[QUOTE="wihil, post: 325566, member: 6487"] I'd be real leery of using a regular ladder to cast from, even from dry land. On a boat, I'd for sure not want to be that far up in the air (8'). Something like a platform ladder might be a better option, figuring that a 6' ladder puts the platform at roughly 3.5' up from the deck and still has a stability bar at waist level should you need it. Hard part will be finding something that still keeps the weight down , and can pack away well. Something like this: [img]https://www.woodcraft.com/Images/products/600/417665.jpg[/img] https://www.woodcraft.com/product/2085176/42644/little-giant-flipnlite-6-platform-ladder.aspx weighs about 14#'s, is aluminum, and could be quick mounted to a deck with a few lynch pins and and some brackets. That'd get me high enough to have a better view of what's going on and still be safe enough. IMO. [/QUOTE]
