I am looking for cheap down rigger weights. 8 or 10 pound would be best. Used would be fine. Contact me here in the thread or PM me. I live in Niagara county. Matt

Thanks for the tips guys..... Will the same techniques work in the Spring when the fish are fresher and in close as well? I will let you all know how I do when I go out. Matt

Hi there folks, I am thinking of trying my hand at trolling at the mouth of Oak Orchard this Fall. I live pretty close to it, and it is a shorter drive than me going to Lake Erie for some perching this Fall, so I would like to give it a whirl. Problem is, I have never trolled for salmon before. I have trolled a bit using dipsey divers and bottom bouncers in Lake Erie for walleye, so I have two trolling rods with line counters---but not much else. I am not looking to buy enough tackle to become a charter captain, but was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what tackle AND technique a newbie might want to try. I am not looking to become an expert in 3 days, nor will I be upset if I give it a shot and don't catch much in my first few efforts while learning. I figured giving it a try in the Fall when the fish aren't so deep may be a good way to begin. Thanks for your help! Matt
