Abstract

A portable fishing rod holder system. The portable fishing rod holder system may include a plate; fishing rod holders mounted to a first side of the plate; storage slot formed on a second side of the plate; and a securing mechanism configured for releasable attaching the fishing rod holder system to a separate structure.

a. a plate having a first side and an opposing second side;

b. fishing rod holders mounted to the first side of the plate;

c. a storage slot formed on the opposing second side of the plate, wherein the storage slot is formed by a portion of opposing side edges of the plate being curved backwards on themselves, and further includes a lip extending along at least a portion of a bottom edge of the plate and extending out perpendicular from the second side of the plate, and wherein the opposing curved side edges and the lip of the storage slot are configured to receive and retain a cutting board such that the cutting board is retained in place and from falling out a bottom of the storage slot; and

d. a securing mechanism configured for releasable attaching the fishing rod holder system to a separate structure.

2. The portable fishing rod holder system of claim 1 further comprising a retaining mechanism at an upper portion of the plate, wherein the retaining mechanism is configured such that when the cutting board is disposed in the storage slot and the retaining mechanism is engaged the cutting board is not inadvertently removed through an upper opening of the storage slot.

8. The portable fishing rod holder system of claim 1 further comprising an accessory holder attached to the plate.

9. The portable fishing rod holder system of claim 4 further comprising a second securing mechanism, wherein the second securing mechanism is not a strap.

10. The portable fishing rod holder system of claim 1 further comprising a handle mounted or formed on the plate.

11. The portable fishing rod holder system of claim 1 wherein the separate structure comprises a portable structure.

12. The portable fishing rod holder system of claim 1 further comprising one or more spacers mounted or formed on the second side of the plate.

13. The portable fishing rod holder system of claim 12 wherein the one or more spacers are mounted or formed on an outside facing surface of the opposing side edges of the plate that are curved backwards on themselves to form the storage slot.
