The distance from the fasher/dodger to the fly/lure is critical for success.

Check out these snubbers I found . They look awesome I am looking forward to using them . Swivel on both ends of the downrigger snubbers. Not like scotty or amish brand .

Traditional.... like dacron?
 
Im currently using 200# braid. Comparing braid to dacron isnt even fair.
1- braid doesn't absorb water 
2- zero stretch
3- smaller diameter
4- releases slide better
5- lasts longer
6- durability
 
dacron tends to get water soak and sag in the water. Once your towline starts sagging in the water then your boards tend to lag. Never an issue with braid.

 
 
Weight doesnt matter its all about performance. Most boards do the job but attention needs to be paid on proper setup. Tough to beat the performance of the Big Jons using braid as towline.

I have heard a lot of good things about the Amish Outfitters plastic planer boards. Thinking of getting a set myself this year

Are these run-on mono or wire for Browns

Don't get me wrong I love the reel and the drag is fantastic. Absolutely love my forties on my downrigger rods. It just feels awkward with it being a smaller reel on a large rod. I think it would be fantastic on an 8-foot rod.

Definitely a clunky reel. That is why you see more Tekotas as wire reels

I'm Sorry by too small I mean it feels uncomfortable on the rod .

The 30’s line counters hold 1000’ of wire so not sure what you mean too small?  If using 19 strand wire it will only hold 900’. 

Is anybody using the Daiwa saltist 40 for wire . Last year I upgraded my trolling reels to Daiwa saltist 40s with 30lb mono for my downrigger rods and saltist 30s for wire. I find the 30s to be a bit small for the 10 foot rod. Is anybody using the forties with backing and wire for wire dipsies . I'm thinking of getting the 40's for wire and putting the 30s on my medium power spoon rods. Thanks to all

How much copper can I get on a Seagate 60. I made my first copper set up last year it was 300 yards of 50lb Power Pro with 300 feet of 45 lb Blood Run copper. How much more can I get on the real I would love to make a 400 this year.

FISH ON!!!!

Thinking of making one last run with my dad Saturday. Is anybody doing anything in closer to shore other than circles in the harbor and combat fishing. Don't really want to go offshore for steelhead would rather fish for mature Kings. I know they're doing stuff in front of Salmon River but I don't have the temperament for that. Thank you to all

Apparently, Crestliner is still making boats with all-welded construction today, and you don't hear any problems with the new Crestliners.

Seen some strange things on the cam today. I think one is a kite and a sail of some sort

Yup he pretty much nailed it. Inline planer boards, some diving stickbaits, bottom bouncers (1-3oz), crawler harnesses, slow death rigs, jigging raps and blade baits. That's basically everything I use to fish Oneida for walleye. I kept my 18ft aluminum boat specifically to fish Oneida and will be keeping the 23ft glass boat docked up at Ontario next season. I did manage to get out fairly regularly with the 18ft on Ontario though. 

Tangled around itself. Sometimes it won't eve realise when it gets wrapped

Not sure from description whether you mean tangling of both divers together or tangling of your attractor/lure with the diver. I do wonder though if the screw holding the weight in place may be loosening up allowing it to "flop" back and forth perhaps? The weights do move a little inside the covering on mine and I have over a dozen of them that do it[emoji2].

I'm having a small issue with Dreamweaver deeper divers. It seems as though I've had two tangles on my last two trips out. I have never had this problem with luhr Jensen. And I have been fishing divers for years so I know to let them out slow. I can hear the weight shaking around inside both of my divers. I'm not sure if that is the problem on why things are twisting or if that is normal or not. Has anybody else had issues with the dream Weavers or is it normal for the weight to move around. I fished them on number two and number three setting.
