[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 445875, member: 21536"] I agree that safety should always be a concern and a priority. Seeing solo boaters trolling is pretty common on the lakes I frequent. When fishing with a partner, we may or may not stop trolling when we get a fish on. When I am by myself I always put the boat in neutral before I stand up to land a fish. I have an oversize net with a long handle. It is positioned so it is easy to grab when needed. I keep the deck area completely clear. I wear an auto inflatable PFD. When setting a rigger I’m sitting down. If windy, I troll with the wind while stripping line/setting the rigger. If it is really rough, I’m usually not there. If it becomes rough, I leave. Because I am often out by myself, I’ve been thinking about one of the wireless kill switch gizmos. They are pretty expensive. [/QUOTE]
