Anyone have any luck on inland lake Crappie this year? Spawn yet? I haven't tried yet...avoiding a skunked trip. From what I've seen, Pike have spawned and are still hitting spoons and cranks in the lakes, inline spinners in upper Lake Erie watersheds. Walleye are hitting on the usuals...

Anyone Ever Shorten a Trolling Motor Shaft? I got a 36" shaft on my tinny, and this thing is way too long. When I get the tiller down to a comfortable level to use, the motor unit is "feet" below the boat. The shaft has enough flex in it, I get trim problems when running loaded. Steering is...
