90 back puts the dipsy pretty deep. I should have tried much deeper and moved around but those stupid biting flies drove me crazy so I just headed in after a few hours. Next trip I plan to be better prepared. Thanks for the report.

Turned around towards home and went into the waves and caught 6 in rapid succession on the same #3 Dipsey 90 back on Scorpion spoons. Also caught 4-5 shorts in that same troll. My assumption is the current was affecting the action or depth of the spoons. I had 8 lines in the water with 4 dipseys and 4 offshore boards with bandits and TT30’s and the dipseys did the heavy lifting. Just goes to show you that you need to try many different things each day to get them to bite. The mayfly hatch hasn’t helped but if they are hungry, they will bite if you are in the strike zone. Hope the next trip is better for ya.
