    You could just tie in 100-200 ft of flea flicker or blood run sea flee onto your braid. Then run a 20 lbs leader off that. The flees grab ahold of the line between the downrigger ball and the surface.

    Long pants that are breathable!

    For $100/board the damn things should come with both keels and the tow line tied the way everybody has modified them!

    Big Jon, Atommik or ebay.

    The Otters don't work well in weedy lakes. The keels pick up weeds very easily.

    Early on we fished 45-60 for browns. Then slid out and looked around...hooked back in at 350. Made it back just before the first big rain. We got the first skunk of the year. With the exception of a small brown that hit a slider...jumped and was gone. We weren't shallow enough for the browns. After hearing a Captain cleaned up in the 20 range. The steelhead were hard to find for the first time in the last month. And the Kings must still be in Canada or are stuffed with all the bait around.

    I can run a spoon or a flasher with something like this: https://www.torpedodivers.com/scart/product_details.asp?ItemNum=S0010

    I run a quality snap swivel with a welded ring small enough to run a spoon on. At the end of the leader.

    Yes, that's the preferred method. But... I have my 300 copper on a linecounter reel (which won't accurately measure copper). Since i don't have a 200...i have been running my 300 down the chute deployed at varying lengths and it's been working. I re-set the counter...deployed it...and found it reads 420 with all the copper out. So, i divide 420 by 3 to (somewhat) give me an idea of where i'm at for every 100 ft. I keep the drag fairly loose...as not to damage the copper if i get a big hit.

    I work for a Chevy dealership in Syracuse...so i would say a Chevy! LOL. But drive both. Each car is a little different.

    7 and 10 were best last sunday. Riggers 15-50.
  12. BAZOOKAJOE
    Find the scum line in 200-300 and run some spoons on leadcore off the planer boards.
  13. BAZOOKAJOE
    Fish the weeds and docks in the bay for largies. I heard the smallies are getting active in the 8-20 foot depths (out in the lake).
  14. BAZOOKAJOE
    We fished today till 1:00 and it was really slow. Covered 120-310 depths and ended up with a small laker, a baby king and missed another hit. Choppy in the early morning and the scum lines were broken up.
  15. BAZOOKAJOE
    That's a great point! Wire divers and riggers will take more bites a majority of the time.

    Linecounter is a waste of money with copper. I'd get a Daiwa Sealine SLW 60 http://www.tacklehaven.com/daiwa-sealine-slw-levelwind-reels/ 150 yds 40 lbs power pro and 32 lbs copper If you are stuck on 900 ft of backing and 45 lbs copper get the Okuma Solterra
  17. BAZOOKAJOE
    I bet it will hold 150 yds of 50 lbs power pro, 300 ft of copper and a 20 ft leader. I run a piece of electrical tape over the knot tieing the power pro to the spool. It keeps the line from slipping on the spool.

    Ford vs Chevy Like Otters and Chevys

    Sweet!! If you have two boats and a happy wife...you are indeed a lucky man!!

    We went 10-11 Sunday. 6 steelhead, 3 lakers and a brown. Green Stingray spoons on 7 and 10-color cores were best. Couple on the riggers with long leads 25-50. Couple on a 3-color with a dive bomb. Cleaned weeds and cottonwood off the lures all day. At one point we pulled the whole set. Tried cut bait and spin dr/fly deeper later in the day for a king. But nothing to show for it.

    small gold hooks in the harbor?

    All the cool kids run Otter Boards!! Seriously tho, i think the big boards pull too hard for some applications. I have a big jon mast that has a seat post mount on my small boat. I have to attach ratchet straps to the front of the mast or the otters will pull it out when it gets rough. I can't imagine what kind of ruckus those big redwood boards would cause on my boat. And i definetly wouldn't want to crank them in by hand. I'd definetly want power cisco's. Didn't you break a big jon reel before you got the cisco's?
