Chinook- Is the float your mentioning something that is rigged by the fisherman, or is it purchased in the store? I am interested to see the picture of the float- that sounds like it would help keep lines away from each other.

Thanks shade- when being run down the chute, does the rod have to be directly (or close) to the center of the boat- or say can it be off set by 3 feet without getting a mess with downriggers?

I know there have been many threads on copper, but I have never run it and would like some basic info about it. What is a popular way of running copper? Off mass planer boards, off church/walleye boards? What does the expression "down the chute, or "down the middle" mean? They come in different feet amounts i know, 200-600 I believe I see the most. If running say a 400' copper, does all 400 have to be let out? It seems that they are really producing lots of fish, but they are pricey, AND I am not an expert fisherman- I do well with downriggers and dipsys, but do not tear it up. Is it worth spending the money and getting a copper rig for a 2 weekend a month recreational fisherman like myself? Anything else that could help a beginner to copper would help as well. Thanks gentleman

I have some NK spoons that are black with white bellys. Do they work on Lake Ontario? Should I try latter tape on the white belly,and if so what color or combinations? Thanks Griz

I have a 1973 Starcraft. It needs a paint job, what type of paint works the best on aluminum boats? Its 23 feet long- any price estimates are appreciated as well. Thanks

I have several black fronts with scallop tape and the backs are pearl, they are Northern Kings- they have been ineffective, would placing ladder back tape on the back give them a better chance to catch fish... any colors??
