Need help deciphering lingo!!

[TyeeTanic]

When someone says, "I was on wire, 150 ft out on #3 setting." does this mean

they were using a dipsey on the #3 setting (left or right) with 150 feet of line out?

If so, the real question is, what size dipsey are they talking about a 0, 1 or 3 Magnum??

Thanks.

#1 or mag.

1. Yes

2. Call them back & ask. (I don't mean that as a wiseguy but nothing in what they said tells you that. It also doesn't say if they had a ring on it)

Sometimes guys give to much "credence" to what they overhear on the squakbox. Transmissions may carry a long ways over the water. What works off Sandy may or may not work off I-Bay. What works in 400 FOW may not work in 80 FOW. What works at 2 mph may not work at 3 mph. What works with a spn-dtr/fly may not work with a spoon. What it does tell you is that he was fishing off to the side and the fish were not coming into his rigg'rs.

You may to post a poll and ask what the most popular size dipsey is.
