K, Winter is here, new flys have been tied, new spoons have been painted, gear has been cleaned, repaired, serviced, various catalogs have been perused over and over again......is there a magazine out there covering the sport of trolling?, what do you guys recommend?

Oooooooooooooooooouch

I must have been thinking about that laker in the smoker out back , anyhow use to use the small Northland slurpies in watermelon & or pumpkin seed, Bass Pro use to carry them, but I see they & Northland no longer carry them , I probably will be using Southern Pro's Original Lil Hustlers in pumpkin seed this year http://www.landbigfish.com/tacklestore/ ... m?PID=1312 if I find something better I'll let ya know

We usually fish in 40 FOW, hittin the weed beds, finese fishing style 2 hooks #4's, Smoky Joe grubs, watermelon color, pencil weight at the bottom ...1/2 ounce, cast out, work back to the boat slowly & always in contact with the bottom, A GREAT USE OF FIRELINE CRYSTAL 8#, will outfish minnows day in & day out!, like I said, especially if you live so close to Severne!, visit daily you'll see the "floatilla" of boats out there & when their a cast away from shore docks ( a little more, but not much more) HIT IT!

Fishin Ed December on till April, for me a good spot is Severne(free), just North of the launch.........unload boat fish in the nearest bay (within 100 yds) look for the "floatilla" of boats that are together, if you live locally just visit the launch on & off, when the boats get off shore approx 100' I usually hit it!

You got mail MJB Marty

Where is this boat located?

Instead of: Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling? New to Trout & Salmon trolling? Don't be afraid to ask a question about anything! The LOU community is filled with some of the most experienced sport fishermen this lake has ever seen. Should just say: See Ray or Searay or C-Ray

hahahahaha ................... wait aren't we all naked?!?!?!?

hahahahaha I'm very teachable...... & I understand about that free boat

Ray you must be a "God" of LOU I have Dipsy diver questions....& who answers but YOU ....I have top questions & who answers but you! appreciate the offer of hooking up, my boat won't happen till May of next year, just trying to decide on products before hand, right now still Jon boating the smaller lakes, I live in Horseheads on Veteran Hill, IN FACT the person who got me HOOKED on this style of fishing is my next door neighbor Sean Brown of Reel Hooked Up Charters , in fact I have another charter planned with him on September 18th

I'm looking for some recommendations on manufacturers out there that manufacture "sport tops" for a Tracker style Deep V with walk through windshield, the style of sport top I'm looking for would have headroom, while standing up, clear view out the front, side curtains, & possibly maybe have a back curtain, see through, for just the cockpit area? Any recommendations & help would be appreciated, Thank You In Advance, Marty

Thanks Trap Jaw!, sounds like good sage advice!

I gotsta buy the book (Precision trolling big water edition) & then input ALL the varibles, boat speed, water temp, lure drag, line drag, diminishing results, water column thickness, flea build up, & how one holds his mouth when fishing , I'll buy then post BUT....once again THANKS! for the input! GREAT SITE LOU!

Thanks CBish, thats what I like about this site!, ALL its "variable" knowledge Thanks for your input!, thanks to all!

^5's, lol another one is born, kudos to Dad for getting it mounted & you for taking him out!, think how many more (fisherman) will be born from it just looking at it........everyone of his freinds will want to try that! GREAT JOB DAD & UNC!

lol Ray........had to be a "BOOYAA" huh? or at least a few OMG's! in a row huh?

Thanks Kingnuke32 & K Gonefishin, really should break down & part with $40 bucks for percision trolling bible. I have been a small lake warmwater fisherman for life, recently been chartering lake trout boats...bad mistake! because now I'm hooked big time!, new deep V boat. When I did charter I noticed that we got a majority of our fish off Dipsy divers on wire line, a few were caught on downriggers but alot on the divers, @ 53 years young (& NO kids at home anymore!) I have some $, so a boat is a big investment this late in life, so I thought I would forgo the riggers & pick up 4 dipsy diver wired rigged pole/reel combos & high quality rod holders for outfitting the new boat. Most lengtth out on this charter boat was 125' & were using 001 Dipsys, most fish were at the 70-90' mark & they were coming up to be caught outside the edges of the bait pods. I know that electronics are another big advantage & will be investing in a quality unit (charter boat was using Lawrence) & I know alot of the game is knowing where the bait pods are & the surrounding "predators", but only half the equation until you know what your equipment is running. I thought maybe there was an individual out there that might have the knowledge from experience to say "while using 30# wire line w/ a dipsy diver add ....20 ' to the manufacturers chart I want it all lol. Anyhow I know there is alot of varibles water column temp, line diameter, lure drag, side running compared to straight out the back in the chute....etc. etc. etc.

yeah, I was just looking at the chart for mono again 175' of line out w/o "o" ring = 70' depth @ a base plate setting of 0 (out the chute) 150' out with the "o" ring..........using fencemans 2.5 ratio it works out the same & I know that 30# 7 strand wire will go deeper. Maybe if I said I was using a 001 dipsy.......maybe I should contact Luhr Jensen great now I'm rambling in code!

Thanks guys! , Ray I think I got some info from the "coded" message , anyhow Fenceman, is that straight out the back in the "chute" or like Ray pointed out does it vary with different side settings on the dipsey?

The internet is a beautiful thing but............ I can find ALL SORTS of charts out there for the depths a Dipsy Diver can achieve with & without added disc using mono, but is there anything out there chart wise that shows achievable depths using 30# 7 strand wire? besides just saying it will go deeper? or is there anybody out there with this info? any help would be appreciated, Thank You in advance, Marty
