I don't know of anything commercially available but have seen a lot of guys make brackets that use the existing bolt pattern for the riggers - made out of thin metal - they literally sandwich that plate between the mount and the rigger and extend back beyond the rigger.

Why ?

I've had a couple this year hooked in the side. I think the fish takes a swing at a spoon and misses and the hook grabs the eel... just an assumption... Nick

Looking to mount a Garmin 10” GPS in the back of the boat. I currently have downriggers mounted on the transom. Is there a bracket I can use to mount them to the down rigger? They are Mag 10s matt

FIshed Wilson to the Bar Friday150-325FOW marked little. Best water was 150 to 220'. finished 2 for 2 plus a couple throw backs. Saw few nets moving anywhere. All bites came between 20 and 60 down. Saturday fished in front of the plant east of Olcott, finished 4 for 4 plus 1 dink we drowned and kept. ALso 2 healthy throw backs. all bites came between 20 and 70 down. Five and 7 color lead plus 70 rigger caught fish. Fog was definitley a limiting factor in our range from port. Best water was 125 to 175'. Sunday AM, returned to the plant East of Olcott, same water fished for a few hrs to produce a steelhead and a drive by on a rigger at 60 down. Foggy. Best summary I could give was the weekend was a grinder most boats we talked to at the dock did similar or worse. Did get a Coast Guard safety inspection in Olcott tho maybe the weekend trophy was the sticker!

Does anyone employ side scan while trolling this lake to help locate fish/bait? I’ve heard of people doing it before but not really sure which range setting I should have the screen set too(if I should say have the bottom within view on the screen or just within 200’ or so)? Any tips or tricks for this would be very helpful. Running garmin transducers with 260khz and 455khz channels for side view
