Hey you trolling experts

Hey steve
I was watching some youtube videos of the sea anchors. Pretty cool. I have one that I have never used, I may pick up another and play around w/ the GPS and monitor drift/troll speeds

Other than not so good on the main motor. TROLL FAST. Wacked em again at Ilwaco. Lost track of how may for 4 days. Trolled today from 3.5KNTS to 4.9KNTS .WACKED EM WACKED EM WACKED EM. We are catching silvers and steelhead 40 miles out trolling at 6.5-7.2 KNTS

  KINGS LOVE A FAST TROLLED BAIT. Oh and so do silvers.
  Dont waste money on items not needed. Trolling motor is good . If not just go with it. I troll with BOTH super charged diesel engines in gear.

Get Some. Thanks for the info. I will be fishing small inland lakes. No open water for my boat.

A kicker would be the answer. That way you could back troll the river, and you would have a motor that would get you to shore if the main died. An extra battery for your electric would be a very good start while saving for your kicker.

Drift socks, buckets and trolling plates all work, but they're REALLY hard on your main motor.  My 4hp kicker was the best investment I've made for my 17' aluminum boat.
