  1. I have my auto pilot on a 19 foot boat and I fish Lake Uri also works great go into the wind doesn’t matter if it’s five footers with a 99 kicker and I usually troll for 1012 hrs. a day my buddy did that with his electric motor every day he hast to charge the batteries I charge nothing Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  2. Yes he’s trolling motor was big enough he had it on a 17 foot boat and I only troll Lake Ontario for salmon so regular auto pilot is the way it goes for me Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. Regular auto pilot you don’t have to charge batteries every day u don’t have to carry a remote to correct boat into the wind you don’t have added weight and you can get one for not a lot more money I fished with a friend who uses his electric motor on a day with a little wind if he’s fighting a fish he’s constantly messing with his remote to correct boat next thing u know your going around in a circle not for me yes on a calm day they work good with wind not so good so spend the extra money get a regular auto pilot Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. If it was me get an autopilot it’s much better never have trouble going into the wind or running battery down trolling motors don’t work to well in wind Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. First thing thank you for what u do and your right a lot of people don’t care what’s going on they should put your shoes on for a day and see what is really going on all the deaths and suffering I bet u they would change their attitude then Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. You know you talk about the clowns from out of state according to the constitution citizens of the us can travel freely from one state to another and out of staters spend a lot of money in your state just ask charter captains and bait shops and bars and restaurants if people would do what their ask to do like distance and mask things would get better sooner so maybe you should should grow up and think about all the people who had to die alone could be someone you know or are close to or you know one knows no one is safe so have some compassion help your neighbor Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  17. I'm not a charter cpt. and I been fortunate to place in the derby a number of times I only fish with 1 other guy in my boat during the loc. we split all gas and whatever if we loose tackle we split if we get a derby fish we split I don't count boat as a person that would mean me as the boat owner would get 2cuts of prize money that wouldn't be fair to my partner who i have fished with for years boat shouldn't get a cut in my opinion your going to own your boat anyway derby or not Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
