Downrigging tips

[bamracefan]

Hi I am fairly new downrigging and went out Fri May 21 from under the skyway bridge. I fished from noon to 8pm in 50 feet of water. I marked a lot of fish but didnt have one release. What am I doing wrong? I used spoons and plugs of all colours. I washed a many lures but no fish. How far should my lure be back from the ball? I would appreaciate any help or tips. I know lots of people are tight lipped about their fishing styles but just need a gentle push in the right direction. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
