What was your hot weapon for 2006

[CaptLevi]

I'm not surprized there. Meat works.

Dave don't you feel a little shorthanded with only two riggers fishing the pierheads for Kings or Steel? We SSSMMAACCKK em on riggers then. Course we do on our divers, and high lines also.

For those few days when I really would like the 4 riggers I am willing to let them go. I can always accomplish the same thing with a dipsy on 0 right off the rear in place of those other 2 riggers.

one of the "top dog's" last year was 150' copper rig fished down the chute over the "chute" rigger-usually steelie stomper or shangster(stinger stingray size)

Downrigger we are best all summer over here on the west side of Lake Superior . Mostly because of overly warm surface temps droped fish deep.Best spoons were pink floyd by fishlander & sour apple by creative touch. Dipsey were hot for the steeles.

There was no spot to put Slide Divers or drop-weights in the poll.

It's a little difficult trying to run 10' to 15' leads to your FishCatcher/ Slammin' Fly rig with a Dipsy.

Offshore season, hands down Watermelon dipsy towing a NK 28 Watermelon/Holo. Wicked, wicked, wicked on big eyes and chrome!

Wire divers & wire pound balls were very consistent on the north shore of lady .O

[Toxic]

My mind is my weapon. The dipsys were just tools for me to kick the walleyes butt! LOL. Dipsys outweighed my downriggers by far!

[Storm Warning II]

Have you done much this spring with your wire divers Skeiner? We fished the lady O 4 days this spring and caught some coho and small kings on them with spoons so the last 2 days I went to flasher/flies and we got 1 hawg, but that was the only hit on them in 2 days! Most of the fish came off the riggers. I was running them on a "2" back 225 which was what the guys around us were catching them at. I was running same/similar flashers/flies, same GPS speed within a couple hundred yards of them and just couldn't get much to happen. Any thoughts????

Do not like to use anything that interferes with the fight of the fish. That includes flashers. Thank you bags
