8 Line Limit - What would You Run

[GLF]

You are out fishing with your fishing partners, and are going to run 8 lines. What would you run? Down riggers, divers, lead core, etc, etc, etc.

I realize time of year needs to be factored into the the equation. What would you run spring, summer, and fall? Also, what baits would you run on your lines?

4 riggers/ 2 divers /2 cores

This is by far my favorite set up, but the set up depends on whether you are searching for fish or on fish dictates what spread I put out. For searching, I run the 2 riggers with sliders, one 0 dipsey down the shoot, one wire diver with meat. 2 leadcore, one full, one 1/2 with a snap weight, then 2 dipsys on each side. one on 2 and the other on 3, same side as the meat. This gives me a program to search. Once I start to get dialed in, I start changing to what the fish want. It is not uncommon to put spinnys on 3 dispseys and 2 riggers if that is what they are hitting on. If it is a meat bite, everything gets the meat program except for the riggers. I like the double spoons still searching out the odd fish. in a seach program, you can start to dial in the rods as you take a fish, color, lure size, lure type etc.

The 8 rod program in my opinon is the easiest to run with 3 on board. go to 9 and the 9th tends to be a core or another down the shoot and the odds of tangles go up. But, and I say but, if you have the expierance, and a 4th on board, adding that next 3 rods is a piece of cake. But, I am convinced that adding more rods in the water just because does not help other then to make more work top side.
