Total newbie Bluffers Park

[Turning Left]

I have a new downrigger/boat (well, new 2 me ), first time I've ever headed out on my own.

Can anyone provide decent advice especially on on HOW DEEP the ball should go? I'll be putting in at Bluffers Park (have a VHF radio if that will help).

I hear the fish are approaching the rivers, but I'm not experienced enough to get into any kind of tight quarters with other boats trolling.

Thanks?

Only way to learn is jump right in. Trolling with downriggers is easier than with dipsy and or planer boards. That can get hairy. Jump in!! you will be just fine. Remeber your weights are right behind you. Good Luck!
