Last weekend they were in the 90 150. And 200 to 300. Focus 60 to 80 foot down. Try to get you surface troll at a 2 to 2.5 mph. Best to have a speed and temp unit at the ball but work with what u got. Good luck.

I'm assuming you mean feet. I run em 5 to 10 feet off the ball and make sure that none of your other riggers are within 10 feet. That's how I prefer to run mine anyways. Can always Put them on coppers or dipsys to really get them out and away.

How long are your leads off the ball?

You were right about holding it down. I assumed just clickin it down would stop it. Thanks again.

Thank Gambler. I'll give it a try tonight and see what happens. I Really hope it's not the board.

Perfect. Thanks

This is the older style cannon 20's I believe (Came with the Boat), anyways the thing flys up and down but say I'm botton bouncing lakers I cant bounce bottom and come up a few feet without the rigger pulling the weight all the way up. It has the auto stop feature but I would assume I could stop it after I pull it up a few feet. If I push the toggle down it stops for a second and wether I continue holding it down or not it starts pulling up again. Not really a big deal for kings but as far as getting down to browns or lakers this makes things kind of complicated and a guessing game with blowback. Any ideas as to if it's supposed to be like this or theres something going on. I've had the slower mag 10's before with auto stop so I'm assuming its the riggers. I replaced the power cables on one of the tow this year and everything internally looked fine and I sealed it up good. Both of them do it.

Yeah guess that makes sense. Lol

Think you said that backwards. Lol

With spoons speed can be a huge factor. Its about getting the right speed to get them to perform right and some work better in high speeds than others. Earlier in the year in my experience seems to be more of a spoon bite where as the year goes on it turns into a flasher fly bite. As far as spoon choices Northern Kings, Finger Lakes Tackle, Dreamweaver, and Stinger tend to be the most popular. A good down speed/temperature unit really helps in dialing in the correct speed. I've had variences where im doing 2.2 surface/GPS speed and at the ball im over 3 mph which is high enough for some spoons to just roll rather than wobble. Thats really all I got. There's some good fisherman on this site and If they have anything else I'm sure they'll chime in.

I was blasting em around the first week of June with some good size too. Perhaps a few days of west wind will get them going. I just hope they show up by the Sodus Pro Am or its going to be a brown tournament.
