    One thing I always do when down-rigging is run a slider. That is about 3 to 4 feet of line with a snap swivel on each end, put your lure on one end and snap the other end on your already set line ( line on downrigger ball) The slider slides down your line to approximately half way, whatever you put your downrigger down to and you cover two depts of the same water legally, at least in our area of the Great Lakes.

I'm basically one of those guys out there splashing around in his shorts in the freezing cold water not catching anything but having a real good time so far. Thanks for the inspiration. And of course go Giants!

    Personally ive always caught more fish trolling/mooching from the docks with bait over hoochies, buzz bombs or point wilsons. But as a rule of thumb from someone whose worked at a tackle shop for years, coho killers in purple/green splatterback colors and kingfishers in greens and black/white always do well and more people generally tend to run the green variants of flashers though anything with a nice shimmer tends to be a nice attractant.

    Search for "dummy flasher" on UA-cam, this technique was a game changer for me. A dummy flasher hooks up to your downrigger ball or cable and the bait is hooked up about 18" above that on the cable. That way you still get the benefit of the flasher, but if the salmon takes your bait you aren't fighting the flasher.

    • @slacktide_angler
      @slacktide_angler 4 роки тому

      I might want to try this. Do you ever get tangles between the flasher and mainline/release clip?

    • @kylekertscher2106
      @kylekertscher2106 4 роки тому +1

      @@slacktide_angler no I always make sure the ball is deep enough that the flasher is swinging, then I clip on my bait 18 to 24 inches above the flasher. Then let it down at a slow to moderate speed. Make sure the flasher has a good quality swivel on it. If you are on a kayak you might want to send the ball down first, get your speed going then send the bait down on a Shuttle Hawk to keep everything straight.

    I fish with a flasher 90% of the time. Hoochie + flasher and spoons + flasher will work anywhere. You can use a long leader for spoon and bait. The flasher attracts a lot more fish. You can also rig "false-flashers" to your down rigger wire but not your line. Fighting the flasher can be a big downside. Right as the fish gets to the surface the flashers can make it hard to keep pressure to the fish occasionally. The fish can also use it for leverage as well. I avoid these issues by keeping the motor engaged- (it can help to have your friend engaging and disengaging the motor to keep tension)
