I used a teaser setup with success this year but I've heard from many people that that's a Lake Michigan setup and nobody uses them in Lake O. Now I obviously beg to differ on that but does anybody else use these? I've done both with and without teaser. I seem to also get more releases on the teaser set up but less hookups. I believe this is from the fish hitting the teasers rather than the actual meat. Anyone else use these or am I the Lone Ranger on this one?
Hey if ya get a chance can ya post I theirs any pier fisherman out tonight. Taking my last trip out on Wednesday and need to get my fix still til the steelhead run. Thanks.
Yeah unfortunately it's my grandfathers but this paint is supposedly one coat and its done. Got the railings done yesterday so now it's just rolling the floor boards. Gonna go for evening bite.
Well got a late start do to feeling a little under the weather the night before. Launched at about 10:30 and set up in 130. Had down temp of 44.8 degrees with 100 ft of cable out. We set our riggers at 80 90 and 100 at the middle with 2 flasher fly combos and a lone spoon. Dipsys then went out at 230 and 280 with doctors and atomic flies. Just before I set the second rigger the deep rigger fires with a 7 pound steelhead. Get the fish in, finish the five rod spread, get to work on the coppers and we double up with some low teens kings. Ok so now I'm think of not dealing with the coppers. Get those two fish in, reset and the 2 1/2 wait period begins. So I go to swap one if my riggers out and upon redeploying my cable jumped on my rigger (excessive swearing). So
Now I'm down to 4 lines so about too put the coppers out again and the dipsys starts screaming. Mark the waypoint, land the 28# king and swing back around. Upon hitting that waypoint again deep rigger fires and a 25# king hits the deck. So now were thinking it wont to again but sure wrought get on top of it and 10# coho hits the deck. Not bad for a late morning early afternoon trip. Be out early tmrw. Here's a few pics.....
That's awesome man. I'm Sure your sons already asking when your going out again. The sickness has been given. Anyways save up some money over the winter months and pick up a probe. You won't regret it and your catch rate will go up. See you on the water.
