In The Net Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 What would you run.. So would it be copper, lead, dipsey, downrigger, etc. And what bait would use???
silver one Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 For me it would be the dipsey rig for its versitility being able to set it up for depth and distance and spread. Not my favorite rig to fish but definently one of the most usable from a options standpoint for fishing many different presentations along with the range of adjustments.
Killin' It Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Rigger,The bait would depend on what I was fishing for.
ALLEYES Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 For all seasons, all year, all species my bait would be a Rapala and it would connected to a down rigger. Rapala's catch every fish that swims and I can set my riggers from 1' to 200' to cover any range of water.
jimcr Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 After using a wire dipsy and it has been the hottest pole on the boat this year , I would say wire dipsy.
mattmishler Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Wire divers by far, they are in the water taking fish from early may till lake lake sept.
Far Beyond Driven Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Blue dolphin DW off a rigger. I catch pretty much all 5 species on that set up over the course of the year. Also, riggers are by far the most verstile. Browns I can set them shallow with long leads, coho I can set them in the prop wash. Easiest rig to bottom bounce for lakers other than maybe a thumper, and a thumper isn't good for much else. Kings from April into harbor patrol, offshore steelies I can run them at 5mph, something my divers don't seem to like much, and then even fishing the surf until the access points up here ice up - my riggers will be in the water. Took an 11# steelie last year 3' down on the day after Thanksgiving.That said, took over 100 fish this spring before I set a rigger.
hfitch Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 the good old reliable downrigger with a magnum Silver Streaks. I'm not just choosing one color of spoon though. Nope, I won't do it!
KJ pluggin Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I think I would have to choose the downriggers as well, it's hard to beat the versatility of the riggers. Picking just one bait would be tough but if I was just targeting Kings it would be a white flasher and an aqua fly.
sherman51 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 thats an easy one for me. i only fish erie, so its the lite bite slide divers and gale force tackle,s tandem harnesses. and my 2 best colors is dr death and gale force. GO GET SOME FISHsherman
Daybreak Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Hands Down.... A Dipsy Diver and a Magnum SS Yellow Tail. Divers(Slide and Dipsy) take more fish on my boat every year than any other set-up....by far. IMO, NOTHING beats a King strike on a Diver rod.
In The Net Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 its great to hear the responses.. i forgot to mention taht mine would be a braided dipsey with either bloody nose spoon or a white falsher fly combo
Flyboy Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Downrigger down 57' with a Double Trouble. But nothing beats the poundin of the dipsy rod when theres a fish on!
In The Net Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 everyone loves that double trouble but we have had no luck with it
