[@adamtravers8268]

Awesome vid bro looking at weather rekon we were out there same day was this on Sunday 26th

[@johnnychowjc]

Thanks mate. Yeah it was the Sunday champ! Good spotting haha 😛

[@adamtravers8268]

@johnnychowjc ahh wicked boated a beauty Maori same day 🎣🎣🎣 FISH were fired up that day

[@johnnychowjc]

@@adamtravers8268oh right! That’s very cool man. Congrats! 😊

[@CaptainSloose]

question: why not use the spotlock on those drops? I'm an avid bottom fisherman in the states and if there is good life on a peice, it doesnt make much sense to keep drifting or trying to hover in the current - drifting sometimes helps to find spots but once youve found them, spotlock!

[@johnnychowjc]

Hey mate the reason why I drift is I cover more ground. Sometimes fish are all around a particular mark depending on current and tides. When you spot lock with strong current your lines can keep drifting away from the boat and your line ends up on a 45 degree angle or more and you need to keep letting line out. By driving and reversing with the current I keep my line’s vertical and I find this is the most successful method for me. On low current days or tide change, if fish are concentrated then spot lock can be handy.

[@CaptainSloose]

​@@johnnychowjc makes sense... my fix for the big currents to combat being scoped out would be more weight, but whatever works! You clearly know what you're doing down under. I used to do a lot of hovering over structure in reverese on my GW257...just like you did until i got my spotlock motor. You could also set the trolling motor to autopilot but the engine is probably easier to control. I saw that little ravine of fish on your sounder and i would have spotlocked on that bugger in a hot second lol, and used whatever lead it took to stay vertical! Love your stuff man.

[@johnnychowjc]

@@CaptainSloosecheers matey! Multiple different ways to target fish you find on the sounder 😀

[@chrischow3489]

[@lindsayfraser4791]

Are you using Helm Master??

[@johnnychowjc]

Hey Lindsay, I don’t have the joystick as I use my minn kota for spot lock feature. I have the Yamaha autopilot feature if it works very well. It auto adjusts and very responsive.

[@dsd-logodesignspecialistsi4827]

How did I miss this!!?? Nice one John and have watched @primal_pursuit spearing videos from the coast! nice one!

[@johnnychowjc]

Thanks Dan! Yeah Gene is an awesome fisho! Cheers mate! Will have to catch up soon 😀
