    I am looking for a measuring board like the hawg trough, but the sides are deeper. I bought one at gander mout. a few years back, a let it go with boat when I sold it. It is perfect for walleye, any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Ron

    was it the judge? I know Dean at Everts has them or at least he did.

    We make our own out of 6″ PVC. If you have access to a table saw you are set. Basically you just slice it down the middle at your desired length. Use a 6″ floor drain cover(one that is square on the end)slice that in two for the ends, screw it all together.

    Lay down a fish sticker down the center and put some coats of lacquer on top and you are good to go. The other option is to get a metal yard stick and screw that down into the bottom.

    If you have any questions just let me know. I’ll see if I can find a pic. Dad has made a bunch of these and every time he goes to Canada someone tries to buy them off him.

    Here is a horrible photo, but you can kind of see it on the floor behind me.

    I have the metal ones screwed to the floor of my boat. Put the short upright against a verticle surface in the boat and it lays flat and wont trip anyone.
