About Jack Gaither
Expertise
I have been bass, crappie, brim and catfishing for over 60 years. Most of my recent experience has been on the Apalachicola R. in Fl. panhandle, Dead Lakes and Lake Seminole. I can answer many questions on places to go and some ideas on tactics especially for largemouth bass in these waters. I can`t tell you what fish will bite but can give some lures and methods that have worked well for me over the last 33 years in this area. I am also well versed on boating safety and small boat handling.
Experience
I am not a guide nor a writer or publisher of any magazine on fishing. All of my ideas would come from my experiences and those of fishing partners in local bass clubs in Panama City, Florida.
Organizations
Basmasters. Past member (25 years) and instructor in boating and navigation classes in the United States Power Squadrons.
Publications
ST. Andrew Bay Power Squadron local publication "Stuffing Box"
Education/Credentials
United States Power Squadrons courses in Piloting and small boat handling, celestial navigation, trouble shooting on outboard engines and other non eletronic equipment in boats.

Subject: trolling motor insallation
Question
I just installed a new Minn Kota Edge trolling motor (65 # thrust) and I cant get it ti stow properly. When I lay it down it will stow, but it is bends the shaft. I've tried moving the shaft, making it shorter, longer, but it still wont lay flat.
Answer
Davey, Contact your dealer where you bought the motor. If he will not give you service contact the company directly giving them the details of what is happening. It could be that it is installed improperly or something was damaged in shipment or quality control at the factory screwed up. Do not give up until they make it good.
If you continue to have problems getting it taken care of contact me again and I will see if I can revive Mrs. Johnson the CEO of Johnson motors who make the Minn-Kota.
I had a problem with mine and couldn't get anything done but when I found her address and mailed her directly it was quickly taken care of.
If you can't get it taken care of give me an e-mail and I will see what I can do.
