Lake fishing - Utah
So I have a 12ft fishing raft with a trolling motor. I have never really done the trolling fishing before. Not sure what sort of setup I need as far as rod/reel/tackle etc. Any good places to get my trolling on?

Ice should be coming off Strawberry and Scofield soon if not already.
Give me a shout I gots plenty of extra gear.
We could probably hook that trolling motor on the driftboat and get the troll on a little more comfortably."When the child was a child it waited patiently for the first snow and it still does"- Van "The Man" Morrison

Mang, that sux. In CO you don't have to register it unless the motor is over 5hp. You might want to check. Slay some piggies!

yeah, I looked into it a bunch last year, and finally ended up having to not only register the boat, but title it too. Luckily, since it's not exactly a cheap walmart rubber raft, it has a HID# etc, so I was able to get it titled and registered. The next dumb thing about it is that if I have the trolling motor or a gas motor mounted to it (it will take a small outboard) I can't have any alcohol in the boat under utah state law. However, if I have the boat out on the water without the motor mounted to it and am just paddling it, I'm allowed to have alcohol. Lame.
It's a fun little boat though. Fits two people a dog and a cooler of beer and gear quite nicely. I like the fact that it has wood floor boards so that you can stand up and walk around in it(cant do that in most rafts except a few like the zodiac). Like the fact tha tit has trolling rod holders built into the raft and a really tough nylon polyurethane coated shell so you can take it into really swampy branchy shit without puncturing the hole."JONG!!!!!" is the sound a lift tower makes when a gaper runs into it.

$114 to register the driftboat this year which basically gets me an electric motor and a couple trips to Strawberry. What a racket...you have to register a pontooner if you put a 35lbthrust electric on it!

yeah, my electric works, although I fear how long my battery will last on it (have a series 27 battery, deep cycle). I don't know how much thrust it has, but I think its in the 35 lb range on high power. I would really like to get a nice 2.5 or 3hp motor for it.

I'm usually always available for any type of fishing. Don't have a boat or trolling motor but have a big cooler stuffed with beer.
Seriously, I would love to get out fishin' with some maggots. PM me anytime.
