    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.

    Thanks Shorthanded I'm going to pick up a few more and get them ready for early next week. I might try buying some spoon blanks that are painted by some of the guys selling them on LOU.

    Thanks Shorthanded & others for all the info on the dipsys. Milt, the rock pile is about 1 mile north of the #2/seneca shoal red marker bouy. We have been useing chartuse & hammered bronze size 4 blades on the harnesses fished rite on bottom. We were there today & fishing was slow but constant, ended up with 7 keepers. 1.3 - 1.7 spd.

    we sometimes run multiple dipsys on Ontario mostly 2 per side but sometimes when fish are aggressive and suspended, 3 per side. heres one way to do it...

    like Fishkiller said earlier, NO sharp/abrupt turns! also, I wouldn't use three rods per side under 2.5mph

    rod holders 10-12 inches part.

    inside rod holder angled down toward water, middle rod holder horizontal to water, outside rod holder one "click" above middle rod holder.

    7ft rod for (deep) inside, 8-1/2ft rod in (mid) middle, 10ft rod (high) outside.

    inside dipsy 1-setting, middle dipsy 2-setting, outside dipsy 3 setting

    takes some practice but you can run these w/o tangles.

    these days i use wire on my dipsys, but another way to help minimize tangles is to run wire on inside rod, braid on middle rod and mono on outside rod.

    for tight-to-bottom fish like we are seeing on Erie now and/or when slower trolling speeds are needed, there are better methods to get multiple baits down to them
