    Can a fixed diver be used like a slide diver?

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Can someone explain the setup for using a fixed dipsy diver like a slide diver.  I have read some place on this site about guys using dipsy diver like a slide diver.  Using some type of pinch pad type releases that you can put on a fixed dipsy that will allow the diver to be connect to the wire after you let out say 25 feet of wire.  It will run just like a slide diver, but you don’t have the difficulty related to storing the slide divers or the need to go out and buy a set of slide divers.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Weighted Steel – VS – Copper Depths

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Going to put some more time and effort with the Weight Steel the next couple of months.  A couple of  years ago I had one rod setup with a 200-feet Weighted Steel and it was very productive.  Sometimes it was the only things that would fire on the boat.  So, I have a few questions.

    First question is does everyone agree that the obtainable depths using copper can be obtained using the weighted steel assuming you are using the 19 stranded wire with the Weighted Steel?

    Second question does anyone have a chart for the copper depths base on length?  I understand this is just a baseline as boat speed and what lure (flasher/Fly or spoon) is connected will make a big difference.  Looking for the following depths for these copper lengths: 50, 100, 200 and 400 feet of copper. 

    If someone has a depth chart for Weighted Steel that would be very helpful. 

    Thank you for your time.

    WTB an old-style Big Jon Electric Down-rigger

    WTB an old-style Big Jon Electric Down-rigger - Trying to make the jump from manual down-riggers to an electric down-rigger.  Looking for small low-profile rigger like a Big Jon.  Going to start with one for now as am not sure about my charging systems from my motor.  Don’t mind if it is the old-style low torque motor.  Just the fact of having an electric unit and not getting a sore arm during the summer will be a plus.  Thank you.

    Barney and Bear's 33rd Annual Trout Derby on Cayuga Lake

    in Finger Lakes Discussion

    Posted

    Fisherdude,

    Bear is working very hard to establish a second weigh-in station for future tournaments.  He has spent a lot of time speaking to several people about how to do this and improve the tournaments.  I don’t think you understand how difficult this can be.  It involves several things like getting another certified scale in Cayuga county if you are going to have it up north on the end east side of the lake.  If you have it at Long Point State Park you need to get permission and approvals from NYS Parks and don’t forget about the money for the scale, time and another person to run the weigh-in station.  This is proving to be more difficult than most people understand.  Bear acknowledges the situation and is trying to work something out for future tournaments but like anything it takes time and money.  Thank you

    Attached is the entry form for the 2018 Barney and Bear's Fall Trout and Bass Derby.  You can sign up at Bear's Baits, located at Myers Park in Lansing, New York.  Attached is the entry form below.  As many of you know Bear has been working very hard to establish a second weigh-in station.  He did obtain permission to use Long Point State Park, however, he is now encountering problems obtaining two certified scales.  The second scale at Long Point State Park would need to be certified in Cayuga County according to NYS Weights and Measures. For this year, we will continue to use only one weight-in station at Myers Park and hope to have this issue resolved for next year's tournaments.  Any questions please contact Bear at 607-387-5576.
