Come July I'm usually downrigging on Lake Superior for Salmon, my comment is this, I usually run two downriggers and nothing else. I have planner boards, dipsy's, snap weights etc but I prefer having only the two lines in the water. My reason for this is that I believe that more hardware you have in the water the more problems you can run into, plus more work when you get a fish on. I personally like stopping the boat to fight the fish rather than fighting the speed of the boat at the same time. Do you hardcore salmon guy's think that i'm missing out on more action because of this? Fishing out of Thunder Bay is not as productive as say Michigan or Toronto nor is the salmon here as large as these places. In my experience our chinooks are on average around 6lbs and a big salmon is over 10lbs. Our rivers can produce some over 20lbs but catching one around 20lbs in the big lake doesn't happen very often. Do many of you guy's use J Plugs while downrigging? I've never tried them...I always use spoons...

We have three cats, Ally, Jessie and Scribbles. Scribbles got her name because it almost looks like someone scribbled black marker on her nose. Can't remember about the other two. My fiance works at a vet and I'm not ashamed to say we both love animals. Abes...
