A support for a fishermans chair has a frame for supporting a plurality of fishing rods and an upright pedestal extending through the frame. A fishermans chair can be detachably secured to the pedestal. The pedestals lower end is received in a mounting plate that is attached to a bar extending substantially transversely to the pedestal. The bar is securable to a hitch of a towing vehicle. The fishermans chair is supported by the towing vehicle in a cantilevered fashion, allowing the chairs footrest to be positioned above ground.
