    Thanks again Sk8man! These are totally new to me. Do you use them often? What weights do you like? Where do you clip them on the line? My core should cover down to 50-60 ft and want the copper to get me to at least 70ft it would be nice tho if I could use the copper like the core and let out what's needed for different depths on a board....

    Sounds like good advice Sk8man! I appreciate the information and the sharing of your fishing experience!! I'm am still curious about the clip weights. Are these inline trolling weighs or something else??? Thanks!!! Long time...

    Ok thanks!! Gotcha! I'm thinking that I'm going to set up one 300 ft copper rig and splice in a piece of ? lb monofilament or braid? at 100 and 200 to attach to the board that should give me some flexibility... will this work and can I get 300 ft of 45# on the Okuma 45 size reel If I cut down on the backer? Two splices could be10- 20-30 ft ? to get the copper on the outside of the downrigger? Sent from my SM-S205DL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Sk8man, wow!!! Thank you!!! that gives me all I need to put a copper together! I have two 10 color lead core rigs and run them at different color counts on boards. I'm curious about what's the advantage to run designated different color count rigs? Sent from my SM-S205DL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Thanks as always lyk2fish you offer great advice! I would like to build my own copper rig tho. it'll give me something to do and look forward to this winter. Do you use inline boards and clip the copper directly to them? What's your longest copper that you would use on Owasco? Sent from my SM-S205DL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    SamonSez, Thanks for the reply! I actually have already read the article and will read it again. I've also watched some YouTube videos on Copper rigging but was curious if any of the guys that fish Owasco lake had any preference on what two setups would likely be the most productive on Owasco.... long time...

    I'm looking for some advice on setting up two copper reels specifically for Owasco? I'm starting from scratch. Reels, wire # test and the two most productive lengths? Any other input like backer, rods, swivels and leader would be awesome. I think this would apply to other lakes as well. Tight lines!!! long time....

    Thanks for the update guys! You both did great in rough conditions!! Lyk2fish how long does it generally take for Owasco to stratify?

    Way to go Stillwater!! You look pretty happy in that picture!!! Did you catch any trout as well? I want to get out again soon but I need a fairly calm day. What's the best temperature range for walleye, rainbow and brown trout?
  11. Long time fisherman
    Yes! How things have changed!! I can remember the Mayflies, catching Cisco's and lake trout spin casting little cleos just before sunset. Going smelting and catching all you could clean.. The water in Owasco was so clean most camps just pumped it right out of the lake.... In 60 years Owasco has changed tremendously! I think Owasco would make a super Walleye lake with all the forage and weed growth it has now...why did the DEC stop stocking Walleye???

    Way to go Stillwater!!! Beautiful Walleye!! You got what you came for.... Did you get him on a diver? Sent from my SM-S205DL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Stillwater I have looked everywhere I can think of and can't find the blue dolphin silver.. bass pro, Amazon, fish usa, and Cabellas... Do you have a source? Any other colors that you like?

    Stillwater, I'm looking at the spoons, are you using the Michigan slammer scorpion spoon which is the smallest of the 3 sizes?? Thanks again! Sent from my SM-S205DL using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  18. Long time fisherman
    Awesome!! You posted the answer before I asked it Thank you sooo much!!!!
  19. Long time fisherman
    Stillwater, thanks for posting!!! I really like the looks of that lure... I'll be checking bass pro and get some ordered.. I have a size 0 Dipsy in sort of a fire tiger but haven't use it very much. What size are you using and how deep do you estimate you were fishing.. I'm 76 and not able to spend a lot of time on the water so I get 2-3 hours now and then and appreciate all the help you and Lyk2fish have offered! Tight lines!!
  20. Long time fisherman
    Stillwater thanks for the reply, the drift sock is a great idea I think it will give you more control... what size stinger spoon are you using? How do you rig your Dipsy divers? So many questions!! Any help that your willing to share would be very much appreciated! It's been frustrating not being able to put it together the last few times out.... Tight lines!!! Long time fisherman...

    Beautiful rainbow Stillwater I've been trying hard but not been able to put it together. Lyk2fish has been an inspiration to get back out fishing for trout and eyes again. My wife and I had good luck on Lake trout earlier but the last few times have been frustrating even with the fishhawk and lighter line... not giving up tho!!! Thanks for posting!! Tight lines!!!

    Lyk2fish, thanks again!!! Best Wishes to you and yours!!

    Lyk2fish, I have a fish hawk otw, changed my leaders to 10 lbs test. Would I be in the ballpark to be using sutton 35 size spoons and shad rap type sticks? I have yellow birds for boards, will they work with core? I'm pushing 80 so I can't put as much time into fishing as I use to.... I get for a couple hours about once a week weather permitting... your post have been a great aspiration and gives me something fun to look forward to... Thanks again!!
