    Trust me - Ive spent many hours untangling the messes I've created. I got a 400 steel (both the steel and the braid backer) wrapped up in my wire dipsey and meat rig two weeks ago...braid is a special beast with the ability to wrap itself tightly around anything it comes in contact with...after about two hours of trying to sort it out I ended up with ~125' steel and most of the dipsey wire saved. Ive found that having a few key backups (I have doubles of each rod/reel set-up down below) helps to avoid frustration and lost time on the water - I just toss the tangled mess down below to deal with onshore and pull up something clean that I can get back in the water. I fish like **** when I am all pissed off trying to untangle my messes... If you'd like to come out with me sometime for Id love the help DM me if interested - I get out quite a bit!

    Stupid me for thinking anyone in the world is actually honest, just bought a 93 baha 29ft and found out the transom has severe rot. I am inexperienced with that sort of thing. I asked the guy if it/transom was good he of course said yep its fine. We'll its not fine so now he is ghosting me rather than being a decent human and at least give me part of my money back to help pay for the repair. Does anyone know of a boat repair guy that won't charge a fortune to rebuild a transom? Pretty much screwed right now.

    Flying solo can be a lot of work but also a lot of fun. Wait till you get a double or even triple on. Had a triple on once and that was near heart attack time!

    Take a straight edge (cardboard or pc of wood) and hold alongside the shark from nose to tail. Over a few months of storing Herbies on their side, I've seen soft lead take a slight bend. Easy to check and eliminate.

    If I ever had 20 hookups in a handful of hours during the middle of the day, I would sell my boat and everything else and call it. Last weekend I spent an hour trying to untangle a dipsey and a rigger setup that got twisted up when my autopilot freaked and started turning a circle. That was fun.

    Anybody guess when algae will clear on Cayuga?

    At one time, I was using 12# pancake weights, and just to give me piece of mind, I bent the back fin to one side and the other weight to the other side, and I could see the difference in how far to the side the cable was running and never had them cross. Check and see if a fin has gotten bent, as that would cause your problem, and like others have recommended, switch sides with your weights.

    The only problem I can think of with divers is too much drag on them, and they roll over and stop working. As far as getting deep with divers, is the Lite Bite slide diver has a 7 oz weight kit for going deep. I can get down to 65' or more with the stanDard weight and small ring, so I'm guessing the 7 oz weight and large ring would get you very deep. And you always have the option of using wire. But dipsy's, deeper divers, slide divers will all turn with just a deep diving crank bait. so your limited to what you can use with them.

    I started out using home made riggers on Lake Michigan back in 77, and after breaking the booms in rough water, I bought some others. Then I used manual up until a few years ago. Then I got a little money and was watching electric riggers on eBay, and 2 different sellers were having a price war on Big Jon Pro Tournament riggers, and when the price hit 500.00 each and free shipping, I ended up buying 4 of them. But after using all 4 on my small boat, I sold 2 of them and still use 2. I walleye fish Erie's central basin and run 3 lite bite slide divers and 1 rigger per side.

    Jigging lakers on Lake Ontario is way harder than Cayuga. You don't have the big currents we have on Lake Ontario.
  25. glh456
    We catch many lakers on Cayuga this way.
  26. glh456
    Stop trolling and try jigging.
