So, no crawlers? And spoons out-performed cranks?

No crawlers, or I would have said I used crawlers. lol

It was 50/50 on the catch rates between spoons and cranks...the cranks caught the bigger fish, though.

Hi, Juls....great information as per usual. I've never had the courage to run my Offshore boards simultaneously with Dipsys. Could you describe the positioning of these ? Boards are farthest from the boat, I assume? Your expertise is much appreciated, as always.

If you look at this picture...the two dipsey rods are the furthest two rods, back towards the back of the boat.

The shorter rod, or the "inside rod", is the last one. The longer, "outside rod", is the second from the back.

The zero setting, is on the short rod, keeping the bait straight down, while the outside rod runs at the two or three setting, keeping it further out away from the inside rod's bait.

The boards run like they normally would....away from everything.

Just use common sense, and be aware of where your lines/baits are when reeling in fish, and you'll be just fine.

Thanks, Juls....I guess I had the right strategy in mind. I've been doing the loop trick, too, and really like it. Now, if we could just get rid of those midgesl. Ugh
