Okay, here it is, Doc Irv's concept of a good idea, which, as you will read, is not much but it works for me. I always seem to have a lot of hooks and jigs, and spinnerbaits and crank baits lying on the deck during a fishing outing. I don't mind it too much except when I am bare footed, but my dog really hates it and seems to always find a few hooks for her paws. I also thought of that useless item in the boat, the "hardly blocks much wind at all" windshield. So I went out and invested about $1.79 on a 1 and 1/2 inch pipe insulation. The kind with the split down the middle lengthwise with sticky stuff called glue or adhesive if your well educated on either side of the split. So, I cut a piece about the width of my windshield and put it on the top of the windshield and that is where is put all those nasty paw hooking things. It keeps my deck clean, my dog happy, and me organized. Here is a picture of it, maybe, if it works.
