Trolling speed before Ipilot and Variable speed motors??
For long line trolling??
What did you guys do before the ipilot and or variable motors, to control your speed?
My 16 aluminum boat has a 5 speed bow mount motor and slow is around .5mph next speed is around 1.2mph. After much reading I see that .9mph is a favored speed. Never did much trolling in all my years of fishing, where I lived up North we only fished for crappie in the early spring.
I just acquired a 12' foot log chain which I have cut in half, will try to use this next time out.
Please if I could afford an Ipilot I would have one, so that's not the answer.
Thanks,
