I don't have a trolling motor on my boat but can ussually successfully fish birds.
But I do not try to fish a set of birds that is currently being fished by other fisherman. I go up wind and kill the motor a good 100-150 yards out and let the wind drift me in.
Now what really ticks me off is when boats with trolling motors rush in and cut my drift off. If they want to fish the birds that I was drifting that's fine but they have to stay out of drift. Just because you use a trolling motor doesn't give you the right to be inconsiderate of people who don't. The same goes when birds start working around anchored boats. I have been anchored out and all of a sudden the birds start working fifty yards from me and the armada flies in. We are anchored because we don't want to join the circus so please don't bring the circus to us.
