Great catch!! I love seeing us guys on small boats getting the big dogs!! [ Post made via iPhone ]

Try running a leader off the ff with a swivel. I run the 30 and just uni-to-uni knot a 10 ft leader. But I don't run dodgers or spinnys off those rods...just spoons. I did have the same problem reeling in a mupp rig with two spoons that twisted around each other. I run the dodgers or spinnys on different rods with 30 lbs big game. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Check your leader for nicks. The only time I lost a set-up was when i had a nicked leader. I had a feeling we had dragged bottom at one point that day. An hour later hooked a fish and it broke my buddy off and took the new green dot spinny and Ron's morning wood fly. [ Post made via iPhone ]

You don't want to run a dipsey on copper line. The weight of copper alone takes your lure down based on how much you have spooled up. Are you referring to stainless wire line? That's what you run dipseys on. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Use mono instead of floro. It has better knot strength. Make sure the knot is tied correctly and you wet it before pulling it tight. I use 30 lbs big game and the trilene knot. [ Post made via iPhone ]

The gander on rt 81 north of syracuse has very very limited selection of trolling stuff. I wouldnt even waste my time stopping there. Go right to lil jons, all seasons or fat nancies. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Don't you use 30 or 40 between dipsey and flasher? I have no problems with the 30 lbs ff. I use uni to uni knots. It's almost impossible to tie a knot onto a small spro swivel. I do what Tim does with a 200 ft section of the ff tied onto 20 lbs big game then a leader. [ Post made via iPhone ]

As far as how to catch you have a lot of reading to do on this forum. Hard to say in one post. Read the reports section and you will see most people report speed, depth, lures, etc. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Yes....but pick your days wisely. That boat is kind of a shallow v. You should be ok on days that are 1 ft or less with little wind. Chop doesn't really effect the bite if you can keep a steady speed. When you use a downrigger you use a line release that holds the line to your weight. Fish hits and releases the line. You see the rod tip pop-up and grab the rod and reel it in. You leave the weight where you set it in the water. Then reel it in after landing the fish. Reset it and fish for another. Best time is usually early morning. But some days it doesn't matter. Your motor is fine for trolling. I use a 90 hp mercury 2-stroke. Good luck! [ Post made via iPhone ]

If i was in your shoes I would buy a white with green dots spin dr and a chrome pattern echip board. Flies: hammer, pro am glow, mirage. A hand full of mag spoons. And launch at Mexico and head for the nuke plant. Run it all off the riggers. Fish the marks. [ Post made via iPhone ]

I just ordered 20# online from "cold water tackle" for $10.95/spool. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Don't waste your money. Way better spoon company's out there. Ones that actually deliver goods in a timely matter. I placed an order with them 3 months ago and after 2 months got my money back, only by filing a claim through PayPal. Give Bfuller a shot! He's got some posts on here with pics of some of his killer patterns. Also: dreamweaver, yeck and moonshine have some great patterns and hold up well. [ Post made via iPhone ]

The sharks are very reasonably priced. But then they are insane with the shipping prices! [ Post made via iPhone ]

Check out Amish outfitters. I just roll up the leader around the flasher and put em in the slot of a dreamweaver flasher box. [ Post made via iPhone ]
