I was out the other weekend & my buddy’s bow mount trolling motor wasnt working properly, he has a 90 hp 4-stroke Johnson that we ended up trolling spinner blades with & in order to slow boat down he was popping it in & out of gear.
With this technique I wasn’t able to feel bottom with my 3/4 ounce slick stick…..& couldn’t buy a bite!
So with what you guys are saying I should of up sized my weight, so at least I’d know where I was in relation with bottom.
& for a rule stay 12″-18″ of bottom with bouncer?
If that’s the case isn’t your actual bait going to be 3′-4′ off bottom then?
Thanks
