Okay folks.
I have now been out 4 times and find I am getting a sore back at the base of the spine and the legs are a bit crampy.
I try to keep the posture upright but still having to pull over on a sandbank every hour or so for a stretch. I think when I pivot around to reach for something behind me in the crate that this is causing a problem.
I am early 40s and reasonably fit.
Will my flexability improve as I go out more?
Should I not be pivoting around to reach the rods in the flushmount rod holders behind my seat? If not how else do you do it?
Also when trolling with rods in the rear flushmounts how do you know when you have a strike without twisting your head around all the time to check?
I think I will definately be mounting a Berkley or Scotty adjustable rod holder or two so that the rods are in front and out to the sides as I paddle.
Possibly some silly questions here but I would like to know how other people function in such a confined area.
