Just my two cents,,, Not alott of help if your rowing but, we found if you are useing a kicker motor when a person gets a strike we throtle the motor. We were having prob's with loosing fishing on the strike, when we started gassing it on a strike we havnt lost neer as many. We have ben back trolling, using a Mag Jetdiver and eggs on a sliding setup. some times were in water only 7 to 8feet. If your interested in eggs, check the past postes on eggcures.
