We use the spot lock on our Teranova Trolling motor no problem. If we have been catching perch and it slows down we will shut trolling motor off and drift to new spot but not far. If we fish for 1/2 hour or so and not any bites we will make bigger move. Always watch your fish finder. If no bites and nothing showing go searching.

Try perch rigs and spreaders with bling. Some days one out fishes the other. For the last few weeks it's been spreaders with bling. Sometimes they like them up a couple cranks and others they like it on the bottom tight. Talk to the bait shop Hi-way, Rickards and Huron Drive Thru always seem to know where to start
