    dipsey settings

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    Posted

    Hi,

    I need some help understanding the settings on the dipsey. On the moveable weight on the bottom there is an arrow pointing R & an arrow pointing L with their corresponding numbers, 1-3. If I set the weight in the direction of the L arrow, does it mean the dispey will go left when in the water and therefore run it on the port side of the boat?

    Thanks & Boat Safe

    Face the front of your boat. Left side is port and right side is starboard. When facing front of boat, use left dipsy settings for the rod on the left ( port) side of the boat and right dipsy settings for the right ( starboard) Rod.

    Now you know why starboard and Port is used on a boat instead of right and left. Idiots making dipsies should have used starboard and port and not left and right.....

    Alewife are sold certfied but not on the green list. You are not reading the regs. correctly. Most of your post is correct.

     

    Your friends could be contributing to the spread of an invasive species and possibly the spread of diseases.

     

    According to the regulations, if your friends are transporting alewives around the state, they are breaking the law. Alewives cannot be certified as bait in New York State because they are an invasive species and only allowed to be used in the waters they are taken from, PERIOD. Maybe that lady sells other bait that is certified. Or maybe she is selling bait illegally. Also if you read the regulations, in New York State, you can only use alewives in the body of water they are caught in and the only places they can be transported by car is along narrow corridors along Lakes Ontario and Erie and along a narrow corridor along a certain part of the Hudson River. Transporting them anywhere else within the state is illegal even from one finger lake to another and technically, even from one end of a finger lake to the other end by car (by boat is ok). So technically, on the finger lakes, or anyplace in the state other than the transportation corridors, they can only be sold or purchased, on the lake shore (or trib. to first barrier) to be taken directly into the lake they were caught in to be used for bait.

     

    I have a friend who has ponds and used to sell fathead minnows to fishermen years ago but now, since he would need to certify his ponds every year, for a fee, it is not worth it to him anymore. It is only worth it now to bait farms who sell mass quantities to bait shops. and hatcheries.

     

    I agree with Justtracy...

     

    Muskie - maybe I'm misunderstanding your post, but it's completely legal to transport certified Alewives (i.e Familiar Bite products) in NY if I'm not mistaken? Am I missing something?

     

    Please clarify - thanks,

    I completely disagree with abandoning the spoons. Why would you ever stop running something that's catching silver fish? Do what Tim says above. Run your baits deeper. Also running meat on a deep rigger in the ice cold water 42-48 degrees can work well for bigger chinook.

    Spoons work all day long and from spring to fall

    Mix in flashers and flies though but I wouldn't run just one spoon for sake of just catching bigger fish

    Good luck

    I have a 27# king I boated solo the second year I owned my boat. Aftera 45 minute fiasco of everything behind my boat being tangled and a battle of two wills, I landed him after he hit a free slider on one of my riggers. I jumped up and down, swore a million times, played air guitar, you name it after he hit the deck.

     

    He now resides on my wall.......I remember it like it was yesterday.

     

    Nothing like those solo battles my friend..... keep at it

     

    Good luck,

    Correcting Down Rigger weight tracking

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Great recommendations, I will try it on the port side to see how it tracks but what does not make sense is that with both riggers at the same depth starboard side had the 12# torpedo and the port had the 10# ball the ball tracked straight back and the torpedo was wide right. (facing the back of the boat). Tonight I put the torpedo in a jig making sure the bottom fin was 90 degrees with my angle finder and then checked the top loop and it is off 5 degrees. I will check it this weekend on the water before changing anything and see how it tracks on the port side. I ran with it four of the seven days last week during an annual trip to Sodus and direction, depth, and speed had no discernible effect on the way it tracked. I found turning the boom out to 45 degrees was the only thing that kept it directly off the back corner of the boat. I did not try the port side however as I bought the heavier weight to try to compensate for the blow back caused by the subtroll on the starboard rigger.

     

    I can't complain about additional time on the water to figure this out.

     

    Thanks again

    That top loop, like I said in my earlier post, being 5 degrees off from the fin is turning your weight into a Dipsy Diver (similar to when you adjust the center of gravity by turning the weight dial).

    Go out and first and foremost have fun. Don't overthink your program and don't beat yourself up when you lose a fish (to me this is the most heartbreaking thing when fishing a tourney and seems to generate the most anxiety).

     

    1.) Sharpen your hooks

    2.) Check all leaders, knots, etc for any wear and tear

    3.) Put out your best spread early

    4.) Pay attention to little things like speed, depth, direction of troll and don't forget to make a mental note of these things when a fish hits (often you'll forget to do these things b/c you're focused on landing the fish and then you'll be asking yourself questions later.)

    5.) Use meat - it often will catch a big boy

    6.) Have fun, have fun, have fun

     

    Good luck,

    Hey brother Anthony,

     

    It was a blast being back on the water and thanks so much for heading out despite your Achilles issue earlier in the year!!

     

    Anthony always knows where to find the fish, despite the weather and not so ideal conditions.

     

    We always have a great time and it was so great to be back on the big lake. Thanks again bud for some great laughs and a few fish to boot........

     

    Chris
