Fishing Help Needed!
Hello! I am a set designer currently based in Alberta (grew up in BC though). I am working on a new play that I am set and prop designing! I am hoping people in this sub can help me out so that the show feels authentic!
I am doing my own research but I would love suggestions on what resources are good and even what you think these characters might use!
Here is some information from the script:
"This play takes place entirely on a small motor boat bobbing in a secluded cove somewhere on the Pacific Ocean. Think Georgia Strait-Vancouver Island region, or Puget Sound, Washington State."
Two characters: MARV, 70s and EV, 70s (they have been fishing together for years)
"A small 17-foot boat can now be seen bobbing in the water. The word “TEN”, large font, emblazoned on its hull, burgundy. Outboard motor. It’s an old boat but obviously taken care of."
"Sitting side by side, facing downstage, fishing rods in hand, lines in the water, are MARV and EV. Marv sits stage left(bow), while Ev is stage right(stern) near the outboard motor."
When: It's non-specific but thinking modern!
It would be great if people had suggestions for me on the type of equipment they would have on the boat, equipment and anything else you think is helpful. I would also love to know what parts of these kind of boats get the most dirty.
Honestly anything would help me out as I don't know any fishers and have never been fishing in my life!
Thanks in advance!
