It drops off quickly there where closer to the bay it gradually drops off so you have to go out further

One of the best videos I have seen, amazing footage. Thanks for sharing.

Hank just installed one on my boat this past Spring, works perfect. Everyone that I spoke with recommended him for his service and I would agree 100%.

Good deal. Thanks

Is there any open bait shops in Honeoye/Hemlock/Conesus area? I wasn’t sure Ted’s in Conesus was open. Looking for minnows... Thanks

Kell Laboratories has all replacement parts, I have had to order misc parts from them.

Awesome video

Just to follow up on this, thanks to Bruce at Hooked Up, I brought my riggers to Screwy Louie's in Fairhaven and Brendan there took care of both and they are running like new. I wanted anyone that may need work down the road to know Thanks

Anyone know of any local in and around Rochester that work on Scotty downriggers? Thanks

8-10’ lead on my divers when running spoons

I was out Sunday morning and it was a bit of a grind for us, a lot of short hits, we went 5 for 12 for the morning. We fished the same water and the same depth down as you mentioned. I always check speed and temperature, my best speed with my Depth Raider is anywhere from 2.1 to 2.4 downspeed depending on the day. Temperature was up a bit this weekend but I tried to keep my spread is the high 40 to low 50 degree water. I ran only 4 rods, sometimes I feel less is more, 2 riggers, 2 wire divers, all spoons. I try to always visualize what my spread is looking like down below and ensure that I have decent separation between my wire divers and riggers that are on the same side to make sure that my diver is not affecting my rigger. For example, if my one rigger is at 58' down, I know if I put my wire out 240' on a 2.5 setting that the lure is somewhere around 70' down, so there is about 10-12' of separation. Same goes on the other side but I may put one rigger up higher and keep my wire down below. If conditions are good on the lake, I will put my boards out and put some lead core out to cover the upper 30' of water knowing that steelhead are around. Or, I will put cheaters on my rigger rods to accomplish the same. My leads on my riggers were much closer (20-30'). I wouldn't get discouraged, keep playing with your setup as the morning goes along, if what you are doing is not getting the strikes, start playing with your leads, change up your speed, etc. until you start getting some strikes. The great thing about this fishery is you keep learning and there are a lot of seasoned guys that are willing to help. Hope this helps Tomy

Thanks everyone!

Perfect....thank you!

Does anyone have a picture of how they rig a clip to your net handle to keep the bag from being pushed out in front when netting a fish? I can't get any pictures when searching for some reason. Thanks in advance Tomy

Make sure if you purchase the coated cable that you follow the instructions on terminating it properly so that you get the proper signal to your Depth Raider unit.
