Wakina,

You have been a tremendous help as well as the other posts. As I stated in my earlier post I have been on charters but this will be my first time trying it on my own. I have tried to do my research and get the correct gear to do things the right way. I have a 60hp merc four stroke I will probably use as the trolling engine. I picked up a drift sock also incase I need to slow the boat down. I have a 6hp onboard for trolling on the river but it is a two stroke and I get tired of breathing the exhaust. Makes me feel safe though having it on board.

Thanks
Joe
