Spotlock

[Les Young]

I use spotlock 100% of the time. If filling the livewell with 10"+ fish and putting a bunch of fish in the boat in general is wrong then I dont want to be right.

Yep

Ditto. The larger community piles they seem to be spookier. However we have been slaying them over smaller piles and I use spotlock 100% of the time. If filling the livewell with 10"+ fish and putting a bunch of fish in the boat in general is wrong then I dont want to be right.

I ketch lots pretty easily over several different versions of spotlock and rarely get disappointed until the wind lays down , the circling thing makes it a challenge for sure

I agree low wind can be an issue. Luckily I live in an area that it is rare to have no wind.

I sit a minimium of 15 ft. off of fish & out to around 40 ft. if needed.

My home lake is heavily pressured and also very recreational during that time of year.
Spot lock definitely spooks fish!!!
I can’t get within 15 ft of them most of the time.
Now I stealth my way to the fish.
Hardly ever use the remote unless I am pushing minnows.
I consider the lake being always pretty clear to stained. I’m sure muddy and dark tea colored water would easier to fish but nothing like that around here. I’ve tried rods as long as 16 ft and still spooky.
I have to stay up to 20 ft away and pitch to them.
I still love spot lock for changing baits and eating a sandwich or just taking a break.

I use spot lock mainly to re tie or deal with taking fish off. If I have a 5 mph or better wind I find that spot lock works better to hold position without a lot of corrections. I have jig fished stakebeds under these conditions with good success. But no winds are hard to not spook close fish as the motor turns back and forth too much.

We use it often , we never ketch fish when we use it , some days it’s a nightmare to use and others it a dream come true , the mind of it’s own thing can be really frustrating though . Like everything else the settings on it are critically important to be set right for the individual vessel , it beats an anchor in my opinion though pretty easily….just saying

Here in the Ozarks, our lakes as a rule are clear 3-20 visibility we usually see the fish at 30-40 ft away, on LS, try to point into wind, stay 20-30 ft back, cast, count our jigs down and retrieve through. If we go over to Oklahoma to Grand Lake or up to Truman we can usually get over them and vertical. Think this is why we have little spider rigging down here, and guys going to longer rods.... bought me a 20' now if I could figure out how to handle it.....

Got these today spotlocked over a pile in 15 ft. Wind was up to 10 and it held pretty good. My ultrex is noisey but it didn’t affect the fishing.
