Thanks for everyone's comments, I've watched alot of videos but I never took in as much info as y'all have shared. Can't wait to try these techniques. Sounds like with my current trolling motor, I may be spider riggin until I can slow it down some, although I'm not opposed to the 5 gal buckets �� Hopefully I can give it a shot next Mon or Tues and I'll let everyone know how we do.
