VooDoo

Heading to Oak Orchard Thursday. Anyone have any words of wisdom on where to start looking? Any advice greatly appreciated. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Dont know what kind of boat you have or if this would work for you, but this could be another option. I have a 19' deep vee with a MotorGuide xi 5 36 v. trolling motor on the bow. It will hold a heading, hold a set speed, and even record a track that it will follow later, even in wind and waves. I use it just to steer and use my 9.9 kicker for propulsion. Batteries last 8 to 10 hrs. Minn Kota makes several motors that would work too

Thanks, Thats probably the way I'll have to go... parts even limited on that site . Looks like these are going to be obsolete before long. parts getting harder and harder to find. too bad ...great rigger reels

I'm looking for a reel handle to fit a Daiwa Sealine 47 H or SH. or possibly a 47 parts reel. Thanks..send me a pm

No, same settings on the diver... for example. If a dipsy on #1 setting is reaching 50 ft. figure a SD on #1 setting is reaching 45'. with the same amount of line out. This is with comparable size rings. Keep in mind that this is only a guess. I intend to attach a Fish Hawk TD and do some experimenting. you want to attach the diver to the mono. and do not go past the knot into the braid as it could get hung up on the knot. I usually attach the diver to the mono about a foot or so from the knot. an Albright knot is good for attaching braid to mono or wire to mono and is about the smallest size knot you can tie.

You Tube has a couple of useful videos on how to run them.

I am no expert on slide divers but I have used them and have put fish in the boat. The lite bites are extremely useful when there are a lot of small fish that wont trip the conventional slide diver. I have yet to find an accurate chart for the stock slide diver using 30 lb braid. There is some info on their website as to the depth using other weights and lines. I basically go off of a dipsy dive chart and subtract about 10% as the theory is the SD dont run quite as deep. I run mine as a high diver out side the deeper dipsy on a 3 or 4 setting with the dipsy on a 1 setting. I have been using 30 lb braid as mentioned but may have to go to wire when fleas get bad. You are better off using braid or wire instead of mono to avoid the stretch associated with mono. any stretch makes it difficult to trip the diver. I use a 30' to 50' section of 40 lb big game mono at the end of the braid for the diver to run on. A bead is used to keep the diver off of the knot of a swivel thats attached to a 7' 30lb fluro leader. a flasher fly combo was deadly when i was on lake O. in mid May but you can run about any lure or spoon off of them. Hope this helps a little

Thanks guys, Just found out that tournament was going on. Already had this trip planned. At least the weather looks good.. probably just jinxed it.

Coming up from WV to fish out of Oak Orchard June 7-10. Anyone have any suggestions on Depths and presentations to try? Any information would be appreciated.
