THAT'S CORRECT THE WATER TEMP FROM THE NE WINDS PUSHED IN COLD WATER. DEC GUY TOLD ME PERCH WERE PUSHED INTO THEIR NETS AT 36 FEET ALMOST UNHEARD OF. WE COULD SEE A THERMOCLINE AT 50 FT. YES DIPSY'S WORK I'VE USED THEM BUT MY SYSTEM GIVE ME MORE DEPTH CONTROL WHEN BOUNCING NEAR THE BOTTOM WITH LESS LINE OUT NORMALLY. THE FISH WILL TELL YOU IF YOUR DOING IT RIGHT! IF IT WORKS AND CATCHING FISH USE IT. DIPSY'S COULD BE BETTER FOR THOSE FISH SUSPENDED OVER DEEP WATER. WHERE DID YOU GET THE DIPSY DIVER CHARTS FROM?

I have sinkers up to 8 oz but had 5 & 6 oz on that day, rods go into rod holder troll and wait for bite. i can troll 4 to 5 rods out of my boat usually 4. The rule of thumb is 1 oz for every 10 ft of depth but you can troll shallower or 10 ft or so deeper extra line and trolling speed matter.. Even when we fished for suspended fish we kept the 5 & 6 oz sinkers on and used our line counters.

STILLWATER WE STARTED AT 7:30 AM QUIT AT 5 PM SPENT A GOOD SHARE OF THE MORNING CHASING MARKS AROUND THE PACK ON THE BOTTOM THAT WOULDN'T BITE. EVERYTHING WE DID WAS TROLLING THAT'S HOW I ROLL WITH BB'ERS AND MY HONDA 9.9; BUT LATER WE SWITCHED TO THE ELECTRIC MOTOR ONLY WHEN WE WENT DEEP THX TO THE SPARROW SO WE COULD GET INTO THE STEALTH MODE ON THE SUSPENDED FISH. IT WAS SPOTTY MOSTLY IN THE AFTERNOON THE DEEPER WE WENT THE MORE FISH AND BAIT WE SAW. HOWEVER THERE WERE QUITE A FEW FISH THAT WOULD NOT BITE, MORE NONE BITERS THAN BITERS. A COUPLE OF TIMES WE GOT SEVERAL FISH PUT DOWN WAYPOINTS AND WORKED THEM TO NO AVAIL. AT THE END OF THE DAY WITH THE LAKE TO OURSELVES NO REAL CHOP WE TROLLED FOR 1 1/2 HRS W/O A BITE SO WE CALLED IT A FINE BUT CHALLENGING DAY. A FRIEND OF MINE'S BROTHER WENT OUT ON SAT. BUT ONLY CAUGHT 1 EYE. HE ALSO WENT DEEP. HE ALSO SAID NO ONE DID GOOD ON SAT. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE BUT IT WAS TRUE FOR HIM. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.

I MEANT TO SAY HOW WAS THE FISHING OUT OF THE CATT ON SATURDAY. DUH I AM GETTING OLD. LOL.

HOW WAS THE FISHING OUT OF THE CATT ON SUNDAY ANYONE?

THE CATT POSTED ON BUFFALO REPORT BY MISTAKE.

I GOT TO FISH WITH J. SPARROW OUT OF THE CATT RETURNING THE FAVOR OF FISH OUT OF HIS BOAT HIS WAY. I WAS GOING TO SHOW THE SPARROW HOW TO BOTTOM BOUNCE THE KISS WAY. (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID WAY) SO WE WENT TO 75 FT PUT THE N WIND AT OUR TAIL AND STARTED GOING SHALLOWER TRYING TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE EYES. GUESS WHAT NO BITES IN 2 HOURS. OH NO I KNEW IT MIGHT BE TUFF BUT TUFF AS NAILS YIKES EMBARRASSIUNG. HOWEVER I HAD MENTIONED TO SPARROW DON'T BE AFRAID TO MAKE SUGGESTIIONS SO HE DID TG!!! OUT TO DEEPER WATER WE WENT. LOOK AT THE FF'ER THERE WERE SUSPENDED EYES AND BAIT BUT I ONLY HAD BOTTOM BOUNCERS WITH WORM HARNESSES AND BIG SINKERS WERE WE GOING TO BONK THEM ON THE HEAD AND NET THEM? SPARROW SUGGESTED WE ONLY WE ONLY LOWER OUR BB'ERS FARENOUGH TO FIND THE STRIKE ZONEOF THE ELUSIVE EYES. SHORTLY THERE AFTER BANG A BITE SPARROW SAYS FISH ONOMG IT WORKS!!! THERE WASGOLD IN THE NET GOLD IN THE BOX GOLD IN THE FRYING PAN. THE FISHING WASN'T FAST AND FURIOUS BUT WE GOT 8. THE KID HAD 3 ON THAT I LOST PLUS WE BOTH MISSED SOME HITS. SO I LEARNEDA LOT BECAUSE I GOT A LOT TO LEARN. IF THE FISH AREN'T SHALLOW GO DEEP AND 2 AGAINST 1 WORKS AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BONK EM ON THE HEAD OR SET OFF DEPTH CHARGES WHEN THE FISH ARE DEEP AND SUSPENDED!!! THANKS J. SPARROW FOR YOUR EXPERTISE, SUGGESTIONS AND COMRADERY. WE'LL DO AGAIN SOMETIME THE LORD WILLING AND THE CREEK DON'T RISE!

THE CISCO KID SAYS THANK YOU TO J. SPARROW A GOOD SKIPPER AND MAN WITH MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SETTING UP DOWNRIGGERS, DIPSYS ON WIRE AND PLANER BOARDS THEN I EVER WANT TO LEARN OR COULD LEARN AS I AM A BOTTOM BOUNCER. YOU KNOW A SINKER A WORM AND I AM FISHN PURE SIMPLICITY. HE TENDED 6 RODS DROVE THE BOAT READ THE GARMIN BAITED THE HOOKS ( I WAS THE WORM HANDER OUTER.) HE MADE IT LOOK EASY. I WAS SWEATING JUST WATCHING HIM UNTIL HE PUT UP THE BIG BIMINI TOP ON HIS WELL EQUIPPED CRESTLINER 1850 COMMANDER. THERE IS SO MUCH ROOM IN THE BACK OF THE BOAT WE COULD HAVE HOSTED AMERICAN BANDSTAND. DOES THAT GIVE AWAY MY AGE HA,HA? YEP 10 SWEETMEAT EYES NO PONCHO, NO WHISKEY, NO WINE JUST A FUN DAY GOOD FISHN AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE.

Begging the question if the fish snapped 20 pound test with 2 head shakes do you think your drag might have been set to tight or something else? Thx for the report.
