  • @CaptainSloose
    @CaptainSloose 6 місяців тому +1

    question: why not use the spotlock on those drops? I'm an avid bottom fisherman in the states and if there is good life on a peice, it doesnt make much sense to keep drifting or trying to hover in the current - drifting sometimes helps to find spots but once youve found them, spotlock!

    • @johnnychowjc
      @johnnychowjc  6 місяців тому

      Hey mate the reason why I drift is I cover more ground. Sometimes fish are all around a particular mark depending on current and tides. When you spot lock with strong current your lines can keep drifting away from the boat and your line ends up on a 45 degree angle or more and you need to keep letting line out. By driving and reversing with the current I keep my line’s vertical and I find this is the most successful method for me. On low current days or tide change, if fish are concentrated then spot lock can be handy.

    • @CaptainSloose
      @CaptainSloose 6 місяців тому +1

      ​@@johnnychowjc makes sense... my fix for the big currents to combat being scoped out would be more weight, but whatever works! You clearly know what you're doing down under. I used to do a lot of hovering over structure in reverese on my GW257...just like you did until i got my spotlock motor. You could also set the trolling motor to autopilot but the engine is probably easier to control.
      I saw that little ravine of fish on your sounder and i would have spotlocked on that bugger in a hot second lol, and used whatever lead it took to stay vertical!
      Love your stuff man.

      Hey Lindsay, I don’t have the joystick as I use my minn kota for spot lock feature. I have the Yamaha autopilot feature if it works very well. It auto adjusts and very responsive.
