    As we all know, when there's trouble, mariners and boaters rise to the task...

    I switched to shorter rods 4 seasons back... one of the best moves I've made. I've never lost a fish because I didn't have enough rod to handle them. Running Shimano TDR 7' medium action for riggers and board rods, same rod in medium heavy for lead core. Chopped the butts down on all rods, so length now is 6' 8"..... also using 7' 6" heavy musky rods with twilli tip for wire divers. Just my $.02

    Old school here.... fishing from a small boat.. stack 2 rods per downrigger and a wire diver on each side.. 6 rods. I can put the 4 rigger lures exactly where I want them... sometimes the wire divers are a "best guess" depth. Starboard corner

    I use 7 1/2 foot medium heavy musky rods with twili tips for my wire divers.... lots of leverage, easy to handle on a small boat. I tie a 20 ft. leader of 30 lb. mono to the wire with a #8 Spro Power swivel and run a slide diver on the mono.... makes netting fish with a short rod easy.

    Tangler, I was thinking the same thing after seeing Tim's pic..

    I my opinion, the advent of the internet has a lot to do with it. For example, we've all had days when every lure we put down gets hit, other days, nothing gets touched. .. So i go out one sunny Saturday and pound the snot out of the kings on a glow frog spoon. Chances are, if the bite was hot, most any green spoon in the zone would draw strikes, but I ran the frogs.. I post pics here and tell you the glow frogs are hot, a ton of members read my post, Sunday morning, 50 boats are out running glow frogs...... they catch fish, post pics here, and the "hot glow frog saga" continues... By Monday afternoon, the local tackle stores are sold out of glow frog spoons.. Funny thing is, the guys running other spoons, flashers, dodgers, j plugs, and meat rigs caught fish too....... welcome to " the age of information overload"

    Using Atomic's 15.5 lb. torpedoes here... no problems

    Not so.... Wifey and I got out on Monday from 11 AM till 2 PM. off Braddocks Bay. Fished 100 to 140 FOW, good temps were 80 / 100 ft. down...2 for 3, knock off on a Apex 5.5 stinson, small king on a purple B. Fuller, 22lb. king on a 10" green spinny with a home made green/gold/black 6" fly. ....at least 6 other boats off Rochester all afternoon. The best time to fish is when you have time to fish... I don't care what time of the day it is...... If I stay home, my catch rate is zero... Just my $.02

    Hit the sale on Thursday, good stuff at good prices. Funny thing... as I was walking down the sidewalk to the sale, I could hear the "click clack, jingle jingle tinkle" of spoon blanks being rummaged through from 100ft. away... made me laugh a little.

    These used to be made by the Evil eye / Red Eye / Eppinger tackle company out of Elba NY many years ago. I remember seeing a website still selling these dodgers a few years back, but can't find the website. Hoping someone can post a link. Thanks, Jim S. Old School Evil Eye high speed dodgers

    Are these fish?

    J.D. replied to Kuba's topic in This Old Boat

    Rembering a time at Sodus Bay, and had a screen like that.... turned off the motor and sat there for a few minutes...fish began to surface, I was drifting in a giant school of longnose gar........

    I ran with a charter out of Point Breeze a few years ago, when the kings were in close, he ran them as top lines... 100 ft. back and in the rod holder.... blasted the fish!!.. .never too old to learn !!

    King of Kings and I must have gone to the same fishing school...... I still run squids behind my old Evil Eye high speed dodgers, stack 2 rods on one downrigger, and fish the same spoon patterns I did 25 years ago and still catch fish....... go figure...
