    Kings are spread from 120-500. They are following bait. The bait has started to "break up" into smaller groups and spread out. Find the bait and most likely you will find a fish or 2 though not all bait pods will have fish on them. I know guys who have done well in 150 and at the same time the guys in 500 are having just as much luck. Don't be afraid to cover lots of water Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I had mine in a flush mount rod holder (30*) or so. You can run it about 45* or better but I'd make sure that the drag is loose. I also secured the reel with a strap (bungee) as extra security measure 'Bout Time Mike

    I run 3 riggers off and 8.5' beam boat. Two off the corners at 90* and one of the center with my probe. My current program is flashers off the corners and a clean spoon down the middle. All the riggers are at least 10' apart in the water column My question is how many run spinnies/flashers on all 3? A majority of my fish (90 %) are off flasher setups and I'm just looking for a way to capitalize more.

    I experimented last year with a "chute" diver. I ran two riggers on each corner out 90* and two side divers on a "2" setting. I then ran one diver down the chute on a "0" setting. It took many fish and worked well. I highly suggest NOT doing it when the currents are strong though. Let it out extremely slow and keep the boat straight as it is deployed. Wide turns as well Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    I have the Cush it and it works well if the rod handler has good control. For younger kids I prefer I belt. It keeps the rod butt in position and doesn't allow any slip. Sometimes with the Cush it if you don't apply down pressure to keep it against your body it will slip. I just picked up an extra belt from Gander @ 30% off cost me about 10 bucks. I do pull the pin out of the cup and it works well. I already had a belt on board that was a little too big for their waste but it is easily rectified by just placing a towel or sweatshirt between the belt and their backs Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Side doesn't matter. Mine is on the starboard side (left as looking back from my seat). I do a lot of solo fishing and wish it was on the other side to offset my weight and even out the boat more Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    That will work but you really want something that the line can slide through. The boards swing in and out and with the waves causing the planer board line to jump up and down will more than likely cause the line to come out of the Weldon release Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I use Scotty power grip. They work great. I run 450 and 600' with no problems. You can buy a "stacker" and cut the line between them making 2 singles for cheaper Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    You have to make a "tether line". Basically it's a separate line with a clip that is small enough to prevent the releases to go through. I just use Scotty clips only because that's what I had laying around. I've seen guys use carabiners, dog clips, etc. this helps keep the release from going down and you use this to pull the main line in to attach a new fishing line to.

    It's a meat set up from ATOMMIK. 3 teasers with a Rhys Davis meat head. Most commonly pulled behind a green 11" paddle. Pic below is from one of Tony Buffa's trip. 'Bout Time Mike

    Started setting lines at 645 and by 945 we were 6 for 9. All Kings (12-23lbs). I worked a 3/4 mile area between 140-180 FOW and never left. White green dot spin dr / stud fly produced 5 of the fish off riggers at 135, 140, and 124. 390 dipsey ripped out to over 700 before it became unbuttoned- that was a green dot chip green crinkle fly. 600 copper took a fish pulling a "cannonball rig". Lost two more off riggers pulling matador chip and sweet pea fly. 'Bout Time Mike

    they are generally meant to be used for larger flashers. you can use them with 8" and still have success. One thing I do on some is I cut the lead just after the teasers and install either a barrel swivel or a snap on the end. I also install a snap on the tag end of the meat head. This gives me the option of running teasers with the meat head or just removing the teasers and run the meat head directly to the paddle. I can also change the meat head color anytime I want and use the same teasers

    One good thing about running them with spin Drs and Small paddles is you can run shorter leads off riggers. I've run as short as 10' with very good success. My starting point is always +\- 15' with these and adjust from there. On a "meat bite" day these are deadly off your Dipsies. 'Bout Time Mike

    For my particular setup I run anywhere from 24-32" for plain cut bait heads. If I am using teasers I will stretch it from 32-40". I use the same rule as my fly program. Shorter lengths for Spin DRs and longer for Paddles Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  21. bout time
    I run my Spin Drs with 18-22" leads and for Echip paddles I run longer leads of 22-25". As far as leads off the ball I always start with my standard 12-15' and let the fish tell me. If I am getting a lot of streakers but no takers I will adjust one longer and shorten one up and see what works that particular day Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Can the app be used without a data plan? I have a tablet that does built in GPS but no data plan on it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Last night provided some solid action. Did a laker, 16lb King, and a 28+ lb King. I've never seen so much bait in my life 'Bout Time Mike

    Afternoon trip out of FH produced. Started slow with a laker but found some huge bait pods. Started working the bait pods as I saw some fish scattered through. 300 dipsy ripped out to almost 700. 16 lb King in the net, 15 minutes later 120 rigger fires and after a great fight 28+ lb King hit the deck.

    Bruzer axle to axle is 18 at rest and 15 @ draw Vs. Ten point 22.6 at rest vs. 19 @ draw. I do almost all tree stand hunting so I am leaning towards the bruzer for the compact design Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
