  1. What do you catch them with ? Can they be caught this time of year ?
  2. Do most people retie knots when changing or use loops for easier on/off ?
  3. Thank you so much fir taking the time to write such a complete and thoughtful answer. I appreciate your time. I will experiment a bit more next time out.
  4. Any help would be appreciated. Why can I sometimes see my diwnrigger balls and sometimes not ? Does current effect performance ? When I use deep water setting and range of 80 ft so I can see fish able water I lose the actual depth reading ? What adjustments should I be tweaking ? 83 or 200 ? Slow or fast pings ? Deep water setting or trolling mode ? One day screen looks great -- see everything and next day very fuzzy ?? Current/ direction/ trolling plate ??
  5. A couple of questions. 1) what kind of knot should I use to make loop in fly leader ? 2) what size swivel for connection to spoon? Do u use swivel ? With or without o ring ? 3)how to stop braid from slipping on reel --sometimes does , sometimes doesn't . Thx
  6. Sorry -I phrased the question wrong. Braid on downrigger rods ? Seems to be cutting release pads. Thx for response.
  7. What makes the flea problem better or worse ....certain times of year ?
  8. I am trying to learn the lake game and keep my kids interested. Only get out a dozen times probably and just bought a new lowrance hd elite 4. Here are a couple questions if anyone is willing to help. 1) I am literally not marking any fish .... Is this possible. I have marked bait balls and thermocline ( I think ) but no fish. 2) Was out today for a few hours and caught two small steelies. 3) when folks are talking about "other fish" .....as easier to catch.....lakers I am assuming .....what can I do different to catch something for the kids. I am running 2 riggers and 2 dipseys. Today ....3 spoons and one spin doctor. Speed around 2.3 and mainly between 200 and 400 feet right in front of olcott. Depth from 35-65. Lots of boats moving around so I'm guessing not a stellar day but who knows. Thanks for any ideas
  9. Thanks for all the advice.....I appreciate your time. Dan
