You can also use this technique to achieve the desired speed slipping down a river, if you feel like your going to burn through your batteries if you use your trolling motor only.
I bring extra batteries. I prefer all the control in my hand control trolling motor in this situations. Twist turn in less than a second. Current varies unless you are specific spot fishing the outboard will also need constant adjustment.
As far.as the initial question, it depends on where and how you want to fish. If tight precise maneuvers are required a tiller is a good choice as is a smaller boat. If not go with a counsole. I have one of each. My smaller boat is a tiller. I do troll with it but it's a pain alone because your eyes need to be in 3-4 places. My outboard also doesn't keep straight when a fish is on even though I tightened it.
