4″ 90% of the time, 3″ 10%…used to use Susquehanna Snoozers (out of bus,) now use hookedupbait.com, mostly in Roadkill.

Is it different from the hi-vis yellow? I’ve had good luck with 8/3 and 10/4 using a double uni knot to a leader.

I just got a Minnkota 24 volt 3x Riptide hand control on my new Navigator..Haven’t had a chance to use it yet…I like the idea of no foot pedal…it’s not much of a reach with the handle extension and the 3x should help as well.

John

I have used them like a spinnerbait, fishing over the weeds…works about the same…my favorite are bluegill colors.

John

First would be slowly swimming a grub on a darter head over the rocks on a weed edge for smallies…Second would be similar with a tube or a 4″ finesse worm on a shakey jighead.

That’s a sad day!

Haywood: If you don’t need to go quite as shallow, you could consider a tunnel prop set-up. I had a Polarcraft 1860 for several years that I ran on the lower WI River with great success. I had mine set up with a 60hp tiller but that sized boat is rated for a 90 hp (I think) with a console. The dealer should be able to confirm what speed you’ll be able to acheive. The big advantage of a tunnel prop is that you can use it on lakes as well. I think Sea Ark and Alumacraft offer this type of boat. The tunnel size on these boats would be just a few feet. My boat could run in about 15″ of water on plane.

My prayers for your sister’s health.

Beacuse I have a boat, I have only fished from a float once but it was a good time. The floats offer access to those who don’t own a boat or don’t wish to use their boat on the Miss. I think they add a lot.
