I was in a 17' Lund Fisherman. Pretty well set up, but a real pain in the rear getting out that far. Slow, wet ride. Once out, I use the kicker, and bow mount to help control it as I work with the waves at some angle or directly. That day, kicker was more for boat control than speed. I had to run the main motor in gear (off) to add a little drag. It was a terrible mess controlling it and dealing with the double… but wide open exciting.

This all said, went out this am… back was sore, and wasn't into the long ride against the waves again. Ended up pulling the plug to head home a little early.

Challenging couple days with weather…. great learning, and sure do have big open eyes for this monster water.

Good luck all!
