re: Toledo Bend - 2024 master thread

I tried the swimbaits offshore with the live scope, but I simply am not good enough to fish like the pros.

I wanted to play with a new setup I’m trying on my rig. I usually fish the back of the boat and my usual partner back boats the hell out of me. I installed a trolling motor on the back of the boat so the co-angler could have a little control of keeping the back of the boat parallel with the bank. I put a second scope and screen back there for him. Probably a waste since the scope doesn’t do much when you are beating the bank, but I think it was cool and I’ve never seen it done before. As far as having some control with the motor, it was great. Put them both on spot lock and even in a big crosswind, the boat, front and back, was dead still and didn’t weather vane at all.

Bank fishing ended up working out well for us.
