When I have my 70# troller on 4 power, I am running banks at 2.7mph, when on 5 typically chasing gar or areas I want to cover faster I am about 3.2-3.4 mph. Even on 4 we sometimes will run on top a school of 3-10 fish piled up and just get initial shots off before blowing over so sometimes 2.7 mph seems a little fast.
Watching bowfishing shows, it appear that they are running way faster that 2-3mph.
So question for you troller, airboat and kicker guys that have true GPS speeds, how fast are you fishing for pleasure and/or tournaments? I heard once that a world champion guy ran a kicker around the banks at 8mph?
Since I have never fished with any long time tornament guys I am trying to see if I am running way to slow, just right, etc.
Thanks - Jeff
