We weren’t sure about the weather but the radar looked promising and gambled anyway.630-9pm tonight.running 2 stacked riggers we fished from 130-160fow Going from north west to southeast troll (only ways allowed😅)found 48deg. Down 45 on the riggers,2-2.5mph at the ball.Two man crew and a spreader clamp on the wheel as our auto pilot.1double,one triple,5/13 on the night.they hit everything we thru at them blue and green flasher flys,Ohio Buckeyes,u name it they wanted it.first fish we hooked was the biggest of the night I’d say peeling 300ft of line then popping..2 matures,2 nice steelhead and 1 juvenile landed.23.5lbs being our big fish of the night.very thankful to get out tonight on the mighty O

Sounds like you had a great night fishing. Could you describe or show a photo of the spreader clamp since I usually fish solo and could use some help at the wheel. Thanks

[Puffintuff]

It’s an Irwin quick clamp and u just flip the one end around to make it spread out.ill spread it between the dash and the bottom of the wheel.here is a pic of one

How do you use a spreader clamp for autopilot ? I always fish a 2 man crew and I have a hell of a time landing fish...

I use a bungee cord. Works great and quick to change course if necessary

X2 in the bungee cord will definitely do the trick I love it!!

[Fish4anything]

I'll give both a try... Anything beats doing 360's trying to get the riggers in...😅😅

[Puffintuff]

[Puffintuff]

[Fish4anything]

[Skywatcher]

Nice pics of your catch. Also, thanks for the pic of the clamp. I've got one and will try it along with the bungee cords.
