Down Rigger spread Help

[Billy V]

Oh Hank, I think you invented all the tricks! But you're welcome to come too...

[Guest ReelDiel]

Can I come too? Would like to see some new trick's.

yeah me too..how many guys can you fit in that new rig!!!!!

just remember tricks are for kids or really hard up guys!!!

[L&M]

Dang I was serious too. See where that got me.

[Billy V]

Actually, it might be cool to get a bunch of guys together at some point in the year to fish together....with all the experience on this board, we could all learn a few "tricks"!!

[mikejonestkd]

That would be great to get together, even in seperate boats for a day of fishing and dinner/ drinks afterward.

We can use our boat for a liferaft for one of the bigger boats...

[ray koziatek]

i can see it now 27 boats tied up side by side covering300ft water ...i wana go too darn it but i could tow my tug up for a day with the group opps no heat call gotta go mr heater fixer to the call..........

[fishfearme]

Sounds like a good idea. Taking it one step further .How about a LOU member fishing derby?Just a one day thing.For bragging rights. It would be nice to come up with a format where we didnt have to keep fish.Set it up Billie V.

[ray koziatek]

you guys can trust mee could have a polker run every fish up to 7 draw that many cards + biggest,smallest throw em all back lessen your gonna eat a couple

[chinook]

Stix, I put a post over a month ago that drew little response, about the members of this board and a derby for such. It could consist of an entry fee to be decided, that would in turn go to a determined site or sites for the penrearing projects. If entry fee was at $20.00, which would be open for discussion of course, with most if not all proceeds going back into the fishery. As far as bragging rights, the derby would run from the dates of the summer( May -July inclusive) L.O.C- ESLO for the largest king that was taken. Weights could be confirmed thru the certified scales, thus those who partake should have a handle on what it would take to challenge for the lead. Any other ideas?

[muskybob]

I thought someone out of Mike's Marina in Mexico was making plans for a LOU derby for members. Did that one fizzle out?

Oops, sorry guys It was on the GLA site.

[Guest ReelDiel]

chinook i like your idea alot

[chinook]

ReelDiel, thanks . I'm glad someone else thought it may be worthwhile. I felt if there was enough interest, that we the members of this board may provide enough funds to supply 1 pen, be it at the Genny, Hamlin or where ever. At $20.00 per boat, that would be roughly 75 needed. Also, not being locked into 1 day, would allow hopefully for the small boaters to take place as well. Lastly, being for the duration of the summer L.O.C. would give a lake wide chance, at different ports thru out the lake itself, and just not to those whose port is lighting it up at one particular time. Anyways, thought I'd throw this out, but for all the more responses thus far, maybe others feel it wouldn't be worth it.

[Fishstix]

Chinook I was thinking more like a one day get together thing.Take out some members that dont have boats.Bring your own crew whatever. But are interested in big lake fishing. Im not a charter guy . Ive never been to port bay[.Habinero haven] I hear good things about it. I hear its not to crowded.Maybe no ones interested.

We could also do a derby for biggest fish during the summer derby.That is a great idea.Put it together and count me in.

[Billy V]

C'mon Stix....Little Sodus Bay is the real Habanero Haven!! Although Port Bay is a nice place....

Erin, I am no pro but if you are running your dipseys down 330 -360, i would drop your riggers down to 130 to 150. At 2.7 down speed there is a lot of blow back and your riggers could be high at 100 -110 foc out.

[Erbyjoe]

Traveling man,You are right about the 130 to 150 of cable out.I have a cannon SNT probe with the depth gage and yes we were running over 100 feet down.Thanks for the reply maybe I should have been deeper but I was fishing the temp break so I thought I was where I should have been.I still have some learning to do.Thanks again for your reply.
