    You're fine Sherman, no overstepping noted. That's the approach I'm taking here. Someone getting started with riggers and wants electrics over manuals. I started with small manuals, upgraded to Uni-Troll manuals and then to the Mag10's. Don't know why I waited so long. I took everything related to these off the boat so it'd be easy for someone to install them. No buying bases, power cords, etc. Everything is there. Would even make a nice backup pair.

    Don’t take the ring off,let it out as long as it takes to hit bottom,run the diver on a 1.5,setting and at 1.5-1.8 mph you should be ticking bottom at 300’ out in around 130 fow

    Thank you!! I have a mag diver with a ring.. should I remove that ring to avoid losing it? I would have to let probably close to 300 feet out on zero setting to get close to 120-140, don't have a probe or smart troll yet. Haven't had a Dipsy touch the bottom yet, but will give it a whirl.

    Thank you !! I'm pretty sure I am using a hammerhead cowbell with a spin n glo. Can I find a gambler rig at fat Nancy's or Sonny's? This will be for Lake Ontario, and finger lakes. Does the shape of the weight matter?

    Shocked nobody wants these, open to offers:-)

    If anyone knows where to buy these in bulk please let me know but these are the ‘coil spring fasteners’. The down side to Seth Green Rigs would be, they are not as easy as free fighting a fish on a down rigger rod, you have to stop to take leaders off if you chose to use more than one and they are not fun for kids just learning. But, i love them.

    Harvey O Hara (spelling) used to sell 40 oz weights with a ‘fin’ to keep the weight from spinning. Suttons would also have everything you needed. The only thing i dont like about suttons is the reel they used to sell with the rod but thats just me. The rod is heavier with a roller tip.

    Seth Green Rigs. The Sutton Company in NAPLES used to sell them pre-rigged. Maybe they still do. But IMO they are better (more effective) than down riggers by far! They are also better at keeping fleas off. 40 oz weight on the bottom of your line followed by beaded chain swivels every XX amount of feet with ‘coil spring’ fasteners attached to the beaded swivels for the leaders. Fyi.. You need a bigger reel

    Sk8 - Here's part of Sodus Bay: Simply put your cursor over the rectangle you're interested in and zoom in. It may take a few seconds to come up. (keep zooming till you get the detail you want) They don't have all the fingers but here's parts of Seneca, Cayuga and Oneida. Here's part of Champlain: Have fun playing with it.

    You needed your first mate to take some of those fish so you weren’t so wiped out!! 🤣 I live thru you on days like this!

    NOAA Custom Chart Huh? Did you copy/paste it in your browser?

    Laker fishing definitely not my thing but unfortunately have to fish for them from time to time and other dragging bells through the mud on riggers you can run mag divers on wire with a dodger and spin-n-glow and get down in that range and they will produce and usually produce bigger fish.if you can get the diver to tick bottom,that’s even better.any white/green or the yellow with orange dot dodger, I think they are like 8” and a big spin-n-glow will work,gambler,here on the lou site sells everything you need to catch lakers.

    I think there may be a problem with the link to the site

    1 - Eyelets could be bent or twisted 2 - At that depth, turns could be too short 3 - At that depth, leads could be too long. You didn't say if you switched sides with the weights. Easy way to tell if you've entered an area with a different current is with a constant RPM, watch your down speed.

    I had this problem with my Herbie weights I was using blacks releases on my cables and it was happening frequently when currents were bad I went to offshore and Scotty pinch pad releases and attached them to the back of the weight. Problem solved
  24. LongLine
    If following depth contours, then there's some great structure there.

    i know this is a old add but are they still available
  26. GAMBLER
    If your boat is crabbing bad and there is current on top of it, you can cross rigger cables letting a rigger down on the side the other cable is leaning to.
  27. GAMBLER
    You can run a wire thumper rig. Use a three way swivel, a 1lb weight and your cowbells. Run a 3-4' dropper for the 1lb weight. Let it out until you hit bottom. Let it settle and let it out to bump again. dragging the weight will get you more hits. Fighting lakers this way is not fun but very productive. I highly recommend Hammerhead Cowbells and Gambler Rigs!

    Maybe you switched the position of the sharks or you accidentally bent something on one of them. Another solution would be getting rid of the sharks (I hate them) and switch to torpedos
