jandals provided the same level of comfort.

On the other hand I've recently flicked my Kayak in favour of a tinny and I've been kitting that out, with all the bits and bobs, a Kayak fisherman finds indispensable.

- fish stringer, hook remover, lip grabber, three tackle boxes full o' gear, split ring pliers, fish finder, spare anchor, sea anchor/drogue, iki spike, landing net, gaff, 6 rod holders, bait board, 2 knives in attached sheaths, and so on...

Its a wonder I ever get time to put a hook in the water.

As a kid, it was a single rod or a hand-line, cupla spare hooks and sinkers and bucket, and hoping for a spot in the boat, that was comfortable.
