A fishing rod holder system, for holding a fishing rod and securing to a deck rail or ground surface, using a fishing rod holder having a threaded rod, a fixed clamp attached to one end of the threaded rod, a u-shaped rod support bracket attached to the other end of the threaded rod, a movable clamp, and an adjustment wheel for holding the fixed clamp against the movable clamp. A rod support tube mounts in the u-shaped rod support bracket and has an open end for holding the fishing rod. A ground adapter has a cylindrical body that selectively inserts between the fixed clamp and movable clamp and has a pair of stakes for attaching to the ground surface. The holder may be secure to the deck rail by extending the deck rail between the fixed clamp and movable clamp and tightening the adjustment wheel thereagainst.

1. A fishing rod holder, for holding a fishing rod and securing to one of a deck rail and a ground surface, comprising:a threaded rod having threads, a first end and a second end;a u-shaped tube holder bracket secured to the second end of the threaded rod;a rod support tube, secured within the u-shaped bracket, having an open end for receiving the fishing rod;a fixed clamp support secured to the first end of the threaded rod;a movable clamp support attached on the threaded rod between the fixed clamp support and second end;an adjustment wheel attached on the threaded rod, operatively engaged with the threads such that the adjustment rod advances on the threaded wheel when rotated and selectively engages the movable clamp support to urge the movable clamp support toward the fixed clamp support;a ground adapter, having a cylindrical body and a pair of stakes extending from the cylindrical body substantially parallel to each other, the stakes each having a pointed end fully opposite from the cylindrical body; andwherein the deck rail is selectively held between the movable clamp support and fixed clamp support by tightening the adjustment wheel against the movable clamp support when the fishing rod holder is secured to the deck rail, and wherein the cylindrical body is selectively held between the movable clamp support and fixed clamp support by tightening the adjustment wheel against the movable clamp support and the stakes extend into the ground surface when the fishing rod holder is secured in the ground surface.2. The fishing rod holder as recited in claim 1, wherein the fixed clamp support has a V-shaped fixed clamp bracket and a rubber clamping surface; wherein the movable clamp support has a V-shaped movable clamp bracket and a rubber clamping surface; and wherein the rubber clamping surfaces are suited to together engage the deck rail and cylindrical body of the ground adapter.3. The fishing rod holder as recited in claim 2, wherein the adjustment wheel has a plurality of spokes to facilitate easy rotation of the adjustment wheel.4. The fishing rod holder as recited in claim 3, wherein the rod support tube is secured within the unshaped tube holder bracket by a pair of tightening knobs, each tightening knob having a tightening screw that extends through the u-shaped tube holder bracket and engages the rod support tube, and the tightening screws extend coaxially such that the rod support tube can pivot thereon.5. The fishing rod holder as recited in claim 4, wherein the clamping surfaces are ribbed to allow them to better hold the cylindrical object therebetween.6. A fishing rod holding method, for holding a fishing rod and securing to one of a deck rail and ground surface, using a holder having a threaded rod having a fixed clamp attached to one end and a u-shaped tube support bracket at an opposite end, a movable clamp on the threaded rod between the fixed clamp and u-shaped tube support bracket, and an adjustment wheel on the threaded rod between the movable clamp and u-shaped tube support bracket, a rod support tube having an open end is attached within the u-shaped tube support bracket, and a ground adapter having a cylindrical body and a pair of stakes extending therefrom, comprising the steps of:a) performing one of:securing the holder to the deck rail by extending the deck rail between the fixed clamp and movable clamp and tightening the adjustment wheel against the movable clamp, andsecuring the holder to the ground surface byi) inserting the cylindrical body of the ground adapter between the fixed clamp and movable clamp,ii) tightening the adjustment wheel against the movable clamp, andiii) inserting the stakes into the ground surface; andb) holding the fishing rod by inserting the fishing rod into the open end of the rod support tube.
