What's working for you

[wsdimenna]

Can't say I have been very successful compared to the last two yrs.. Finally got on a program that works well. Want to thank, Chad, with 16- 18 ft lund. He was having success with putting down riggers so they touched the bottom then lifting them up a few ft.

Had seen him catch fish next to me the previous day. Without downriggers I came back on today with the following rigs.

30 lb copper wire rig attached to two watermelon walker 107mm diver. One had black electrical for change. (Not necessary)



two 107 mm watermelon walkers on copper: 110-135
two #1 dipsy on 50 lb spider wire 175-200 depending on depth. Pink worked, assume red will. Didn't try other colors..started blowing tow much.

Setup over 53, and get good boat control with lines straight.
copper starts at 125 at 1/2 setting and spider wire at 175. After trolling speed is obtained guide lines down till you see it tap-tap on bottom and bring it up a couple ft. Keep working it this way as your depth changes.

Before wind came up with went into about 45 and came back out. Last troll we went until 41ft.

Lead core 9 back, worked when we could drop it on a turn..which were impossible after 1:30.






What worked..below. What didn't work for us was black watermelon or a thirty jet. Also tied 20 jet a middle setting without success.



Two are from Rainbow sports and one from hitech..
