  1. i have a 4 dipsy setup for this year but havent used it yet because im worried about tangles. my plan is to run the deep diver on a 1.5 on the holder closest to back of boat and second diver on 3 shallower on the next holder forward. my question is can i run the number 3 setting diver out over top the 1.5 diver that is already down? i can picture that 3 setting tangling the deep diver as it goes out to the side. thanks, mark 

  2. had a nice day in oswego today. it was quality not quantity today. fished west of port and found a productive area in 135FOW. went 5 for 6. 4 kings and one steelhead. dropped one screamer. landed  2 small kings, 1- 21 pounder and a 27 pounder and a small feisty steelhead. steelhead hit while letting out a leadcore with an orange mirage yeck spoon. big kings were all on the dipsies. white/silver SD with white fly and best setup was chrome chip with chart spots and silver/UV fly. wire dispy 225-250 out on number two. perfect rain free day! best, mark

  3. Launched at arneys by 6am this morning. Headed straight north out of the shoot and stopped in 110fow. Worked our way NW out to 190 and hit our first fish. 16# king on dipsey on #2 out 310', green glow kingfisher and fly. Worked that same area and managed 4 other bites. A small king on yeck mirage spoon slider, lake trout and dropped two fish. Laker came on a flat line with shallow stick. Other two bites were both on spoon sliders with riggers at 80-90'. Didnt mark a whole lot but did mark a fair amount of bait. Most of it deep and on bottom. Nice day on water and first king of the year from my boat. Seems weird after last years early start. best,  mark

  4. Rusty, we marked a themocline about halfway down the lake about 70' down. Happened to be in the same area where we found good bait and good fishing... This was memorial weekend when the north wind was cranking for days. Managed one small brown, the rest lakers. best, mark

  5. Fish the marks. I have hammered the Lakers in high 60 to low 70 degree water on skaneateles. When there was a big perch hatch. For me the speed at the ball is the most important.

    Exactly! Fish the marks. I rely heavily on my sonar/gps. I have the most confidence in my sonar. I think its easy to get too focused on down temp and miss alot of productive water. When im marking life on my sonar, im not too concerned about temps. best, mark

  6. I'm not too impressed with mine either. Granted ive only fished them a handful of times and for lake trout. Setting the drag to creep out on a wire dispy i have to give it some help for the first 20-30' and ive also noticed a little issue with the gear lever like mentioned above. I also have some brand new convectors on my rigger rods and am very happy with them. best, mark

  7. hi, im rigging up some blood run 60lb copper and cant get the line through spro power swivel twice. is this a problem? i twisted it tight and used shrink wrap. also, i used 50lb power pro for backing and did not put a section of mono in for planer board releases. i use weldon pinch pad and big scotty releases for copper, think they will slip on the braid with 300' of 60lb out? thanks, mark
