Made a first trip of the year this morning, mostly to test the new trolling motor and lowrance hds integration ( nmea to control trolling motor from the hds, allows to set cruise speed and course )

Very wavy and windy, cccccold as well.
Went between 25-10ft to test the HDS and see where we can mark the fish.
Marked only few fish during 2h trip, mostly at 18-25 range, fish was at ~10-15ft, no bites though.

Encountered bunch of nets as well towards Leamington, big fishing rigs apparently started setting them at 20-30ft range atm, so had to avoid large area.

What trolling motor do you have that integrates with your Lowrance ? Sounds like a great Lake Erie Walleye setup !

Using Lowrance HDS 7 Live and Motorguide Xi 5 80lb, it needs NMEA 2000 gateway to connect both together, but works nicely!
I mostly wanted it for setting desired precise speed versus setting power level and watching speed + setting path for trolling on the map
