boat rental

[wolverine fan]

prob a long shot but was wondering if anyone has or knows of a boat three of us could rent in the manaki area first week of june that has a bow mounted trolling motor? ive tried the lodges but no one has one, have fished the area with a friend a few years back and he had one but no more. Cast mostly for northerns and smallmouth and we are used to the bow mounted type. Any help appreciated.

Thank you, i have about exhausted all the lodges and marinas around and i thought i might add the selfish reason im looking for this type of set-up. I take my dad and my brother on this trip, dad is getting older and doesnt know the lake chain like i do so i drive the big motor all day, my brother cant take fish off (so he says) so i take off all the fish we catch, the only savior i had was the front trolling motor one of them could use so i could fish some, with a back trolling motor i might as well not bring a pole!! anyway we all have problems huh? good luck in your fishing this year.

Have you considered backtrolling? Keeps Dad and Brother's lines out of the prop.

Maybe take the hooks off Brother's lure. A true Wolverine fan should have had Bo teach Bro how to remove his own fish.

Ha you make a good point but i did let him do it a few times and the surgery he performed was unacceptable to the fish and the boat!!!!! I have backtrolled some but we like to strictly cast the banks as we move along and its much easier with a bow mount as a bass boat has than a rear mount. thanks for the answer and i will pass your info on to my bro!!! good fishin

i sometimes take guys fishing that don;t take their own fish off. seems their limit is one fish a day...until they learn.
