Can't go wrong with a day like that it was beautiful and rods where on fire. Absolutely priceless when you get to have the kid out and a have him excited like that. He just wanted to keep one . I get it though there are a lot of small ones on the lake on the Canadian side but we did get some nice slugs as well but on average the last couple years we had our fair share of those size fish you're catching as well on the same type setups. However we still are getting larger ones as well. And I hear you with the heat and not much wind because you got to contend with all the bugs. And we don't have slot size up there so it's 6 a limit. Nonetheless I really enjoyed the video 👌👍
When the migratory fish show up it’s usually the small ones first so that’s what we were stuck catching haha A few weeks after we did start getting into some really nice fish 24”+. But the bugs! They are terrible and I think they know what you’re sweating and getting united haha. Glad you liked the video and thanks for the comment!
So when I use both motors I’m pushing right 75% of the speed with the rest motor which gives me the force behind me to keep me going. If I were to only use the front motor the big waves would stall me in my tracks. But I use the Minn Kota for the other 25% of the pulling power. Using the bow mount helps me have better control when keeping to. A straight line and especially when in turning. I have the handheld remote so there isn’t someone constantly manning the motor and that intern gives more hands to help on deck. All in all it’s more efficient and gives me way better boats control especially in rough water using both motors. Thank for the comment anymore questions ask away!
Why not solely use the 36 volt trolling motor? I use only my 24 volt terrova on my Lund 1650, never had any problems keeping my speed up. Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Saves a lot on gas.
There’s nothing wrong with doing that at all, the reason I do it is because the crazy current we get here in Lake Erie. My electric motor isn’t on max speed the whole time I’m fishing. Another reason is it helps me with my turning when I’m running all these rods. I always have a constant push and I can slow down the terrova and fine tune my turns without creating slack in my lines causing tangles. Untangling downriggers it’s fun or cheap haha. Thank for the comment!
@@tightlinefinatic3980 Thanks for the quick response! I fish out of Walnut and East Ave. ramps, I'm new to lake fishing and like seeing other ways of trolling. It was a good year for walleye, looking forward to next year!
It’s was a great year for walleye but don’t give up yet! There’s still big ones closer to shore than you think 🤫 I’m really hoping we get I’ve this year so I can target the walleye!
@@jasonteick9352 On my dipsey diver rods I use 30lb Power Pro braid and a 17lb Seager fluorocarbon leader. On my Offshore Tackle inline planer board rods I use 20lb monofilament line.
Yes legal size is 15” but there’s hardly any meat on those. Unless it’s 17” and has some shoulders it’s going back for me 🤷🏻♂️ We run leadcore, dipseys and downriggers trust me we can get to where the fish are. BUT not always are the big fish deep 🫣

Gettin lot of fish out ther.
I remember that green scum. I had never seen that befor.
@@randykeech3557 It surely was nasty! Had a nice line down the side of my boat that wasn’t easy to get off haha
I don't understand the idea of trolling off both the kicker and the bow mount. Can you discuss that a little?

You need to run wire line to go deeper I only had to throw back about 6 this year limit out 12 times 4 times 18.just using 2 poles .
