fishnguy Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi everyone I haven't posted in a long while. Fishing in Owen Sound has been pretty good the last couple weeks (at least by Georgian Bay standards). We've been getting on average 2-3 salmon in the last couple hours before sun down. All fish have been shallow (50-80ft of water, down 20-40 ft). It's just starting to slow down now. Last night was the first night in a couple weeks that I didn't get a salmon in the boat (just two small bows). Attached is a pic of my little guy with his first two salmon. That was exciting. Also a question for the forum: I have a small kicker on my boat, but in a decent chop, it steers like crap. The last couple times out I've ended up trolling with my 115 Yamaha 4 stroke. I don't plan on doing it often, but are there any major concerns with trolling with the big motor? Obviously it's not geared to run at 2mph for hours on end, but do I risk any permanent damage? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 You'll be fine trolling with the big mill if you have to. I find in a big chop I have issues with mine as well, this is when I put the bowmount trolling motor down and steer with that, works great!

CRUD150 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Way to go Dad! You guys will be fine trolling with that 4 stroker. Burns more fuel, but who cares when you are on the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
