13 today for Lady Christine crew. :)
2.3mph and running dipsy divers #1 15ft and 25ft down with a snubber and
6ft leader. I know I should be running boards, but 1st year and was told this was a cost effective alternative for now.
Like i said did well saturday, didn't change anything today and caught nothing. There were about 50 boats out there so maybe the pressure?
Thanks for your reply.
Oh, also got some of that Kishels you told me about. Thanks!
Kishels is a must, the dipsy bite can be touchy in that depth of water try slowing down to 1.9 and use any option a bit more stealthy long lines off riggers, leadcore or jets / torpedoes to achieve depth off inline or preferably big boards . I run 1 dipsy on 3 setting and next smaller size on 2 setting inside and way back in close if its all you have. So I'm stacking dipsys on both sides of boat.
Got 4 today in front of the mills over 6 hours...all under 4 lbs. ton of boat traffic and markings had trouble getting the bites. Couldn't keep the sheep off the line either.
Like bailey said slow down some. Tie off a bucket or two n toss them over the side to go slower if need be. I'd rather run leadcore over dipsys right now. Try a little longer leader. Try running sticks off your dipsys also. Lose the snubbers. You could be losing fish that get off n not pop the dipsy. One more trick. Sometimes there's a lot of inactive fish that are just off bottom and won't move 5 ft to take a bait. But if you put that bait right in their face as you troll by you'll get strikes. You gotta know the lake bottom though or you'll snag up quick
We Boxed 23 ( 1 shy of 4 man limit) today off Meyers Reef 30-40 FOW. Our program was 3-5 color lead core, 30 jets 125 back, and 4 oz torpedo divers 50-60 feet back a good mix of eaters and some bigger fish. Our hottest rig was the Ito Flies Eye Fly and as Bailey said Kishel's Fish Scent is a must!!
Boxed 10 lost 3 at the boat, threw one undersize back. No weighers, fished with C-Biscutt (Don) yesterday. Back out today. Heard choppers boat boxed a 10+ Eye, WTG. worked the SP weigh station yesterday, logged in a good amount of fish 6-9 lb class.
Bailey, would it help if we sent pictures ? :eek:
