we started out with a 300 copper,seems to get used the most on our boat.depending on what you are going for and what time of the year it may run to deep or not deep enough,but is a good starting point.once you get comfortable deploying and fishing 300,you can go on to longer ones if you want.first 50 feet are tough,but after that its not bad,just remember to let it out slow.if the reels you have wont work,you can always buy one "pre" rigged with the copper and backing from tom allen at at-tom-mic or any of the local tackle shops.

North Pond Channel Inlet (Condition?)
finsntins replied to bwconquest21's topic in Open Lake Discussion
i spent my first year in sandy pond with a 21 ft outboard and that was enough for me,the pond is nice,but the channel can be tricky.its all sand so you wont hurt anything,but the channel changes with every big blow and if its a little rough,good luck.im in the little salmon river now and never have to worry about bottom. -

Pretty much the same story all last week.some lakers to be had out by the plant from80 fow out to 150. -
I just had the same experience with them.after trading a guy from this site,who I won't name,my x4 for his x4d this past winter,I went to use it last week and I wasn't getting a down temp.i called fish hawk and explained what was happening.karen right away said it was the probe,she said the same thing,I will ship you one out today and 2 days later I had it.i guess the probe must have broke sitting in my closet over the winter.

Mexico 5/9
finsntins replied to GeckoGuy's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Look at the loc board,didn't even make 20 fish.i know conditions haven't been great,but I wonder if them getting extra attention last year cause the salmon were hard to come by has anything to do with it? -
I think your best bet is to call a Mercury dealer and give them your model number off the engine.i would think they would have a complete install kit for your specific engine.

Hey john,we gave up on Browns and just played with lakers out by the plant.fished between the red building and the stack wed. And Thursday.picked at them,had a good screen from time to time.other than that it's been tough.only bonus was a 13lb king solo on wed.fished 80 to 150 fow.best was riggers at 60 and 70 down.300 copper took a couple also. -
copper questions for a new guy
finsntins replied to mcconnell14's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Like lily said,you want to use s.s. Wire for dipsies,blood run or torpedo are two companies that make it.we run ours on 30 series line counters.1000 ft of wire with no backing fills the reel perfect.twilly tip on the rod.just tie a loop in the wire and run it through the eye of a snap swivel and pull the swivel back through the loop.we run a mono leader as long as the rod length from the dipsey to your lure of choice.blood run has a depth chart to give you an idea of amount of line out to the running depth of the dipsey.when letting the dipsey out.let it out slowly. -
Keep an eye on the reports,things can change quick,but like jusgrinnin said,we spent 5 days on the water and not much to show for it.some lakers in front of the plant 80 to 120 fow.
