    downrigger flasher with no lure

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    Posted

    Why would you not use your downriggers???

    We only usually have 2 people on boat with no autopilot and run 6 rod spread.  Downrigger off each side then dipsy or 2 off each side depending if we wanna try to run copper off boards on each side.   We also run just a spoon off our downrigger rods and just attach a attractor 5-6 ft straight off the back of the ball, then make our downrigger release 3ft above the ball and let the line out at least 5-6 feet past the attractor sometimes 20 just depending what we wanna try.   I'm sure there are better ways to run stuff but it works well for us.

    Misdirection-  It is a mooching rod and reel.  We started using them last year with little luck off downrigger but this trip we managed 3 out of 4 of our biggest fish on them and its a blast and alot more sporty. 

     

    Fished 24-25 July

     

    Friday was 4-4 out in 420ish fow biggest being 18.5# with 1 steelhead, caught 3 off downrigger set at 79 all on small black/green spoons, 1 dispy was 1.5 setting out 140, fished 1630-1930

     

    Saturday went 9-24 in 450-520 fow had a 23 and 25# with couple steelhead, caught all on downriggers from 55-79 with couple on dipsys, once again pretty much all small black/green spoons.  Dipsys were getting bit super hard for us but was gone just as fast as they hit 140 on 1.5 setting and 190-220 on 3 setting,  fished from 0530-1530

     

    Sunday went 8-10 in 540 fow with biggest 22# and a fat coho and steelhead.  We caught what I think was our first Atlantic was at 24.5 inch so had to let him go and unfortunately it didn't make it but not my rules.  Riggers were out all over but caught 22 # out 106 and dipsys out same as prior days all with black/green small spoons, fished 0530-1100.

     

    Fish hawk

    Anyone got a clue how long the probe on fish hawk lasts. Had some problems last time we were out with the battery cap busted and filled with water. We replaced it but doesn’t seem like the probe will even come on now?? We’ve had it for prob 6-7 yrs. and have used it 3-15 weekends a year. Thanks.
