Boat in for the season at 9AM. Many thanks to the team at Arney's Marina. They are always a class act. Loaded the gear and were fishing off maxwell by 11:30. Finished at 2:30, 8 for 10, all browns. Our best water was about 20'. Spoon bite, in bright colors, organe, glow frog, chartruse. 7ft down 50-80 back on riggers, 130' back off the boards.

copper outside the divers is ok. it really makes little difference if there is 1 or 2 divers down when you are deploying copper. The dive curve on a diver should be steeper (ie a 300 diver deeper than a 300 copper) than copper, so the copper should go over the diver. I think it's important to let the copper out and let it sit in the chute for a bit so that it find its true depth, as there is a tendency for it to sink when it is being let out. Then swing it over the top of the divers. I also keep my furthest diver out shorter than the copper on that side. For example, if you are running a 400 copper, I would limit the high diver on that side to a maximum distance out of 375.

I usually run the high diver out further than the low and set it first. If it's not out further it's really high because of the 1 vs. 3 setting. I usually run low on a 1 and high on 2.5. I also like a mag on the low and a regular on the high to increase seperation. I remember several days with the mag on a 1 (deep diver) out 200 to 250, and the high diver out 300 to 375. Tangles have not been an issue. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Short coppers are very effective. Tried it because I had some extra copper and old reels around and haven't stopped running them. We run sections as short as 35 feet. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fished 450+ from 4pm til dark. This bite has been solid for about a month. Started straight out on a West troll. Boated 6 on the first pass, turned, 5 more, eventually lost count, probably about 15 for 20. Glow moonshines on 90 and 100 ft rigger was our best setup. Shorter leads worked better. Spinny on 280 diver#1 and 350 on # 2.25. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fished 430 til sunset 450 +. Temp is down 135'. Big change in the water following the strong wind. West waves and south wind made boat handling a challenge. Managed 8 fish, but poorest quality in a month. Glow spoons 125 to 135 on the riggers were best. Any tricks for getting divers to work when temp is so deep. I tried a #1 out between 280 and 425, with poor results. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
