Post Bow or transom mounted trolling motor for gators
I heard bow mounted motors spook them due to the vibrations. I've seen rigs with both. What are y'all's thoughts?

Never had an issue I only have a few tags and we shoot them free swimming and close the distance with that set up.

Unfortunately we can't do that in GA. Before we shoot them they have to tethered to a line. I always thought it had more to do with pressure than anything else, but I figured if get some other opinions.
