question from a newbie, how fast are you folks pulling these bandits. looks like the couple in the lowe, if they are pullin cranks, might be using their outboard. i don't have a hi dollar TM and really don't know what speeds my outboard or TM will range. i just got through installing a 597 H'bird and will be able to tell more about speeds next time out.
Anywhere from 1.2 mph to 2 mph. You can get a trolling plate to put on your out board and this will allow you to troll at those slow speeds with it. I used to use my outboard but I have a 24 volt 80 lb. thrust Terrova now that I pull with.
nice going, looks like a good day
WTG Scott.
18 pretty good ones so far. Man it's done got hot. Bandit 200s are doing best. The fish are holding at 10 ft.
Stay after em!!
I pussed out at 11:00, just too dadgummed hot. The fish are still migrating toward the deeper water but they're not there yet. I found lots of shad in the deeper, 18 to 25 fow, but the crappie are still in 12 to 15 fow. I gave my fish to Michael and Paula so at least I don't have to clean fish. Lol
This morning I was using my TM and IPilot when trolling cranks and Michael was using his outboard. I had 18 good fish and he didn't do as well. We were talking at the landing about maybe the engine noise made a difference.
Yep I am catching more.....the Terrova with I-Pilot is the way to do it....it is a amazing TM
Yes Scott took us to school this morning. At times we were trolling along side him or right in front of him. We were probably going just under 2mph and he was at 1.5mph. He was pulling them in and we were taking a Sunday drive! A big difference was our very limited crank bait selection and his very impressive arsenal of his custom painted cranks. I GOTTA GET ME SOME OF THOSE!!!
