ABSTRACT:
An adapter plate replicates an interface to a down rigger mount such that the plate is received in the mount in the same manner as a down rigger. The down rigger mount includes a releasable means for securely receiving a down rigger and releasing the down rigger from its mount when the down rigger is not in use. The adapter plate similarly secured and released. The adapter plate is further configured to receive a fishing pole holder mount. To enable a pole holder to be mounted to an incompatible down rigger mount, the pole holder, otherwise mountable to a boat gunnel, is mounted instead to matching bolt holes on the adapter plate. Because there is a variety of down rigger mounts, each different from the others, and it is not necessarily known which down rigger mount will be encountered on any given outing, a plurality of adapter plates is provided to achieve the desired interface to one of several down rigger mounts, each plate still receiving the pole holder mount.
