Mondays catch--Detroit river

[WALLEYE MIKE]

Got 4 today all before 8:30. Started about 7:15 at the Eidson plant. 6lb, 4lb, and 2-3lbers. Nothing after 8:30. Saw very few after 8:30, maybe 10, till 12:30. Had too be 100 boats. Ours were caught in 10-18 FOW. Had one more on early just didn't get it to the boat. Water temp 41 degrees. also a bit breezy later in the morning. The auto-pilot worked GREAT and also the co-pilot is super. 1/2 oz jigs with minnows tipped with a tail.
Water clairity about 18".


Tailwalker, where you out there. I did see a green and white Triton about 10:20 leave the pack and go to the middle of the river. Then I looked again and gone. If that was you, you pasted within 100ft of me.

Good Job!!,,,,that new moter sounds like it's the $#!+,,
If you don't mind me asking,,whats the price tag on one of them new Auto-pilots ??

[WALLEYE MIKE]

Tongo, I got a remanufactured one from Cabela's. Saw it online. Paid $599. Everyone has them for $749. Minnkota power drive with auto-pilot and 60" shaft with 65lbs. thrust. If you also want a universal sonar its another $100. Co-pilot is $150.

sounds cool! ,,I will be checking them out,,
Is it as good as it sounds ??? you know what I mean the add's !!

[WALLEYE MIKE]

First time using it, but I'm impressed as hell. The co-pilot is absolutely fantastic. And the auto-pilot kept the boat straight even in the waves and wind.
