, what are you looking for when targeting those beauties? Also, are you finding the spotlock as a great asset?Hey George,Now that is one hell of a catch! Lots of good eats there! I don't know many people jigging them this time of year? Not that I want to know your numbers, although that would be nice
We saw them by the Windmills off BLock Island last Sunday, I can remember back in the 80's fishing butterfish hole,they were everywhere, big suckers too.I've had my butt handed to me this year by the tunas. So I decided to fall back to something else I enjoy. Bottom fishing for cod and seabass. My buddies, Craig, Jimmy and I jigged up 19 keeper cod to 20-lbs and a limit of jumbo seabass in just a few hours before the weather changed today. Back at the dock by noon. Found dozens of man-o-wars drifting around. The Portuguese are invading!

I use the trolling motor for the "spot lock" most frequently, but they offer a lot of other features as well. Such as cancelling a wind against tide drift, stemming a ripping tide, or creating a drift when there is none are also important options.
It is quickly becoming a must-have. I see they're making larger ones now for boats over 30-feet.
Yes, but that's just making the shafts longer. it doesn't do much good being that the thrust is still the same. Minnkota's most powerful motor is 113 ft-lbs and Rhodan is 120 ft-lbs.
