ELECTRIC TROLLING MOTORS - YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD CONSIDER ADDING ONE!

Electric trolling motors have changed shoreline fishing forever. These baby's can make a significant different on a fishing trip, they will take you to places your big motor doesn't want to go. With a huge selection of speeds, a large range of thrust to choose from along with remote controls, foot pedal controls, bow mounts, transom mounts, freshwater and saltwater models etc. You name it and it will be available from either MotorGuide or Minn Kota the two big names in electric trolling motors. In addition to the sophistication that is now available, the charging mechanisms, battery life and overall performance has greatly improved. Today's units are silent, the only real noise you hear is the rippling of water from the bow of the boat and even then you may need a hearing aid to detect the sound.

The ability to maneuver your boat into tight areas with great precision is invaluable on the water. The shoreline often holds some of the best fishing, Snook, Small and Large Mount Bass, Bonefish, Pike and many more species lay in the shade of a tree branch.

ROD HOLDERS ARE FOR 'SERIOUS FISHING' !

Fishing for salmon in Lake Michigan is a treat for any avid angler. On a hot August morning when you fire up the engines and head down the Manistee at 5:00 a.m. there couldn't be a better feeling. The night before you made sure all your gear is functional, rods, reels, rod holders, downriggers, GPS, fishfinder and rocket launchers.  The ride takes about 15 minutes depending on the height of the seas. Lake Michigan can be like the ocean when the wind kicks up, a bit scary for the novice and no joke for  the experienced seaman.

Once you reach the target the fishfinder identifies salmon in the area and the downriggers are lowered and the action begins. Just before daylight arrives you get the first call "Fish-On", oh boy it's a double! Get the other lines and downriggers up and out of the way this is going to be fun, but before they can be hauled up another fish is on the line, now it is getting hairy in the cockpit. Are we going to be able to get these fish in the boat, we still need the other lines cleared.

The lines are pulled and the rods are stuck in the rocket launcher, we have plenty of room now, get the net ready. Good thing we have a long handle this guy doesn't want to get near the boat and he still has a lot of fight left. Move him up slowly so we can get the net in behind him, ok he's in. What about the other fish, he is still jumping but I think he is hooked solid. Keep the boat on a straight path we don't want him to get under it. Now the net goes down and the fish comes in, another 17lb Salmon.
This is the best, we have only been fishing for 20 minutes and have two very nice salmon in the cooler. The rocket launcher came in handy and the adjustable rod holders from rodholderdepot.com helped make it a successful run. Now lets get the lines down and see if we can limit out.

Finally the time for angling approaches.

Well we are finally starting to see some activity at Rodholderdepot.com Maybe it's because the anglers are anxious to get on the water and perhaps nail some of those nice groupers in the Florida Keys.!

Why Choose Stainless Steel Rod Holders ?

Another Romantic Letter from John

It's no secret that plastic gets brittle after a few summers of hot sun and a few cold winters. The color fades and now the rod holders you thought were a buy are really not much to get excited about, in fact they begin to look shabby. You already have enough work keeping your boat clean and polished.

You need to think about making life easier and fishing more fun, so look to Stainless Steel Rod Holders. These may cost you a few dollars more but you won't be replacing them in a year or two. They look good basically forever with just a light cleaning. Very durable and strong when needed stainless steel holders make all the difference when you hook that big fish. When you are trolling and a large Dolphin or Tuna hit the line the stress on the equipment is enormous. You won't see many of the plastic versions on serious fishing vessels. Captains know that equipment has to be ready and reliable. We have seen cases where just the vibration from the boat motor has loosened fasteners and nearly ruin a great day on the water.

When you decide to upgrade or replace rod holders on your boat be sure to select a good grade of stainless steel like 316 stainless. The next step is to examine the rod holder design, make sure the quality is sound, look for defects in the finish, welds if any, fasteners should be high quality as well. Most importantly the attachment point to the boat itself such as clamps must be able to withstand the rigor of trolling for big fish, this means whether the rod holder is a clamp-on, bulkhead or flush mount it has to be extremely strong.

It is best to get a guarantee when you purchase any new equipment for your boat and this includes rod holders, most reputable dealers will have a money back or exchange policy just in case a problem arises. If you are interested new rod holders take a tour of our own site http://www.rodholderdepot.com  you will find a large selection and your satisfaction is guaranteed.
