New on Seneca, need advice on Copper


Recommended Posts

Just bought a boat a few weeks ago and bought 4 Okuma combo's, 2 for wire dipsey and 2 for copper. I would like to be able to fish year around for lake trout, browns, LL...whatever will bite. I have Okuma 30's for the dipsey's, and 45's for the copper. What weight copper, and how many feet do you guys recommend? I am not sure of the capacity of the Madga 45's, but I would assume I will be filling it up will as much copper as possible? Can you fish copper in the middle of the summer when things warm up, or are the fish too deep?

Thanks,

Jon

PS. I will be fishing primarily out of Watkins, if the boat starts up this weeked. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!

Super braid backing and it is more for lake "O" . We run a roller rod and play all the copper out so that we do not wear the copper in the rod guide. I think we have 150yds backing. You should not need that much on the finger lakes unless you catch someone elses copper going the other way.
