Abstract
Abstract A flat table is releasably mounted on a central depending leg at such an angle that the table is horizontal when the leg is placed in a slanted fishing rod socket on a boat, such sockets being normally provided for holding unattended fishing rods while trolling. A notch in the lower end of the leg engages a cross pin in the socket to prevent rotation of the leg in the socket and thus locks the table in horizontal position.
