Thanks to everyone who has chimed in so far. It sounds like I shouldn't expect the batteries to give me 14 hours of 2.2 mph?
How exactly do you use the Minn Kota for steering in conjunction with...

Great Intel! Thanks for sharing!

I have an 80# thrust Terrova for a little 16' aluminum mod-v. It's powered by two 100 ah lifepo4s in series to get 24 volts. I troll but I only go out if wind is under 10 knots. It seems to work fine...

My circuit breaker was pretty hot and my connecters are pretty corroded so I will replace the wiring. I also the motor bearings feel a little rough to me so I will rebuild the bottom end.

I don't even know what happened. This trip was weird. It started fine, hitting no red lights on our 3-hour drive under the light of the full moon. We arrived at Fenwick before sunrise but not so...

Mike,

You bring up an excellent point. I found two sources for Lake Erie...

My buddy says I'm fishing too deep if I'm catching a lot of sheepshead.
I think "sheepshead" are are actually freshwater drum since real sheepshead are a saltwater species.
Well I'm not ashamed...

About a 7.5 mile ride NNE out of Fenwick to 29 fow. A little misty but it was the first time I've seen the lake smooth. It was nice to be able to go full speed out and back. Counted 47 boats...

I don't know where to find the fish consistently, but I have 4 boys (and 7 girls). For a positive experience, call it a boat ride instead of a fishing trip. Then any fish will just be icing on the...

Thanks for the data point. It a big help for me to hear where and how everyone's working it.

Our 5/1 report... Looks to me like the shallow water jig bite is done. A few boats were shallow in front of Fenwick but we didn't mark anything there. So we went out 8 miles to 30 fow and marked...

We stayed near L can from sun up to sun down, about 12 hours. 60 boats were there in the morning but it dropped off to only a handful in the evening as the whitecaps picked up.
Mostly drifting and...

Now that is some specific news I can use. Thanks, Goosechaser, for the question. Thanks Capt Juls for the answer.

I counted about 50 boats out in front of Davis-Bessie today at 8am. Looked like everyone was jigging in 13 - 16 fow. We saw a few nearby boats netting plenty of fish, but some looked awfully small....

Thanks for the info!

Thanks, Capt Juls, for demystifying the dipsie for newbies like me! Will definitely give this a try in '24.

Makes sense. Thanks, Rickerd!

Thanks for that report!
Now, when you say G can, are you talking about the Camp Perry G can at 41 34.60N 82 56.80W? Or the international Boundary G can at 41 49.35N 82 58.79W?

Thanks, rickerd!

Thanks, GlennD! I can't wait to try this.

My first perch trip ever yesterday was enjoyable and we limited out quickly. However, our biggest perch was only 10". Most were 8" and we threw back many smaller than that. They're tasty but it's...

Daughter and I both got our limit before 9am straight out of Fenwick in 23 fow. N41.67516, W083.13626. Marked some specs on bottom there and anchored and never moved.
We used 8# mono on cheap...

I just did yesterday exactly what you're planning.
I stayed at Camp Perry. I only had a tent to camp in but their tent spots are just a square on a mowed field next to the shower house. No fire...
