Longlining from rear of boat

[Gobob]

I keep my pedal hooked up , I get distracted when unhooking a fish or re tying look up oops hands are full give the pedal a tap or 2 to clear whatever I'm about to run into lol

I did pretty good today on my vacation. Ended up with 10 big (for Percy Priest Lake) keeper crappie and about 20 short fish. I mostly used autopilot with the wind we had. I haven't had time to play around with the setting routes yet. Sounds like a good way to go. I am always too busy fishing to try it for the last three times I have been out with my new trolling motor. I need to leave the rods at home and learn to use the Terrova. I also need to throw away the foot control. LOL It just gets in the way. Never use it even though I have had a foot control trolling motor for last 25 years. Hard for me to believe but I like the remote.

Same here. I was afraid not to get the foot control and I've never used it in 3 years. Nice not having the pedal and cable in the way.

Di your boat 19ft long or 21?? I want exact setup!!!! Looks like a killer idea! What line jig weight you use? In 20ft of water you let a lot of line out a long ways from boat with light jig or heavy jig close to boat ?

Boat is 19ft6in, I use 6lb most of the time go 4lb on two rods in winter to go deep. I let out about 30yrds on my longest reel and shorten from there. Jig head weight is 1/16 mostly with a few 1/32. Spring you can go a lot lighter jig.

Wow would've never guessed that light. We side pull two 1/4 oz hair jigs at .8 mph 1half times the depth of water to ride foot from bottom. 20ft water 30ft line January-march then after spawn may-june. I'm excited to get new boat like yours and long line.

I've left the collar down on the terrova so that when its deployed the head is still out of the water. Then fired up the big motor and ran along a path I'd like to fish. After I am done recording it I'll just drop the head and tell the motor to go back along the path. Works pretty good.

While you are recording a track with the trolling motor deployed, but not in the water, do you have the prop turning?

To set my rods up to know how far apart the lines would run in the water I got outside on a non windy day put weight on the line and open the bell and let enough lime out to almost touch the ground then you can set your rod holders the lines will follow at that distance in the water I try to keep my front ones 3 ft apart and back ones 30 inches . I start out at .8 on speed and go from there. At .8 I can long line and spider rig at the same time since my buddy likes long lining and I like rigging. Usually at .8 a 1/16 ounce jig will get about 7 to 8 ft deep.
