Good advice, because it's a bit of a crapshoot. In my experience when forecasts have called for one foot waves I turn around about 10 percent of the time because it's too rough for my 18.5' Lund....

I have to agree about right place right time, Jeff. Most of the success we've had this year was because other anglers were generous with their advice. Same goes for colours - we found that black and...

Several km south of where you launch and just north of the border is where I'm targeting. Got to wait for the Lake to settle down before venturing out that far but it looks interesting for salmonids....

Taking a break from walleye - Salmon?

It figures the braided line would work better on the dipseys just because the stretch is less. I'll give it a go. I'd love to tie into a king. When I lived in BC I fished salmon whenever I could. We...

Actually not working too well behind the boards. Just too much drag on the line and hard to detect strikes.
Thanks for the feedback on line weights. I think I'll up it a bit. -

Thanks for the feedback. I've been using 12 lb Berkley Vanish, which I worry is a little light for the larger dispseys when back of a planer board - I've been using size 0 and 1. Any recommendations?

depth of slip sinkers
These are 2 oz slip sinkers. We're getting down to 50-60 feet with them. Easy to use. Let out sufficient line until you're just tapping the bottom then bring it up a few turns.
