    I've seen them put big pieces of sheet metal in the floors of aluminum boats for weight to keep the bouncing down. . Think Bigger told me one time he flooded the bottom of his boat to keep the bouncing down as well.

    Five gallon buckets sunk just under the surface and tied to your front cleats helps on the bounce.

    ain;t thought about that Scott. I usually just stick a cork on my trolling poles leaving just enough line out where it won;t pull the cork out of the water

    Need to just get a cople cases of Debbies and have BigH sit straddle your trolling motor. If it don't sink it will sure stop the bounce
