Thanks Jules for that informative post.I had never tried using a dipsey in such shallow water but will give it a try.The guys I fish with have bigger boats so we use bags with the main engine to troll.Much more noise than an electric motor that you use. So not sure how shallow we can still catch with our dipseys.We have caught fish in 27 fow before though
As for Sherman comment about the dipsey ring coming off.We had problems with ring coming off also until read a thread on how to solve it.I roughened off the plastic surface of both the ring and the dipsey then super glued them together.Its been over 3 yrs and running since had a ring break or come off.
