I didn't realize that you trolled that slow in the spring. I'll make a note if that. Plainer boards it will be.

I second that....

I can't really say..... I think you lost me at 1.5 in the spring. Most of our early spring to mid spring days are spent at 0.8 to 1.1, maybe 1.2...

If you run your inside line with only a snap weight or something, it'll end up in your way when your catching Dipsy fish... unless you want to try to...

Put a 2oz or 3 oz weight in front of them to get them to the depth you want. I bet they catch fish and even walleye. Try adding 1 foot of depth for...

I was reading over your reply again. Some people don't use snubbers how important is it. Also if you have 1 line on the out side on a number 3...

Thanks Bob. That is a lot of good advice. Can't wait to get out there. Be a while before we will be using dipsys but since I just bought them my...

There really is no info on how far out a dipsey runs.That would depend on lead and speed.We run dipseys a lot once the spoon bite starts catching.But...

Planer board trolling cranks would produce much better than any dipsey imho.

Trolling in the spring would be at 1.5 or faster. I was just wondering if you do troll 1.5 or more would the small mini be better or worse than a...

Yes It sounds like you answered my question. I've never used the larger dipsy and was having a hard time finding any information about how far out...

Usually trolling pretty slow speeds for spring walleye, in which, any weighted diver tends to work more against you than for you.. I don't think...

I don't think you'll find any info on how far out they run horizontally... Even though your line (visible line, from the rod tip into the water )...

I'm running 20# Trilene XT, low vis green... same line I always use for my 6' leaders.

I know you post your results and enjoy reading them.Let us know if the mono does better than braid when pulling cranks too.

I've been using 15# Maxima ultragreen.Most guys use 10 or 12# due to diameter closest to dive curve.I used heavier because spooled my buddies rods...

That sounds like a good plan. I’ve never fish mono with my boards so we will see how it goes. What brand and test have you guys been using?

Ice is forming on some near shore Lake areas, but the forecast has warmed a bit this coming week with two big wind events (Monday night / Tuesday...

Good comments, as they make the point the Lake is a very dynamic system with so many factors effecting any given part of the ecosystem. I don't know...

Has anyone tried jigging yet

Hey eyecrazy,was thinking about your new boat and your rod setup with braid.You will be fishing more often in cold water and using cranks with the...

But wasn't the fish population lower then, than now? If the Shiners aren't as agile, they are easier prey for Walleyes and such and there is much...

I have Daiwa LCs that are close to 35 years old and have never been cracked open. This includes some years of charter operation. My planer board...

I have tried multiple Daiwa and Penn reels but my favorite by far is the Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6500 line counter. It is much smoother and you can...

I've been using the Cabela's DepthMaster ll for about 4 seasons. It may be a introductory level combo rod and reel but I can't complain. The...

We have been running the same Diawa ADP27LCB line counters for about 9 years now. I did upgrade the handle to the power crank, it's a little longer....
