Can you use your trolling motor to reposition your boat if you have a sucker out? I know motor trolling is illegal on the flowage, and I see guys row trolling every year. But if I am drifting along a shoreline with a sucker, can you use the trolling motor to keep your boat from spinning around in the wind? Just as you would do if you were lindy rigging for walleyes essentially. I guess I'm just nervous to even have my trolling motor in the water as this could be left to in interpretation to a warden. What do you guys do?
