I wanted some more rod holders so I got four but they didn’t have a base. I remembered Misfish saying to try metal supermarket so I ordered there. They cut to the lengths I needed. I got 2 at 1/4”x3” 8” long and I got 4”sq and 3/8” thick to make the hard to find big Jon Downrigger base. They can mount offset so they clear my Bimini when stowed.

Yammy 90 on my 1875 ProGuide drops to a troll speed of 1.4mph using the RPM limiter. As the hours build on the motor, you will in colder water build carbon up pretty quick using that limiter so run it hard back to launch and burn that out. The Terrova 80 will pull the boat along for a troll at up to about 2.6mph. Cruise speed at 4500rpm is about 27-28mph. Go a big tiller, lots of room to roam.

You wouldn’t believe the fish these guys catch. great picture

Sounds like a great deal

Buy a 4 stroke

Now you just relax a minute young whipper-snapper! Trolling is healing, casting is just "itis" for the joints.

As most of us sit around in the "transition" time of the year, I get excited for the the adventures I have booked (and random trips) for the 2025 soft water season. I would say right now is when I do 90% of my fish gear buying. Big trips are: 1. June - French river for a week 2. Aug - 10 Mile Loge QC (thanks Iggy) 3. Aug - Round Lake (family vacation) Mix in some trips for lake trout in QC and Big Rideau as well as some local lakes for bass pike ad walleye I plan to fish as much as possible this year. Anyone else doing anything special for the 2025 fishing season? Cheers, BM

I’m going to try to make it to the perch fest. then maybe small lake for lake trout. then Erie for eyes. st Clair for Muskie. GB for salmon and rainbow. Then small lake north for whatever bites. that’s all I have so far. I’ve bought a bunch of gear. Hope to get a second boat too.

I've always run a kicker, keep those hours off the big motor and sip fuel. Salmon/walleyes/muskies/whatever. Kicker probably gets 10 times the amount of hours the big mill does. If you do a lot of trolling, you'd be crazy not to have one.

I have never run a kicker in my life Maybe I should have but never could get my head around the actual need. Save your money for something else, you don't need it. Take that for what it is
