Updated through the Oswego Pro AM. Screamer in 1st Vision Quest in the runner up Will boil down to last event more than likely.... https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/97ee3c68-8684-42cf-a9b4-4256d5595c8c/downloads/2023LOCSD2Standings07.12.23.pdf?ver=1689166168841 Still a few events to go. If anyone sees any errors that effect the top 10 or other, please let me know. There are a lot of numbers to tally as the season progresses. Captain Pete

Division II update through Orleans. Lots of events left to catch Team Screamer. https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/97ee3c68-8684-42cf-a9b4-4256d5595c8c/downloads/2023LOCSD2Standings-0001.pdf?ver=1686663627676

I will add a couple more things. Some of the guys using braid also use it for depth. They happen to be deeeeep meat guys and feel braid allows more depth/less line. Casey for sure likes braid for that reason, esp when has has to laker fish a lot during the season. We catch a lot of browns when in BT mode. Our best rigger is usually our deepest with 15 ft ball to spoon lead. Lastly, one of the reasons wire divers catch fish and a lot of big fish, is the same hummmm. Its the same steel except smaller diameter. When we want stealth/fishing high, we use 20# mono and divers for the non-humm/stealth plus allows us to get mono lil further out on sides (divers run on a 3 to 4 setting-dialed) out for high salmon/trout OR skinny water stagers/fish browns. But deeper run diver fish hardly resist wire diver offerings. VS Braid Catch em up this season seeyawader. Captain Pete V.Q.

Wire rocks on riggers ! We catch lots of rigger fish-tight and even high. Would never switch. My 2 cents. Lots of fish also drawn into downrigger sets-some bite-some curious. May be the wire/weights but it works, Captain Pete V.Q.
