    Indicator fishing / Stillwater

    Most likely just trolling backwards with a certain amount of line out ,and speed , the line is going to sink to a certain depth , then usually start stripping it back .

    Trolling Motor for Drifter

    Thats what I say , I am sure that $800 battery is great ,but I could buy nearly four of those Weize for that money . Another very popular boat lithium battery is the LiTime brand , although a bit more money . The performance I get out of running my two Weize for my 24 volt MinnKota Terrova I see...

    A juxtaposition

    There's a time ,and place for the tunes , but IMO not on the river or lake . Unfortunately there are the few that need to blast it out there for everyone . I thought thats why they invented AirPods . I do have to confess with this new boat I did try the CD player in it , and listened quietly to...
