Copper rod and reel combos
sabonation replied to RD9's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Can you use copper on planar boards? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Does anyone ever catch fish on spoons w dipsys anymore? It seems the only action I get on the divers is with flasher fly combos. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'm curious why you would lengthen your lead on cheated spoons? What's the reason behind that? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yes!! Lots of days where they catch all the fish.Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Even when I run ff on dipsys I only have a 2 or 3 ft leader from dipsy to the spin doc and a 20 inch leader to the fly. the whole rig ends up being about 6-7 ft. Makes netting fish a lot easier! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yea but if that's not working try shorter! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Used to do a lot of walleye fishing on the big E and we always used long leads on them. 50 or 100 ft from the ball bc they were more spooky and there is less current to deal with. Until some old timer up here told us about short leads we had no idea. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Every day is different. Sometimes they like it close, sometimes they don't. I can tell you that I have caught both salmon and steelies as close as 2 ft from the ball. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The currents down there are pretty nasty at times. Longer leads are affected by currents more. With spin docs I usually set 8-15 ft. Spoons 2-15 ft. Meat rigs I send back farther to get a nice slow roll. Salmon and steelies are actually attracted to all that commotion. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Troll 4 or 6 rods?
sabonation replied to SALMONBOY35's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Definately doesn't hurt! Especially when the bait is scattered or up high. Plus you'll get into some good steelie action at times! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

sabonation replied to SALMONBOY35's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I usually run 4 riggers and 2 dipsys with good success. The salmon and trout are actually attracted to your downrigger balls so no need to worry about spooking them. I always separate them depth wise bc of the ever changing conditions and temps on the lake. This will also help avoid tangles as well. Remember it is also hard to keep lines straight when it is rough out. --keep a tight line-- Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

Hey thanks for the info! About how many ft of backing do you use. I run the Magda 45s. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
I've used 30 lb flea flicker line for years and never have a problem. My dipsy rods will accumulate 3 or 4 feet of them but it doesn't seem to hurt bc its not at the lure and we still get bites on them Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hey how do you back your dipsy rod with braid? What kind of knot do you tie to splice it? -
That's crazy. We nailed a nice 23 pounder in 220 fow down 80 on a glow spoon early. Shortly after lost another king at the boat on a slider in 250, along w a laker on a dipsy 250 back. Then we slid out past 300 and picked up a teen down 70 and a nice steelie on a dipsy flaser fly back 250. You headed out tommorrow at all? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hey we are in the white trophy left behind you at the dock. We boated a 23 lb king this morning down 85 on a glow spoon in 220 fow. A couple at 70 down. Action slowed pushed out to 300 plus got a teen. We lost our probe. Is it really that cold down there? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Lake Ontario United mobile app
