this will be my vary first year with a down rigger.
wanted one for years, I couldnt afford one but broke down and got it any way... It helped that is was on clearance [angelic]
I have done a lot of deap fishing, only I spent most of my time waiting for calm days whith winds around 2-3 miles an hour, other wise my line is comming up and way back so I never know where my rig truly is and that makes it extreamily difficult to repeat on the next pass.
so I am open for most any down rigging sugestions and tips, and would realy like to hear about any thing you discover...
I am starting with a 10 pound fish cannonball, "for any one who dosnt know what I am talking about, it is a lead fish that looks like a sucker and weighs about 10 pounds...
I figure with a 10 pound cannonball I should be able to troll at faster speads so 8-10 mile an hour. "I hope" I think that is the trolling spead for the big salmon sized trout but again I am only guessing because that is what I see the big charter boats moving at on the great lakes.
