I want to be clutch with the spinner but can’t seem to get the bites to build my confidence. I’ve landed a few , but nothing consistent. The minute I say fuck it, and switch back to a finesse rig, I hook up immediately. So I know i’m in fishy water. Hoping to get some opinions from you all.

As the days get shorter, I’d like to fish past 3-4pm without stressing that I need get back to the launch before darkness sets in. I’ve also
beenin a few situations where some mean looking clouds have started rolling in when I’m on the water and then I feel stressed about being off the water with possible lightning and start to prematurely pack it in, only to have them pass without incident. I feel a motor would lessen my anxiety. Anyone have recommendations under $350?
And anyone who currently has an electric fin, feels a difference in how the SUP tracks and moves though water when it’s not on? Lastly, anyone damage theirs accidentally while on the water, hoping I don’t buy one and catch it on an underwater obstruction and break it.
Lastly, I’m NY once you put a motor on , it needs to be registered at DMV, I’m hoping a fin motor is way more stealthlty option then a trolling motor and if it’s not on, it’s under the radar.
Thanks for any advice.
