How shallow do you holeshot?

[RFeyoMN]

2ft of water under the boat. I keep my boat underpropped for this exact reason.

[mikesxpress]

2.5 foot while red fishing on flats. Large tabs!!! Eliminates any hole shot issues, comes up flat, and lets you step up in prop sizes.

[Jet Mech]

2 ft. Let er Eat!!!!

LMAO!

[06 SB]

I prefer 3' or more. I like 4 blades for this reason. I do not run a foil but would if needed.

[skeeterator]

A lot of our creeks off the ohio river are only a couple of feet deep, makes getting out of them fun. Done it lots of times in 18 inches, also drug bottom more times than I can count trying to do it in 12 inches lol.

[Riccochet]

3' for a straight shot, 2' and I'll drive in circles until planed out.

^^^^^^^^^^ Or you'll be idling for hours... 1.5ft and pedal to the metal... Dan

I run a hi 5 and have a hydraulic plate so I'm kind of cheating but I like at least a foot and a half on my console graph if it's a soft bottom.

Ok, I need a video of the "Florida Spin"

[cwilt]

i am good with 2.5 ft of water... i can get up spinning her around in 1.5 ft of water. only do this on soft bottom.

[BMCD]

remember if your depth finder says 2ft at idle ur in 3 ft. Fished livingston this week and several occasions i was seeing less then 2 ft on my depth finder when i took off. The bottom is soft.

[magnumb]

My gauge says 3ft, but really it's 4.5

[ArtTricks]

you guys are crazy... 1.5' and 2'.... :D .... i need a video

[BOATS]

4-5 feet anything less I will turn hard starboard then come up in a hard turn then straighten out.

[KMcClure]

2.4 was the shallowest I got up. I do it all the time from 2.4-3.0 and never hit. 18' boat with 6" jackplate

[mikesjet]

I have started to fish the Potomac a lot and 3ft is my minimum. If I know there is stone or rock, 4ft. It seems down there you could idle for days to find deeper water.

my finder is offset, so it is actually correct. 2 feet of water on the finder is actuall 2.5 feet of water. + or - an inch or so.

[Fish Loco]

Jackplate all the way up 3 feet let her eat

[bass.man65]

Graph reads 1.5 , jackplate up I am good to go , no spin necessary, but that sho really doesnt dig down

This and I'am running a heavy ranger 521. 18in of water is all i need
