Thank you. I don’t know where the wave forecasters get their info, but there’s been 2-3’ waves all night. I’m waiting for it to settle down

I was doing a test with magnum dipsy divers and hit bottom 100 ft down with 266 ft of wire. Just in case you had some. #2 setting

I haven’t used mags in a while. They’re very much so overkill to me. I use the regular ones with my wire rods

[Mosquito]

I use both but sometimes when the fish are really deep I switch to mags. Great job on connecting with that king. Keep those pictures coming. Thanks

[Offshore IV]

We only caught one more, 15” king lol but we slid in a bit on the troll back home and started hitting good marks at 80FOW down ~75

One more thing- when filleting that salmon, his fillets looked like a mid September fillet. Very deteriorated I thought. To note, he did have a large lamprey on him. What would cause this? Here’s my list of possibilities:

 

1.) he’s been in very shallow and warm water

2.) it’s the way they are this time of year

3.) he’s old as hell

4.) he prematurely wanted to spawn

Thanks. Needless to say we did not let the lamprey go quite as alive as he was when he came aboard 🤷‍♂️👍

I don't think you can get a standard #1 dipsey down 100 feet, can you? I sent a fish hawk TD down on my wire line and could not get 100 foot depth.

[Mosquito]

Good info , I would be interested in what depth you were able to get  with the standard size according to the td

[Offshore IV]

I have hit 70 with 250 out in my wire rod. Actually got hung up. I do not know how much further I could go. Surface speed was 2.7, but I don’t know the down speed. If it was under 2 down there, I think it could. 

 

Ive never heard of someone hooking a FH to their dipsey, that’s creative.

 

for my spread, the mags are overkill but I see the appeal. My riggers are the deep runners, my dispseys are usually for 65 and 55. So for me particularly, I don’t need anything more.

I have hit bottom in 100 with standard size dipsy. I think 350 ft of wire set at 1 1/2  might do it. Smaller the lure and slower speed, deeper they go. Spoons would have less effect on the diver than a large attractor. Good luck

Lamprey sucked out all the blood

Uugh man I hate them things

[hawkeye625]

Standard diver will get 100 dow. On 2 set out 300 ft on 30lb wire. At least mine do.
