I used my 60hp yamaha tiller with the rpm's set as low as possible and worked my way up and down a point this past weekend. It produced a lot of walleye. When we marked a fish we pretty much got a bite every time. We were using 1/4 jigs in around 17 feet of water and minnows. I try not to use my spot lock at all anymore unless it is fairly calm. I find i catch way more fish using an anchor with the rope attached to the bow eye of my boat and then tied off to a front cleat. If it isnt too windy i just use a carribeaner to attach the rope to the bow eye. If it is windy i use a bungee system i made attached to the bow eye to act as a shock absorber.
