dippsey diver

Didn't hit em quite as good today but still wound up with a nice bunch. We got a pair of the Final Approach Eliminator blinds on sale for $90 bucks last week and although they certainly made things much drier and more comfortable we need to do some work to get them right for us. Ours are 'Prairie' which will work nice w/ stalks once we get onto the corn pieces but for grass the way we rigged our burlap covers made it take to long to reset so our best flock wound up not committing. I need another one and I do want another light weight unit so I'm looking at the Avery Power Hunter. The Power Hunter looks like it has a better head cover for taller,bigger people which would be good for me. -Andy

I am a big guy n i hunted out of a power hunter it is very uncomfortable for big men it is a sleeping bag with a cover for you head. I have a eliminator blind for about 6 seosons i love it it is def. fat man friendly

i ran dipseys with flasher/fly combos with wire yesterday for the first time in 2 years (hadn't been on lake O for 2 yrs - i mostly fish the fingerlakes)

we caught some fish off the wire, but i don't really like fishing with wire (it isn't pliable and doesn't come off the reel as nicely as braid). My understanding is that wire helps get a little deeper with dipseys.

What are thr advantages of using wire, COMPARED TO USING 80 POUND BRAID with the dipsey flasher combo?

thanks,

andre

I think the biggest diffrence is the fleas they really attach to the braided line. I like useing braid later in the season when the fleas are not so bad i run #60 braid

Hey DD remember back in the 90's when you could land 30 fish from shore in one day! Those were some great times! Good to see that the shore fishing is coming back a little! Good year class of Landlocks you got too! You should have stayed at my Mom's house in Ithaca, instead of coming up here! Catch ya later!

oh ya, but that was lot of lakers mixed in didn't run an egg sinker all day. i know i should of stayed their i regret doing that but still had great day all in all.

Had some friends of mine put in a half day of shore fishing Cayuga lake on Saturday! they got 2 legal browns and 5 (4-5lb.) landlocks, but oddly no lakers! They were all caught on sawbellies and slip bobbers in 40 feet of water!

hey snagger it was 6 landlocks landed and 2 browns no lakers landed becouse u wern't their fishing for them all rods had bobbers on them . gave a guy their a dead sawbellie he landed a 7lb lakes on bottom he was so happy he must of thanked me 5 times. BOBBER DOWN!!!!!! just like the old days hope their back for good.

Good to see you made it on here, theres alot of boat fishing info on here! I'm not a trolling Wizard like you are! Catch ya later, got to get ready for tomorrow, Jay's coming up!
