I fish Lake Erie solo a fair amount and my set-up is very similar to yours. I don't have rod trees, though, as I made my own rod holder bases and mounted them to the track system in my gunnels. Also, when using crankbaits, I only use a snap. I don't mind fishing alone, honestly. Usually, there's someone on the water who I know and can communicate with on the radio or by phone. Plus, I can crank up the music! Nice video!
I feel like the rod holder setup is still similar, I almost bought something similar to what you’re saying before I got the trees. I really don’t mind it either, I can run on my own schedule and move wherever I want, plus I film these videos and it’s more comfortable to film alone with my dog 😂😂 thanks for tuning in, I appreciate the support!
I have 2 7’-6” rods and 2 8’ rods, I generally run the 2 7’-6” rods and 1 8’ rod by myself because I like the 7 footers a little better, we can use 3 rods per person on Lake Erie in Ohio
I fish alone occasionally, but mostly jigging in the D-River. I prefer not to troll alone for the safety aspect. If you fall in while trolling, you are not likely to make it back alive. The boat will keep going and unless there is another boat really close, you are in serious trouble. When I do troll alone, I net my fish sitting on the back platform and try to always be hanging on to something as I move around the boat. Especially when I go the front to put the TM in and out. Of course, at that point, the boat isn't moving, so it's not nearly as dangerous if I were to fall in.
I can respect that, I always keep my remote clipped to me somewhere and if I ever did fall in I could quickly spotlock or cancel the continuous setting. The sides on my boat are pretty high, as well as the transom, so I’ve never worried about it. But it’s definitely something to think about, so I appreciate the comment!
If you fish by yourself a lot, it’s worth being able to go out and troll. But having nice rod holders and setting your boards up to easily get them off are also important

Looks very elaborate 👍🙂🎣
It’s been a good setup! Hopefully it explained the setup well!
How long and what kind of rods are you running?
