This Saturday/Sunday was good. Made our annual trip and caught Kings and Cohos in 50 to 90 fow with riggers down 35-70 (set them where we saw marks) and dipseys on a 3 setting out 150 to 180 ft. Flasher fly, spinner with fly, j-plug, and gold mooselooke all took fish. I am a once a year Oswego guy, so others may have better/more detailed advice. Best of luck to ya.

I was planning on picking up some new weights to reduce blowback on my riggers. I typically run 8 lb balls, but have borrowed 12 lb fish shaped weights that had less blow back (and loved them). I was thinking on bumping up to a 15 lb weight. I have cannon dual crank 6 downriggers (manual) that seemed to handle the 12 lb weights no problem. Anyone have experience with a similar set up. Do you think the riggers can handle the 15 lb weights? Pancake, shark, or torpedo weights? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Great report hoping to get up that way in mid-August Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I used to use the Riviera short booms with 8 and 10 lb weights. I upgraded to "new" cannon dual crank 6 riggers. Lol. I honestly love them, but I used to like the rivieras. Never having owned or used electrics, I just may not know any better.

Thanks to all for the info. I think I will rig up some 40 or 50 lb leaders from the dipsey

I had several spin doctor set ups break off off my dipseys. Using 20 lb mono 5 to 8 ft leads. I test the releases every time I deploy them do I do not think those are too tight. Is the 20 lb mono too light for this application.

Can't buy a bite today out of oswego anyone else having luck

Out yesterday. Caught a tiny king down 100 ft of cable, a dink brown on a cheater above my 50' cable. And a 7.5 lb coho 69' of cable. All in 120 to 150 ft of water. Purple/white spin doc w/ purple fly took the coho. Green dolphin mag spoon, and a purple stingray size spoon took the dink fish.
