Cheers mate!! Yeah the tax man just keeps showing up everywhere. From the shallows to the deeper waters! They are prolific 😀

Thanks mate. Yeah it was the Sunday champ! Good spotting haha 😛

@johnnychowjc ahh wicked boated a beauty Maori same day 🎣🎣🎣 FISH were fired up that day

@@adamtravers8268oh right! That’s very cool man. Congrats! 😊

Hey mate the reason why I drift is I cover more ground. Sometimes fish are all around a particular mark depending on current and tides. When you spot lock with strong current your lines can keep drifting away from the boat and your line ends up on a 45 degree angle or more and you need to keep letting line out. By driving and reversing with the current I keep my line’s vertical and I find this is the most successful method for me. On low current days or tide change, if fish are concentrated then spot lock can be handy.

​@@johnnychowjc makes sense... my fix for the big currents to combat being scoped out would be more weight, but whatever works! You clearly know what you're doing down under. I used to do a lot of hovering over structure in reverese on my GW257...just like you did until i got my spotlock motor. You could also set the trolling motor to autopilot but the engine is probably easier to control. I saw that little ravine of fish on your sounder and i would have spotlocked on that bugger in a hot second lol, and used whatever lead it took to stay vertical! Love your stuff man.

@@CaptainSloosecheers matey! Multiple different ways to target fish you find on the sounder 😀

Hey Lindsay, I don’t have the joystick as I use my minn kota for spot lock feature. I have the Yamaha autopilot feature if it works very well. It auto adjusts and very responsive.

Thanks Dan! Yeah Gene is an awesome fisho! Cheers mate! Will have to catch up soon 😀
