If that's the best ya got, keep your apology. I sure don't need it.  And please don't start crying!! There's no crying in Crappie fishing!! And to Fishing Man88, My sincere apology for hijacking your thread. But there are some on this forum that think to much of themselves and someone has to stand up to them. Besides, it ain't easy to gets a 5 page thread going. Good for you.  Now back to our regularly scheduled program

Fine with me. I don't mind rescinding it at all. You sure don't deserve one. There is no crying in Crappie Fishing, you are right about that. Only when anyone disagrees with texboxer do we hear any crying. Think too much of myself??? You are the one belittling anyone's opinion but your own. Grow up. Done Now back to the original topic and my original comment. "Minn Kota Fortrex. You will never want for a different trolling motor."

Haha! I have a minn kota maxxum 101 and like it. My buddy has gone through two motor guides since he has had his boat. I don't like the way the nut holds the prop on motor guide. His fell off at fork a few weeks back but he had all the spare parts so it was all good

Please remind me to never give any more advice to anyone on a public forum. I don't know anything. Like I said Bobcat, keep it on the front page. Do not think you can talk smack with your friends on here and then PM me trying to cozy up and apologize. Man up and do it on the front page in front of your friends and everyone that read what you said, not behind their backs. Don't be two-faced. I will gladly accept your apology but not in a PM. The way I see it, how can it be a sincere apology if done in a PM, The smack you said wasn't in a PM? And this goes to anyone else that comes out with "It needs to go to a PM". Unless your the owner of this site or a moderator, keep that mess to yourself cause as far as I am concerned, I don't care what you think I should do.  I've said what I need to say, so, Nuff said on this and now I will drop it so we can all get along.  I wouldn't call it cozying up Texboxer. As I said in my PM we have always been complimentary to each others catches and your videos. I shared some of why I can't fish as much as I want which has to do with my work schedule, family committments with 10 grandkids sports and such, and taking care of my Mom. I even reminded you that when I was shopping for boats how I PM'd you about your SeaArk boat. I wasn't talking smack to you and your little PAL jigmaster. I gave my opinion and you called us the TFF CJ. Just because my opinion is different than yours or your little friend gives you no right to attack my opinion or intellect as you did. I could care less what you have on your boat. You didn't ask me. The OP asked opinions and I gave mine. I then said I agreed with what okieBob said. I guess that was smack talking in your book. I said in my PM I was sorry if I offended you. You still get that apology but nothing else. So take that and be glad you got it. I'm done with you and your PAL.  Im glad your done !! Now go hang out at that DQ with all them know it Alls and drink your coffee ..

Do the I-pilots drain more battery life than a foot controlled? I would think so with it constantly being engaged especially if its windy and trying to hold on one spot.

Haha man yall are toooo funny...how long the 4 of you been married? This ain't Chevy or ford, those boys are laying in the same bed, ain't but two things to do. With that said, I don't believe a trolling motor is gonna make or break a fisher, just roll with what you are comfortable with.

Those who are Mercury outboard aficionados might consider that Motorguide and Merc are both owned by Brunswick. Those Humminbird fish finder guys are probably aware that Johnson Outdoors owns both HB and Minnkota. The Johnson in Johnson Outdoors is part of the SC Johnson family (wax) nothing to do with Johnson outboards.
I've abused my Minnkota to the point that I marvel at how it somehow manages to keep operating without fail. Never owned a motor guide so can't comment. And I agree somewhat with tundra rich your trolling motor brand isn't going to catch the fish for you. It may help get you or keep you close to them but it ain't going to help you convince them to get in the boat with you. Your trolling motor also can't tell you where to look for the fish (at least not yet).
Buy the one you like even if it's just because you like one color better than the other. Go fishing as often as you can and enjoy it!
