Wanted to know if you guys have any luck with sideways pushing? I have a 1478 sea nymph that I think would be perfect for this. The front deck is way to small and high up to push from but the floor is wide open with perfect seating. Any tips or pictures would be great.
Welcome to the forum from west tenn... I'm sure you will get a lot of good info, these sippi guys know their stuff:)
Check out the thread by olebigun down the page about his new boat. Has some pics of how his boat is set up to side pull jigs. Hope that helps, I've never personally done it
I'm looking to spider rig from the side. Anybody??
Use long poles
I'm very new to this form and I'm not use to the lingo at all what is side ways pushin?
Looking for details, techniques, setup pictures. Anything.
I fished with an ugly gewber from Arkansas and he has no trouble off the side.It's the same setup as out the front.
A lot of times gewber I fish with catching as many and sometimes more. Uses same length poles on side when slow spider rigging. .. moving up to bout 1.0 ......4' separate lengths crankbaiting. If you have a t-rail on you're boat your golden .. get a bracket made and move it wherever you want. ..
Dont have the rail but did plan on multiple quick connect bases. Heck of a boat

Excell 17/51. Before anybody gets big ideas....each boats degree of angle is different at the t-rail !!
Do a google search for articles written by Roger Gant. He has perfected side PULLING to a fine art. Can't imagine why you would want to push from the side and intentionally put the boat directly over your bait which contradicts the reason for using long poles unless you usually fish very deep. Even when I push cranks with multiple poles off the front they are still slightly to the side allowing the crank to run beside the boat and not over it. Good luck.Quote:

We do this because it makes it like 2 people in the front of the boat (where there is not room for 2 people in the front of this boat) but we are covering a wider span since our seats are about 7' apart. With 16' poles we can basically cover a 42' wide path. I am no expert at it but feel free to give me a call if you have any special questions.
Do you have a trolling motor on each end to control it's path or do you try to drift square with the wind?Quote:

I have the trolling motor mounted on the side the same as the guys side PULLING. Controlling the boat gets a little tricky and you will have to experiment with were the trolling motor needs to be placed and it will differ if you have one end of the boat weighted more than the other. I use my tiller motor to help some in the tracking of the boat. By turning it some it catches water different and make the difference in tracking. I also use a windsock and placement of this has to be played with also. The sock creates more drag up front and if I want to turn around, I can pull in the drift sock and turn the boat around and head back the other way. The windier it gets, the bigger pain it becomes but it works great for me in our shallower more protected sloughs.Quote:
