Muddy Water everywhere almost .

Yep you are correct. That has worked for me also. I don't have a gps controlled trolling motor, that would be the cats ass. I will do that if I have someone fishing with me at times. But for some reason when the big boats see a bass boat out in the middle of the lake they like to see how close they can get when they are going to and from fishing spots. There are lots of times I'm almost tossed in the drink by the friendly people flying by to wish me luck. If I'm sittin up front, I wind up movin around too much. I don't like the thought of falling off the bow when I'm by myself. I may need some help gettin back in the boat. With all that being said, I had no problem calling it an early day. I've been working 7pm to 7am then rushing around to get out when the weather lets me and I'm downright exhausted! So I came home and did that thing they call "getting some rest" for a change.
You wouldn't think having no drift would be so bad when the water isn't real clear but I am not a fish so I can't explain why they want what they want. Good luck to all!!
Thanks for the response though, Wakina, ill take all the advice I can get. I appreciate it!!!

We have a Minn Kota telling motor on ours with autopilot, that may be an option for you MK. I think it's a Terrova? Autopilot, continuous on and best of all it has a remote that you could use from the back of the boat to acid being on the bow. I know what you mean about the bigger boats buzzing the tower, happens to us a lot as well. Good luck and stay safe.

I have a Minn Kotea a with autopilot as well and love it. Just wish they made a bigger version for my 26 ft four winds. I have one on a 19ft Javelin and use it all day long. We rent a houseboat for a week and almost never even start the outboard. We trolled all day with it on lake Cumberland. They would work great for the guys that run smaller boats on Erie.
