I dont know the formula but we go out with a portable navi from car tells mph . One or two miles an hour thats like just putting it in drive.

Pick up a cheap GPS. That'll do the trick.

The cheap GPS is the trick and if still to fast a trolling plate will slow it down more....

I recommend you target faster fish!

Don't raise that bridge, lower the river...
