Hahaha sorry man I posted a bit of misinformation. I did well on Friday, I mistakenly said today. So yesterday on FRIDAY I did well when it seemed slow for everyone else

I nailed them saturday mid day when no one else seemed to catch anything

Thats amazing I may have to give it a shot

Hey guys is it possible to jig in the winter for lakers? My Dad's friend owns a house on Seneca Lake and he said I could use it anytime. I will use it in the spring and summer and I will fish like crazy but I was wondering if it would be worth it to take a trip in the cold and try to jig up some lakers.

hmmm that I might be able to handle could I get some specs on it in a PM?

bit pricey for me but thanks for letting me know!

Anyone got a older reasonably priced centerpin combo they want to sell?

hahah yep the virus has hit me, but hey I have accepted the financial losses cause nothing beats fishing!

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): Time on Water: 45 min Weather/Temp: Clear/ NA Wind Speed/Direction: SW 7 mph Waves: 2 or less Surface Temp: Location:Sandy Creek LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 1 Total Boated:1 Species Breakdown: Steel baby!! Hot Lure: DW 42 Trolling Speed: 2.5 Down Speed: Boat Depth: 90 fow Lure Depth: 70 fow ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== So I set out today in my modified bass boat on my second trip out with my newly acquired manual riggers. I went out Thursday with the rigs and almost boated my first fish but it threw the hook, today however was destined to be my day. Set up in 120 fow but saw most of the charters were in closer, so i closed the gap and trolled into 90. no sooner did I do that then I marked a huge bait ball and a big arc behind it. Soon as my spoons passed through I was hooked up with a beauty of a steelie. I got him close and netted him and my freakin Lake O curse is now behind me! I tell ya those riggers have just made life so so much easier than trying to run three dipsy rods. The steelie was a 9 lbr and I am a very happy fisherman, also this all happened in about 45 min from start to finish cause right after I boated the fish the waves really kicked up. But my confidence is way boosted and I cant wait to hit the 90 depth again cause it seems to be hot!

Hey thanks man, that is encouraging I will definitely keep at it!

I am in need of a radio, can you shoot me a pm with details?

That is very true. The inside fishing at sandy has been very slow for everyone, or so I hear. Its just that the browns should be at least willing to bite

could I get that mail too? I am interested in this as well

Well guys I gotta say I am depressed. I went out of sandy again today. I went up to the nose and trolled back towards the creek, I started at 130 fow and immediately got a hit on my 70 foot dipsy running the frog and that was it. I went out to 200 and back in to 80 and got nothing. To be fair everyone had a bad day on sandy today but man this is getting fustrating. It's like even a blind mouse finds the cheese every once in a while but I am actually running these things by the book! My action was good and my depth was spot on ( I know this cause I experimented by touching bottom) I even trolled right with the big charter guys at their speed and nothing except one hit. Any of you guys got some manual riggers to want to donate to a poor responsible fishing obsessed college kid? But seriously maybe I should focus on the bass until some more fish move in.

Ah ok now I am getting this whole wire thing, thanks alot for the info guys I really appreciate it! Keep it coming

ah I guess my next question is why do I need the wire? I mean I can get down to the depths I want no problem so thats not really an issue. Really wire would just help me with the stealth side to things. But if stealth is really important than I am sorta out of luck if I want to fish up high with my dipsy's. Also I do use the rings and they get me down fast and quick. I did not realize that dipsy color selection was that important though. I have green and I also have clear sparkle dipsys. So maybe I ought to invest in some dark colors. I got into this thinking dipsys would work as a nice little rigger substitute, I may have thought wrong.

Yah absolutly I have been going on the surface action and all my rods are tracking well. I might be going a touch fast but honestly i have been going literally the slowest my outboard can do before it goes to an idle

The leader I am running from dipsy to spoon is about 5-6 ft

alrighty to clarify I am running 20 pound mono on all the rods just to keep it simple. I am running the divers without the O ring so I can put them farther back according to my depth chart. So for instance on a 0 setting on a #1 diver I will let out around 115 ft of line to get her down around 45. So depending on my setting and my dipsy I will let the line back any where from 100 to 250 ft back. I know for a fact with my trolling speed at the rpms i mentioned earlier the dipsys get to where they are supposed to. For instance I set my dipsys to go to 85 ft down in 87 fow and they were touching bottom so I know I am right on with what the dipsy charts say.

Thats just the thing I dont have riggers. So dipsys are all I have

So here is the deal. I went out trolling with my dipsy rigs the last two days out of sandy. I worked from 75 thru 150 fow on every direction troll you can work and I covered the depths from 90 all the way up to 45 with my mag and #1 dipsys. I always have three dipsys in the water and I have a different spoon color on each dipsy. I worked the Gator, Glo Frog, Nk 28 black-green, Glo Green, and various shades of purple and yellow. After all of this I all had to show for it was two stinking hits with no fish to show for it. What the heck am I doing wrong? I have been hearing that the inside bite has been pretty good and I have been out trolling with guys who know what they are doing so I am not totally clueless. I just seems that to have three poles in the water on two consecutive days and no fish to show for it is pretty absurd. Any insight or advice for my situation would be helpful. Also I do NOT have a down speed and temp. So I am pretty much going on marking my fish to find the depth and going on rod action for the speed. I usually keep my rpms just a touch below 10 and that has hooked some dink salmon before, so I really dont know where I went wrong. HELP!!

Well I have searched high and low for 1oz jig head and I cant find any. Where do you get them and what brand is best?

combination of braddocks and sandy creek
