[quote jurkneyes]Wet1, thanks... I am very new to using a down rigger. In the situation I was fishing last Friday it was such a small area I didn't dare put it back more then 50'. But honestly I don't think I would have even thought of going that far back. I will defiantly try that next time.[/quote]
100' set back off the down rigger will work this time of year. change your downriggers from 10' to 30' down, when it warms up and the kokes go deeper my set back is from 50' to 30'. on the planer board your 35' set back ' should work, I go 50' set back. put weight about 3' back of the dodger to get it down 10' to 15'
last week I saw a school of kokes down 60' on the finder most kokes are scattered this time of year, one or two together not a lot of schools.
you can catch 10 kokes and not see them on the fishfinder this time of year.
and most of the big kokes are on the wy side.
but I have got a lot of kokes at Hideout.
