I have a plate on a 25 hp mercury.. it’s a 2 stroke so the plate helps cuz she dont like to go slow, it’ll get me to 1mph for trolling live baits but I barely use it because.. I Fish FAST! You can never fish too fast for a salmon and some of my biggest fish I’ve enticed going over 3 on a turn or bumping it.
Do you sew your bait differently to troll effectiat 3.0 compared to how you sew it at 1.0? I've heard of a couple guys over the year's that could do it but I would think it would just spin instead of roll???
You can't make live bait look natural at 3.0 SOG, IMO.The water's cold right now. Live bait is naturally slow in cold fresh water.In the spring/cold water, slow down your presentation. "Match the hatch."
that's why I love my electric trolling motor..
Good to see ya back on here, Mac.Have you started trolling yet, on your big lake?
The boat’s been home for 4 weeksHave not gone out yet.And they have been killing the browns in Lake O for a long time!!!!Ran into problems with my place on Erie.3 weeks ago it fell off the pilings.I have a mess!!!!!But Jeff and I are going out Sunday.d**n the torpedos.😎
Heard about the O browns. Have a couple friends that just got back from there.Sorry to hear about your camp. Sounds like you need some screw jacks and cribbing?
Yea, Ontario is on fire right now.Go over to the Camping thread and there's photos of things.I'll get it back in shape.But we leave for Florida in less than 2 weeks, so there will be work left for when I get home for sure.
