JTowne, as you go forward with the dipsys, you can still run your 2 corner riggers and 1 dipsy per side on a 1.5 or more setting, you should be ok, until you get the hang of it, then add in your boom riggers back into the game. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Yes, you should add dipsys to your spread. We've had days that our riggers never fired and dipsys took multiple hits. They do present differently, more like a long line with a noisy attractor on the end. I use the magnum size on wire in my spread. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Where do you have more experience? If it's a wash... what day? I should be out Thursday in the Trench and will report, good or bad. Not sure if it helps or not. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Click on the website, go to menu and click on rules. That should clear things up. Weigh in is a Bedford Creek Marina. - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

We fished North of the Finger this morning. Picked up 1 mature on our copper after a laker on a rigger. Then another laker. when picking up lines to move found out we were towing a small laker. Went back up, had a tangle and then picked up 2 more lakers. One on the copper, thought it was a salmon, reeled in 450 feet of line for a jumbo laker! Hahahaha. 6 for 6.

Stony and Henderson are both state launches. - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14

I would agree on trailering. You can launch at Stony Creek or Henderson. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

The Trench is roughly between Stony Island and the Mainland. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I'm not sure that the fly would move correctly to entice a hit with out the flasher making it pulse, but I could be wrong. Have you tried a 6' lead from dipsy to flasher, the 22-24" to fly? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks Les. I actually had to explain and demo for my brother 2 days ago cause he just plopped everything over the side and it immediately tangled in the rigger! 🤣 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I reel the diver with in a foot of the rod tip and hold the leader line or flasher (or terminal tackle) with one hand a tip the rod out to the side with the other. Then I gently toss the terminal tackle a few feet off the side and watch that is straightens out and is running right. Lastly I put it in the rod holder and back off the drag so the dipsy creeps out to my desired length. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Got my parents to watch the kids this morning and ran out with my lady before a little brunch at Tin Pan. Ran out to between the mountain and finger, it was a bit choppy and my lady got a little nauseous, so I pulled lines and ran into the Trench for flatter water. Found 46 degrees down 120, passed 7 pods like in the pics, never moved a rod. Hit 115 fow, pulled lines, and hit Tin Pan.

Haha! Well good to meet you out there! We had a king in the box and lost one before that. A laker took a FF on a mag dipsy right before you came up, we had just pulled lines when we passed. Did you find anything closer in the Trench? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
