Anybody help a weekender?

chx-wing - The way I determine the direction of current is to start trolling directly down wind with a dipsy on each side with same settings and lure. But the lure is not necessary for this. Make All things equal rod, rod angle up and to back and same lines on each reel.

Then you watch the angles of line going into the water. The angle off the rods should be the same and distance away from the boat the same as line enters the water. When all these things appear equal, the current is also equal below you in the depth your divers are running. Many times the current is different and one will pull harder than the other. If the port pulls stronger than starboard, further back and further from boat, then current is more from starboard. and vise versa. Try to keep trolling until your lines are reading equal to each other. Note the direction on compass and that is either up current or down current. This system can work with flatline lures back but the dipsy or Lite Bite divers tell the story more obvious to me.
