I have used the Minn Kota 112 Thrust Terrova with I-Pilot for a couple of months now. As a guide I wanted to give the clients the entire front deck. I now have the ability to sit in the back of the boat and control the boat with the wireless. It is phenominal.
But to address the original question of the cable steer vs. the wireless. I have used the cable steer for years. I never had any problems with the cables and yes it was instantaneous foot control. Since switching to the wireless I find the boat to be roomier since there is no foot pedal to walk around and I have more stamina since I am not on one leg all day. Both are good but only one gives you freedom...the wireless electric steer
PS...Minn Kota sells the retractable adapter plates as an accessory. I strongly believe it should be included with the unit since launching and loading without the adapter plate can cause a lot of damage to your TM as it will hang on your bow roller.
I have said this for years. When I tell my clients that they can expect the better fish from 10am to 2pm they usually think I have a screw loose. I am not sure of the science of this theory but over the years I have been on the water....I am a believer that the bigger fish will feed around midday.
There are canals everywhere between Homestead and Ft. Lauderdale. Depending on where you are staying. The AeroJet canal just south of Homestead on US 1 has a great bank on the north west side that will give you a full day of fishing.
Eric call Dons Marine in Broward. he is off E. Cypress and US 1 or he can make a house call. Tell him i told you about him. If you have any questions call me. His number is 954-245-8419
I fish the SE corner of the lake out of Slims Fish camp. I am usually throwing a Big EZ, frog, spinnerbaits or a bluegill chatterbait on the grass edges. Kramer island, Grassy and Pelican Bay keep me busy. Rita Island always hold fish. There are big fish being caught daily
I have had two consecutive trips out there the last two days. We had 89 and 107 for the two trips. Today I moved north and my three clients boated 301 bass. I know....just another fish story.... Nope the client kept a clicker counter attatched to his columbia shirt. There were three guys and they were in shock just three hours into the trip. That was not counting my fish Love the glades in the spring!
