Prime Time at Willard

Also do you troll with a gas kicker or use the bow electric?  I’m new to trolling and trying to figure it out. Thanks!

If you have both an electric up front and a gas kicker behind, use them both.  Aline the gas motor to push you straight forward and to be the main force to set your speed forward.  Use the electric to steer the boat.  Pushing with the kicker, allows your electric to operate at a lower current draw from its battery(s) and extend your time trolling.  If you decide you need to troll at a slower speed than the kicker is giving you at idle, then you may have to just use the electric to both pull and steer.

Thanks Bob,  I tried this at Powell Mother’s Day weekend and it worked great.  I’m not much of a troller, but trying get better at it.
