When do you start running dipsy's?


Recommended Posts

What Brian said! Kings will smash a dipsy spoon in 15 to 20 ft. Set it 3 or more out 25 and keep the drag light as possible. Smaller dipsey works good or no ring. Yes bring them. If nothing else lakers will eat off of them.

I just primarily use the small dipseys with small to medium light spoons  in shallow in the Spring  and let them out till they briefly hit bottom and then let them come up a bit on their own and leave them there so they are running up a little off bottom and on a 3 setting so they are out aways from the boat. They gradually lift a bit and I adjust them as I go.

I took a king off a mag dipsy yesterday that was only out 44' over water depths in the 40' range.  Just figure 2:1 ratio with a mag dipsy and 3:1 with a standard.  If you tap bottom, bring it in, dust off the zebras and readjust your setback.
