I was on otisco yesterday as well, saw you on the west side, we were on the 19 ft bluefin more in the middle of the lake. Lots of fish, tons of bait, no walleye, all spoons for us
What size swivels do you guys use on the terminal end when attaching to a spoon, when fishing steelhead or kings? Does the larger size of the heavier swivels have a negative impact even if you're down 60+ feet? I know we use small ones for browns, and large ones with F/F, but I'm wondering what size for spoons on the rigger rods. Thanks in advance
Ok, this is my first year running inline boards (lead,copper,and mono) I'm just wondering how you guys detect a subtle(or any) strike with them. I'm using church walleye boards, I know one company that makes them with a small flag that pops with a strike, but with these church boards how do you detect a strike? Thanks guys...
How do you rig the spin n glows with cowbells for lakers? I've never fished for lakers and would like to be able to add this to the arsenal.. I've heard it's effective. Thanks in advance
Say you're fishing a simple 6 rod spread, 2 riggers, 2 wires, 2 inline boards. (first time using boards this year)... if you get a fish on the board, how do you keep it from getting tangled in the wire, and once you get it in, how do you re-deploy the board as to not get tangled with the wire. Thanks in advance.
What inline planer boards do you all recommend for flatlining browns, and pulling leadcore or copper when the weather warms up? The Church TX-44 advertises it can pull up to 10 colors or copper, but I think it might be a bit too cumbersome for light tackle? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
