Shortdrift

Thanks for the replys. Last year we used copper for the Dipsys and 20# mono on the downriggers. I'll have a new boat this year and plan to set it up as follows: Two Dipsy rods with stainless wire. Two downrigger rods with 20# mono unless you feel 25 or 30 would be better. Was also considering Fle Flicker mono. One rod with copper. I will run the Dipsys and donrigger of each side and the copper straight back. Is straight back what you refer to as the "chute"? Any additional comments and suggestions will be appreciated.

Last year was the first time I fished Lake Ontario out of Point Breeze. We did manage 22 fish, a mix of Kings, Coho and Steelhead. Found out that our Power Pro as used in Lake Erie was bad news with the flea problem so we went with copper on the Dipdy rods and mono on the downriggers. I plan to be better prepared for this year and ask for your comments and reasons regarding the use of copper versus stainless on my Dipsy rods.

Shortdrift is the name and I primarily fish Lake Erie, Western and Central Basin. I currently own a Lund but have it up for sale at this time. Chased walleye for years and just started targeting steelhead this season. Fished the Niagra River for Kings through the years and decided to try Lake Ontario this year. WOW!!! Those river fish are nothing compared to the lake fish. Hope to make a few trips to Ontarioin 2008.
