    Wire Divers

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Definitely add divers, some days that's all that fire. I use the Eagle Claw 10' diver rods but there are many great rods same with reels which I have run the Cabelas Depthmasters with great results. I run 1000' of wire straight on the reel, no backing. To attach to a swivel double the wire on the end and tie an over hand knot making a loop, push the loop thru the swivel eye and feed the loop over the bottom of the swivel and pull tight, trim the tag end and fish. Just be careful the wire doesn't kink, you won't be sorry you added to your spread I'm sure.

    coming from Maine and looking to fish Mexico bay looking at Pulaski NY looking at salmon river ramp. I wasn't sure if there are other laws or rules for using my boat on the lake for trolling over the state laws.

    By Salmon River ramp I'm guessing you mean Port Ontario? Not a big fan of that ramp myself. With a 16' boat you could go to Pine Grove which also is on the Salmon River not far away. I prefer Mexico which is farther towards Oswego, lots of parking and plenty of dock space but still a quick run to the big river if you want.

    No double keel.  put in on TX-44 did not plane out always back behind the boat.Put it out on otter boats still the same thing.Should I try double keel? I think 450 cooper should overboard bout had enough.

    I've never had problems with 44's. I myself haven't used the Otters but those I know that do use the double keel and have no problems pulling coppers.

    FarmerChris copper and dipsy divers are used to get your lure down to where the fish are and at the same time get back away from the boat. Put the coppers on boards and now you're away from the back and on the sides, making a bigger, wider spread with the theory being the fish are boat/cable shy. Some days the only strikes come on these lines. Depth of both depend on how much line is out, speed and current. Just some more tools in the tool box. As far as braid or wire, I run both but mostly wire.

    You can weld conduit easy enough. Mig is the easiest but old fashioned arc works also especially Sch40 due to the thickness. Biggest thing is like mentioned you want to ventilate good and don't breath the fumes. Also after you weld you want to paint over weld with cold galvanize or the welds will rust in no time. I worked at a fence company years back and made a few rocket launchers for boats this way. 

    Favorite plugs?

    The Cut Plug and Green Glow Black Ladder Back. They worked 30+ years ago and still work for late season kings. I will also stack a #3 or run one off a dipsey now and then when I'm on kings.

    Very simple explanation to the kids.  Turn off the dam tv, especially the news.  If you watch a liberal news station then they only broadcast the liberal views.  I was a law enforcement officer for 25 years. I can't tell you how many times what the news reports is completely false or the opposite of what actually happened.  My wife was so worried about what the news report compared to what really happened when I explained it to her in person. 

     

    Not one of us was there when these alleged p'.sy grabbing comments were made.  I guess no one understands that voice bytes and recordings can be changed to hurt someone.  We do live in the 21st century.  

     

    God help you you if you think this country would be in better hands if "she" became president.

    You're right on about the media. I've been in emergency services for over 30 yrs and they print/say what they want not what you tell them. There's now a few that I don't even acknowledge due to this fact simple as that.

    Twas the Night Before Inauguration!
    Twas the night before Inauguration, and up in the tower, 
    The Donald reflected on his newfound power. 
    The conservative masses had come out in force, 
    And delivered a victory that would chart a new course.
    The snowflakes were shell-shocked with tears in their eyes, 
    The media lied to them . . . What a surprise. 
    They had been promised a Hillary win, 
    But the criminal Clinton took one on the chin.
    And though from all corners celebrities flew, 
    They made no impression, for they hadn’t a clue. 
    They talked about climate, racism, and such, 
    And they made up good stories . . . But didn’t know much.
    The fake news and ignorance came at a cost, 
    And they can’t understand all the reasons they lost. 
    They blame it on Comey and Bernie and Vlad, 
    But fail to acknowledge the one that was bad.
    Yes, Hillary Clinton, in many ways flawed, 
    Was her own biggest hurdle toward getting the nod. 
    The campaign exposed her corruptness and greed, 
    And her speeches were punch-less as ten dollar weed.
    So out in the streets there arose such a clatter, 
    It was Soros-paid protestors and Black Lives Matter. 
    With cities to pillage and windows to smash, 
    They knew not the issues, but needed the cash.
    Eight years of Obama had given them cause, 
    To expect a replacement of their Santa Claus. 
    But soon the protestors will feel the pain, 
    When the wheels fall off of the old gravy train.
    And now all the snowflakes are riddled with fear, 
    Upset and offended by things that they’ll hear. 
    The cocoa and crayons will help for a while, 
    But fact-based opinions will soon cramp their style.
    I originally supported, and voted, for Cruz, 
    In the end, I would vote for whoever they choose. 
    He wasn’t my first choice, but soon I would cede, 
    The one they call Trump is the one that we need.
    I saw him on TV in front of a crowd, 
    He spoke about veterans, it made me feel proud. 
    He spoke about energy, safety, and jobs, 
    Taking this country back from the Washington snobs.
    He was dressed in Armani, all tailored and neat, 
    And the Brunos he wore made the outfit complete. 
    For a man of his vintage, he seemed rather fit, 
    And he looked presidential, I have to admit.
    His eyes glowed like embers, his smile was the best, 
    And his hair was the color of my old hunting vest. 
    His love for this country was on full display, 
    And his actions spoke louder than his words could say.
    He thanked all his voters, and before he was gone, 
    Saved thousands of jobs while Obama looked on. 
    The fate of this country left nothing to chance, 
    So, he filled out his cabinet weeks in advance.
    The men he had chosen were of the same mind, 
    Let’s set the bar high, and not lead from behind. 
    He picked up his phone as he rose from his seat, 
    With a flick of his finger, he sent out this tweet;
    “Now Mattis!, now Kelly!’ now Sessions! And Pruitt! 
    On Perry! On Flynn, You’re the ones who can do it. 
    Start lifting restrictions and building the wall, 
    Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”;
    The roar of his audience rose from the stands, 
    He kissed all their babies and shook all their hands. 
    He answered their questions and calmed all their fears, 
    They knew it would be a fantastic four years.
    Then he jumped in his limo, and off to his jet, 
    A fellow that Liberals won’t soon forget. 
    He sent one more tweet as the evening expired; 
    “Happy Inauguration to all, 
    AND OBAMA – YOU’RE FIRED!”
