I have the 83/200 for my hds 7. Tracks my 13 lb torpedoes down 100'. It's cool to see the fish streak up to the balls but it can be frustrating as well.

Try setting your tipups higher. Predators feed up so u don't want to fish under them. I usually vary the depths until the fish show me where they like it. I also use hole covers to keep the light from shining in through the hole and it keeps the hole from freezing. Good luck

If you're not running wire or braid dipseys, you are missing out on a ton of fish. I would rather have 2 divers out than a FishHawk. Don't get me wrong I love the fish hawk but it doesn't catch me as many fish as the divers

Same as steely Dan but all wire. Let the mags out first SLOWLY.

Irish, take east lake rd down to the boat launch and go across to the west shore. Find 10-12' and u will be all set for some of the biggest gills in NY. Set some tipups out and u may catch walleye, bass, or pickerel

Experimentation is key. If u aren't learning, u aren't becoming a better fisherman. U will love the wire, I know I do. A bit of advice, let it out slow by loosening your drag a touch and not free spooling the reel. Alot of times my dipsies get nailed while creeping out as I'm setting my riggers. Also drop the dipsies back 15-25' each time as the day goes on until you find the sweet spot. I can't wait for spring

No leaders until after dipsey. Wire knot to coast lock snap then attach dipsey with leader same length as rod used. Hawk eye gave great advice about keeping the line spooled tight and checking for pigtails.

My ray marine is an old radar unit

I went with the 19 strand torpedo wire. Easy to tie and don't need a Twilly tip on my Shimano TDR rods. Some pig tailing but that happens with wire. Just cut the bad out and retie. Going on three seasons with 950' or more left on all four rods.

I'm in Pittsburgh this Saturday so I'm out. Might be hitting Honeoye tomorrow though.

Head to Honeoye and fish the SW side in 10 FOW. Some of the biggest bluegills u will ever see. White and pink marmooskas with 2 waxies. If the dinks are all over it switch out to a forage minnow and tip the trebles with waxies. U will be hooked.

I've fished lake Alice alot. Mostly otter creek through the ice. Good sized gills and a few crappie mixed in. Might get a bonus walleye. If the main lake freezes safely, there's a drop off to the left of the island in front of the dam that I've caught some nice perch at.

And a glow bead for deeper rigs and heavy snow cover.

I liked my atomic 15# torpedoes from Atomik too Rick. That was until I snagged them on something 15' off bottom in 85 FOW just east of Wilson harbor last year. Broke both off and had to buy what Wes had in stock to get back out there. I still want to know what that was

I run the torpedo divers 12lb as well. No complaints
