    Observation using panoptix

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    Posted

    The father-in-law had the port side and was running shorter leads and seemed to be getting more bites. I usually set my spoons 20-25 ft back (FF combo 10 ft). Got a couple releases, but not as many as him. After noticing the fish on the rigger weights I shortened up and took more strikes. The weights were black Attomik 15.5 lb torpedo weights. I was also running a free slider, 8 ft (length of rod). I could see it was 20 feet down and there was a 5 ft bow in the line from blow back.

    Was finally able to get out trolling lake O with the ps30 mounted ‘sideways’ on the transom. We would frequently see fish approach and stay right on the downrigger weights. We were running spoons and I usually put them back 20-25 feet. After making this observation, we shortened leads to 10-15 feet. I have video but am not sure how to post from my phone.

    Garmin Panoptix for trolling

    I have the PS30, PS31, and lvs12. By far the best for trolling is the transom mounted PS30. I originally had it mounted like it was designed to be. Worked fine for salmon fishing because I use short leads off the ball, 10-20 feet. Could see the rotation of the flasher. Saw a video from some guys in Europe who mounted the PS30 ‘sideways’ using the mount for a PS31. The cone angle is 120 degrees which allows you to look forward and back a good distance. Didn’t get a chance to salmon fish this year but used it walleye fishing in Erie. In 60-70 fow, could see about 40 ft behind and 20 ft in front of boat (boat is 20ft). Both downrigger balls were still visible.
