That’s kinda where my comment was trying to go Matt. You just put it more straight forward! Lol! Totally agree. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I would spool your reels with wire. Cuts the water well and achieves better depth. When I first started with divers, a mentor told me to use wire... So split a 1000’ spool on 2 reels and backed it with 40# mono, it worked well until a tangle left me with under 225’ of wire on one. Broke off, lost everything, dipsy, flasher, fly. [emoji30] Since, I’ve spooled all 1000’ on my reels. A bit more expensive but, it’s better to be able to trim pigtails and kinks in the end when you have 1000 on the reel. IMHO from my short experience trolling deep Water. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

What size? Setting? Speed? Size wire? It all depends. You kinda have to test it out for your boat and style. For me with magnum dipsys,30# 7-strand, at 2.3ish over ground.... normally run 1.5 setting, 200’ out gives approximately 80’ down. 300’ about 110’.

Great job! I'll never forget my first, as mentioned by others. And beware, my obsession is border line a problem. Seriously, like I need to go to meetings! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Nice Clark! Always nice to get family out on the boat, even better to get them some nice fish!!! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Headed out of Stony this morning and hit the Trench... large rollers on the way out. Ended up landing one. 2 came off. One broke the leader, one was user error. A good amount of short hits that came off. Flasher/Fly bite. Both riggers and dipsys got action. Salmon seemed to be hanging out of temperature. - GBL Puffer II: 1802 Trophy Green Boat: 1966 Starcraft Mariner-V 14 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I think that's a good idea. I only run two corner riggers on my boat. If your set up will be easier and maybe a little quicker, then I think it would help a lot. Then run your dipsys out the sides and your still running the same number of rods, with different presentations for the fish. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

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

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.
