Agreeing with Ray. Currents were nasty out there. Nothing worse than looking back at you dipsy and its crossing your rigger. Best thing my partner and i try to do is go into the current. The blow back can be an issue which is where a probe comes in handy. Just because your line counter on your rigger says 100' doesnt mean anything. To reach that area you may need to let out an extra 20' or so. Theres a fish hawk 840 for sale in the classifieds for $250. Anyways we got another NE wind 10 to 20 today (Tuesday) Rest of the week isnt looking to good either. Dies by thursday its game on!

With a 1000 ft wire is backing necessary? Ive read it is and isnt. I was given my dipsy rod setup but not sure if theres backing or not. Any ways im upgrading to Okuma Convector 30's and was wonderig if i needed it.

Great looking steel! Would've loved to pull into him on my flyrod. [ Post made via iPhone ]

I think that count begins in spring and lasts through fall. It's not just for the summer. [ Post made via iPhone ]

White board green dot spinny with green hammer time fly. 42 second spinny/fly. Mtn dew crush glow spinny with green crinkle or silver hammer time fly. Those are my 3 favorite but anything white, blue, or green will get some looks. Purples can be productive on overcast days or right before dark. However key thing is to get down to the fish. I dipsy up in the rocket launcher isn't going to get the same depth you hear on the radio when someone says 250 back. Also when your marking fish don't drop you balls to right where they're at. Fish tend too look up when they feed. Hope this helps [ Post made via iPhone ]

Also a 600 copper won't fit on that size with backing [ Post made via iPhone ]

Feel like it would defeat the purpose of the fight. Plus more fail points for the line to break. I would go small if you were going to do that but seems a little excessive. Post how it works if u try it. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Thinking about ordering a set of these for my riggers, wire, and copper. Obviously I'll need different size reels for these applications but I was just wondering if anybody has any experience with these reels. Probably going to pair with blue diamond rods. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Wow your first salmon was a 36 pounder?! Welcome to the LOU family. [ Post made via iPhone ]

It really depends on water temperature but ad far as dates go mid September is probably average. [ Post made via iPhone ]

Count me in. Ran pretty much everything but meat [ Post made via iPhone ]

Theres fish outside the bay. If you troll between 100 and 220 feet of water you should be able to find them. Got a nice cold front moving in tho Wednesday so well see how they respond to that. [ Post made via iPhone ]

What is a twinkie rig?

I painted mine in an NBK pattern. Keep finding teeth marks on my balls

B-E had 20# last I knew [ Post made via iPhone ]

Great Day man. I love getting out with my father and creating those memories. I'm sure there will be many more to come for both of us.

Oh my god. Perfect for anal fish [ Post made via iPhone ]

Dang wish I was out Friday the 13th. I netted 4 shoplifters while slow trolling kmart but would have much rather been out on the lake:( [ Post made via iPhone ]

Knot strength. Failed knots can be the most agonizing way to lose a fish [ Post made via iPhone ]
