Bow Mount vs Gas Kicker

[Fishin_dad]

I have a bow mounted minn Kota and I love it. I use it all the time for trout. I have not used a kicker or a trolling plate, so I am not the best to give advice on this. Last year though I was on a lake and a storm came and it got pretty dicey pretty fast. I had someone on my boat with me who has a gas kicker on his boat. As I was coming in to trailer the boat the wind picked up again and started to push us around a little. But with the bow mounted trolling motor I was able to move my boat just like I needed to. The other guy mentioned how it would have been much harder for him in his boat because the trolling motor mounted on the transom doesn’t pull the boat as easily as one on the bow.
