I have figured out how to provide shade and rain protection for boats(9 ft diameter) that will not impair your fishing. they store easily and fit into your flush deck mounts already on boats for seats. No wires,no cables, just plug them into the mount and raise them up. I have been using mine now for about a year. They come with covers so they won't fly open while running wide open across the lake. I am a professional guide and use abuse them.These are really good and durable. I am working on getting them on the market. pics will be here soon. Anyone interested send me a pm and I will contact you. Thanks www.thecrappieking.com

This one works for my rig. There are several on here that have the same or some variation of this setup.



I use a velcro strap to secure it when moving around but if I'm going to be full throttle, I take it down all together. I'd like to see your setup monster crappie.

There are a lot of umbrella users on this forum. Built some for my boat last year after reading a post here. Easy to build and a great way to beat the heat!

A $5.00 investment plus the cost of umbrella is all it takes to install one. We thought this up about 5 years ago, and it has been great for Hot Summer.

I think y'all invented it, right? I know I made one and still have it. It will be on the new boat this summer.

bobcat I had one on my old skeeter long before they ever did.
I will try and find the pic. after I posted the pic, ernest came out with the one that attached to the seat, then everybody started doing them.


COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

I believe that's correct bobcat. But ain't arguing about it. We ask for 2 months before we had the idea, and no one had a suggestion. All the first time guys never answer a post to help a guy out, but hey. When we picture our umbrella for the 1st time, it took off like wildfire. Ofter the 1st summer, they were on all the lake in force.

Oh okay. Well it don't really matter to me. I do remember Ernest attaching that one to the back of his seat though.

I might buy a little better quality umbrella this year. Last year the wind came up and the umbrella acted like a sail before it flipped up and I was able to pull it down. Nothing wrong with the PVC mount I made up just need a flip resistant umbrella. Thanks to all you guys for posting pics of the PVC mounts!
