Anytime I'm fishing shallow for WF and someone inevitably pulls up next to me with spot lock, the fishing shuts down immediately. I end up moving since they don't realize what just happened. Using spot lock in any depth less than 25' at Bear Lake will just spook the fish all around the area.
Hey Scott I was concerned with that, but my motor hardly ran the other day and when it did it was on real slow and didn't make hardly any noise, now the lake was flat calm and so it wasn't fighting wind and waves so it really wasn't on much at all... I figured the electric motor would spook the fish a lot less than using the main motor to position the boat, maybe that's not true... I'll have to use the anchor next time... How did you do yesterday? Hope it wasn't as windy over there as it was around my place yesterday... I heard the canyon was a mess, hope you made that trip okay without getting in the accidents... Thanks for the suggestion... Jeff
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
