That’s awesome. I landed a 31” ‘eye off the fair haven pier one day casting for browns with a 10 1/2’ noodle rod with 6 lb line and it just happened to be opening day of walleye season. Thank God because it is on my wall and still the biggest one I’ve landed. You never know what springtime fishing will bring in close to shore. -

I have always heard of guys trolling steamers for trout in the spring and have always wanted to try but curious about a few things. For those of you that have done this, I assume these are fished weightless, maybe behind a small planer board, but how do you avoid them twisting the line up? Also would love if someone could PM me and give me some guidance of some patterns. I own a few tandem streamers in grey ghost, black ghost and Mickey Finn but not sure if they are anything like what are typically used.

Planer mast or pulleys on t top

Wow, I haven’t seen that or maybe it didn’t click when I saw it. Looks like it would work if I opted not to use the tiller for steering since the handle is on the port side of the motor where it would hit the storage compartment. I am going to try an adjustable kicker bracket but if that doesn’t work out that just maybe my plan B. Thank you!

Nice, I guess I’m not too worried about turning with it while trolling since I will usually be using my minn kota auto pilot at thebow with a remote to keep me on course and make turns. Just want to be able to reach the handle to change speed or make quick changes in direction if need be. I’m hoping if I use a kicker bracket I can keep the motor high enough to reach the pull chord and still have the ventilation plate below the hull. When I get home I’ll make some measurements.

There is enough room to mount it next to the main motor but the steering rod looks like it will totally be in the way. I will have a friend of mine help me to see if we can get it to sit right otherwise I may end up dropping it on the ground if it doesn’t sit right on. I would be ready to fish this weekend but I’m not too hopeful it will be that easy.

Just picked up a 2014 Merc 9.9 and now have to figure where/ how to mount it on my limited transom space. I’ve seen a few pictures of my boat pictured online with kickers but not close up enough to see how they did it. I have a manual pull w/ tiller handle model and thinking I may have to use an EZ-steer since the handle will probably not be able to extend over the top of the transom. The boat is a Sea Ray Laguna18. Any recommendations or thoughts?
