Hello, I am from CT and puchased an 18' Alumaweld intruder 175 inboard jet, I fish Lake Ontario Tribs. A lot of the runs we fish are shallow. Too shallow for the 9.9 outboard. How do you West Coast guys handle these situations? Am I crazy smile to think I can get a nice set of oars and have control. Should I stick to anchoring? I have also thought of a good electric, but I am leary of there operation in cold temps (below 32degress). Thanks for all feedback!!
