Rippin'Line

New to this ice fishing thing. Anyways think shes frozen up solid by saturday? Its pretty d@m* cold out there.

ehh stackers piss me off. I cant do it unfortunately. They tangle sometimes and if your bottom line goes you have to pull the whole rig up and reset. Id rather have one go, hit auto up, land the fish, reload the rigger, and keep going.

Just curious as to if anyone has been getting anything off any of the piers. Considering a little trip in the next few days. [ Post made via iPhone ]

I hate you Comeone Spring! so jealous right now.

Thanks guys. Guess i have some thinging to do before the boat hits the water first time come spring!!!

Did 30 Kings all over 30 lbs, about 6 browns, a steelhead and about 10 chickens.

Recently bought a penn yan with an 8' Beam. Would it be best to run one rigger right down the middle and 2 off the sides at a 90 degree angle away from the boat. Thought about doing 4 but for a 21' boat and after adding dipseys and such seems it would get a bit crowded.

Is it Spring King time yet?

Confused on the mooching reel. It's not a center pin right? [ Post made via iPhone ]

You could pull musky lures and browns would hit them. Theyre simply voracious in the spring. But yeah i didnt realize those were 3 treble sticks. Mine are 2 and about 6 inches in length.

30 ft penn yan with twin tunnel drive 350s. With of course every fishing accessory possible to dominate the Great Lake Ontario! [ Post made via iPhone ]

forget your pliers that day? lol

Port Bay in Wolcott NY. He's got my boat right now. I've always heard great things about him and hes a family friend that helps out my Grandfather alot in his present state. Great guy.

I mean email sent

PM SENT!

I would think that when you crank down the tethered releases would get pulled straight up and down? [ Post made via iPhone ]

I've got loads of those i just came into posession of. Cant wait to try em out on the spring browns.

ill do it for $9,000!!!!!

No I don't have a hand crank. If I did I would go for it. The two I have now are electrics. Trying to get 2 more. [ Post made via iPhone ]

only the electric one

If you would be interested in selling the downriggers only pm me. I need two more.

Piucture is completely photoshopped!

You dont need copper with dispys. Copper is ran as a flat line pulling a spoon or flasher/fly combo. The weight of the copper line alone deopending on the amount out and speed can reach depths of around 100'. On my boat dipsys are a necessity. They acount for about 60% of the fish compared to the riggers. The wire your probably hearing about being run on the dipsy rods is generally 7 strand stainless steel. It is used becaus it doesnt stretch like mono does and cuts through the fleas easier. Some people run braid to eliminate the stretch but it seems like the fleas pile up on it alot easier and in greater quantity. In my own opinion for your setup i would run your riggers as you do but with spoons and i would run the dispys off the sides with on a 2 or 3 setting with flasher fly combos so they're out away from everything. Any more than 4 rods on that size boat your asking for trouble. Good Luck and post reports and questions! This is a great community and everyone on here is willing to share.

Good looking boat if i didnt just buy a Penn Yan i would be calling you up on that one.
