Thank you so much for all the info. It's a huge help to people like me who have no idea what we're doing and trying to learn.

So do you troll with the kick motor and steer with the trolling motor? Or troll and steer both with the trolling motor?

And when setting boards do you set them to release (trip) or reel the board in and take it off before bringing the fish in?

Sorry these are probably really basic questions but some of us don't even know that.
