I am thinking about the rest of this fishing season and coming up with a few questions. In past, I have trolled with screw tails and had luck but was fishing out of a Jon boat or a stump knocker (I do not own either one) and had some good luck.
The question that I have is what speed would you troll a jig head with a screw tail? My 17 Mako with a new 115 E-tec I have a hard time getting the boat slow enough (I feel 1 to 2 mph) to troll. I know that I could hang a couple 5 gallon buckets over the size to slow down the speed but is there anything else you would suggest? Also, a trolling motor is out of the question. Do not have the space for the batteries and do not want the additional weight.
I guess the answer is to tell the wife that I need a stump knocker with a 25 hp motor on back.
