Anyone run 2 - 3 dipsys off the same side of the boat ? If so whats the secret to stopping the tangles? Thanks for any info.

No sharp turns and like a 1½ on near and 3½ on farther dipsy 3 could be done but never tried it i would do 0 straight off side of boat to accomplish all 3 practice is key and as you get more experienced it gets easier. Till then have fun lol

Fished out of Barcelona at first light again today. Fished 85 FOW just slightly East. Walker Divers set at #3 170 feet back. Four walleyes and a steelhead. Fished until 11:00 AM. All fish on Renosky's.

i have such a tough time keeping my lines from tangling. i watch my lines the whole time and steer in order to keep them straight, so i am at the their mercy - not sure i'm doing it right - i run the rigger at the rear of the port side and the dispy from the side of the starboard 2-lines and i catch hell with that. when i'm feeling cocky i'll try to run a mini planner board off the port side with a snap weight - never caught anything on it but, do it for practice - any suggestions.

My starcraft is narrow and i run 2 riggers 2 dipsys a leadcore out the chute and 1or 2 inline boards with 30 jets. I hardly ever tangle even when running 4 dipsys unless i get spun by wind. All i can say is practice the more you do it the better you get and easier it becomes if your outer dipsy flips it can cause havoc .

I used to run 3 dipsys on 1 side all the time without many tangles in my 19 ft sylvan 0,13/4 and 3 setting none at the same length ever. Make very wide turns never anything sharp. But now I never run any dipsys so no worries.

Thanks for dipsy info, Fishkiller, how far apart were your dipsy rod holders,& did you use different length rods? We fished 42 -45 fow yesterday got 7 keepers 4-6 #ders, 3 dinks went back.

I want to thank everyone on this site and the Buffalo area specifically. Just bought a Crestliner Raptor 1850 in June and after a short learning curve I've been doing well out of SP. Went out Tues and got 4 in the boat biggest was 9 lber. Wed did great before the wind picked up boated 8 with the biggest about 6 lbs. only one pencil. Kept two for dinner the rest went back in. I've been fishing straight out of SP in 60ish ft of water trolling with Walker 107 divers 123 ft back with a trolling spoon and crawler 6 ft back on 15 lb fluro leader. The trolling spoons were a couple of medium sized salmon spoons that I took the treble hook off and put a 30 lb. red Cajun Line small leader with beads and 3 Gamakatsu #2 octopus hooks on. This was way cheaper than buying a Thundermist trolling spoon set up like this. I think all total with the hooks and spoons I have $4 into them. Anyways thanks again and I hope to be a frequent contributor.
