On the advice of a fellow Crappie.com member, I broke down and bought a new I-Pilot trolling motor for my pontoon. I had held off because they are not cheap to buy, but I'm sure glad I did! Took my toy out yesterday for a shakedown cruise and couldn't resist wetting a hook. Used my new spot lock to anchor over some deep brush piles and managed to catch 10 crappies, with 6 very nice keepers. Took a break for lunch and then spent the afternoon using Autopilot to "drift" for catfish. The big boys were hungry, caught 8 total with my buddy catching a 41 lb PB. Overall, a great day of fishing and fun learning my new toy. Have pics, but not sure how to add them
