Rods should be perpendicular to the boat and as close to 4 inches off the water as you can get them without dumping them out of their holders! I use a black and a green so I know which one goes on which side without looking. Best of luck...wire dipsys work!!!

Thanks but I found a couple rigger rods. I'm set

Had a small time bracket to troll...had to mow the lawn and be at 6th grade graduation by 830. Splash down at 5:00 am...A brown was taken right off the bat with the 15' rigger... 3 salmon were taken...2 on the 15' rigger and one on the 35. Inline core did nothing. DWSS NBK #1709 and Iron Dukes recomended Chicken feed by fingerlakes tackle were both hot. Lawn mowed and on my way by 8:00 am.....whew.....

Hey adk1...is your brother using Berkley Vanish flouro? I had problems with Vanish breaking at the knots.(full spit soak and everything) I switched to Berkley proffesional grade flouro and it works great...knock on wood!

Hey tlomblardozzi...grab a mountain dew(crush...glow...whatever) spin doctor and a Big Weenie reel hooked up fly...tie the fly about 22 inches behind the spinny...a combo that produces for me!!!

Thanks, A fellow L.O.U. member hooked me up with a couple Daiwa Accudepth and Heartland combos...they are on the light side but a fair deal was made and they will make great stackers when I go a bit deeper...right now I am having fun with them in my shallow program.

I here ya on the Disney trip...so much to do with limited time...but worth every ounce of energy and every penny!!!

Set up on the east side about 5:30 am...wind is allready kicken!! Throw out a 3 color core inline board. Send down a 19 ft probe rigger(by the way Fish hawk is a class act...I have been having problems with my X4...they sent a new one instantly... no questions asked...Trevor Sumption is a good man) anywho...back to the business at hand...sent down a 31 ft rigger. The dust settles and I notice the sea of cotton and weeds perfectly centered before my boat....ugh....tons of it everywhere...while thinking between the crazy rollers and all the trash in the lake this is never gonna work out...then POW... the 31 footer fires! Get her in the boat after a nice fight on the new light rod and reel. 4.5lb Brown! Get that 31 back in the water when the inline core starts zingin!! 2lb smallie...I'll take it. Put the inline core back in the drink then the 31 footer POPS again...this time a 3.5lb smallie was boated. Wind is still building...figure I would quit while I am ahead...wet and wild ride back to the lakehouse. Both smallies tossed back and the brown goes to a well deserving father!

Thanks guys...

Thanks guys...I will make some adjustments....

Decided to help the kids get off to school so I missed the first light bite. Splashed down about 9 am...First miss right away...then trolled in the usual brown holes for a half hour or so then picked up a 2 or 3 pounder(20' rigger)...back in the water she went then kept at it for awhile longer with 1 or 2 misses again. Then the 3 color core inline board was heading north while I was heading south!!! landlock.... back in the water. 1 more miss on the 30' rigger. Blown off the lake about 11:00. Quick question...I am running 70 to 80 ft behind the ball...is this a bit to long and could be the cause of some of these misses or are the fish just toying with the spoon for some particular reason? Thanks, Andy

Thanks Zack

I am looking for 2 used lighter weight down rigger rod and reel combos.(just gonna run clean spoons off them) Also interested in 2 Lead core rod and reel combos. The more inexpensive the better!!! Just getting started and have allready invested a bundle. PM me please. Thank you, Andy

NICE!!!

120 hp...ouch....nevermind the sock you better try a parachute!

CALM...If you are looking for calm my friend drive right past Seneca and Launch into Keuka. The Keuka Lake State Park(Branchport end) has a beautifull launch and you really cant beat the view of the bluff. The best view will be of your box of fish because it will be chock full of great eating size trout. A very friendly lake it is......Seneca can be a bear if its a bit windy and the bite is slow. Cayuga and Canandaigua are a nice happy medium of bigger fish but little rougher seas than Keuka. Best of luck....

They need to fish Waneta and Lamoka lakes. They would be in 7th heaven over there. If they google them they might come up with somethin. If they want to hire a guide a friend of mine grew up fishing there and now charters Musky trips allong with all other species. He would be happy to ride on their boat or take his I am sure. They can e mail him at his website and just get some basic info and guidence at least...Summit to Stream Adventures....Captain Mark Moskal...tell em Andy sent ya! PM me Ed if you want his cell # P.S. Yeah, he catches those monster muskies...they use imatation ducks for bait for cryin out loud...now thats fishin
