I’ve never seen the gold ones with the quick adjust before. They only had two or I would have got four of those. You just pull to the side and tilt.
I think I’ll put them on my side.
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.
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’m planning on Only 2 people casting and three people trolling.
the main thing I was thinking about was if I need a kicker in any of my trolling presentations.
All good info thanks.
part of the problem is I fish for so many different species perch, bass, pickerel, pike, crappie, Muskie, lake trout, rainbow trout ,salmon and brook trout.
having the right gear for all of it is a challenge.
hopefully I can find a boat I like.
I’m thinking about getting an another boat. 16’ to 19’ without a kicker. 75 hp to 90hp main.
low rpm cruise speed about 20mph. I’m not concerned about top end.
trolling for three people but also good for casting.
Will the main engine troll at 1.8mph?
or maybe I set up the bow mount for trolling less then 2.5mph.
any thoughts?
