What was your water temp? I'm seeing 74* on High Rock and I usually put the cranking gear away once it dips below 80*.

It can be VERY effective. Trolling motor paired with SoG ("Speed on Ground") measurability on your electronics will save you a ton of heartburn.

If you're serious, spend a couple days reading through this link:

Happy to answer any questions you have on the technique.

Thanks Route U for the direction to that post. It was right around 75 degrees last weekend. I’ll shoot you a message if I come up on any questions.
