@@plattinumfishing Thank you. I caught one in around 50 ft depth near Toronto a couple of years ago then stopped trying. I hope to start again this summer
Awesome, it's very addicting! Most guys will run wire line on a line counter reel for dipsies but 40lb braid works well too. I set mine on number 3 to get it further from the boat and use a chart to determine how much line I need to achieve the depth I want. youtube "how to use dipsy diver" and you will see how they work.
No problem man! I use size 1 which is the standard size. They also make mags which are size 3 I believe and they dive even deeper. Dipsies are a huge producer on my boat, some days they out fish the riggers by a long shot.
Great video! I fish solo most of the time myself out of Webster, NY and have the same reaction when a big one like that gets on the line. "Oh, boy, here we go" ... it's part excitement and part intimidation. Will I get this big boy into the boat.
@@marinasalehi5267 keep at it! It takes awhile to figure everything out and even then sometimes the fish just aren't on the bite. I'm still learning everytime I'm out
What did that last one weigh. Nice to see people put in work to revive. Fishing with kids can really push the limits of what's survivable for fish. I've sat for 30 minutes in a slow moving stream with a nice steelhead in very cold water to get her to swim off
I didn't weigh that one, but I would guess 23-24lb. I agree it can make it more difficult handling/releasing fish with children, but it provides a great education opportunity to pass on our love for the sport.
@@plattinumfishing That may have been a 30lber. How did you not weigh that????? I'll give you props for putting it back, but chances are she died shortly thereafter. Too much lactic acid builds up during the fight and they die.
Nice fish I live on Vancouver Island so I know how fun a big slab on is. Why do you guys in the great lakes use level winds all the time? You rarely see someone fighting a fish here with one. Grab a mooching reel I recommend the islander reel they are also called knuckle Dusters lol. So much more fun just you and the fish 1 on 1 drag I loosen off completely and I use the palm of my hand. Anyway that is a beautiful slab.
Thanks man, I take that as a big compliment coming from a west coast salmon fisherman! It's funny you ask that question, I was just explaining to a buddy the other day how the west coast guys make fun of us for using our fancy level winds while they use 1:1 mooching reels. I'm not really sure why level winds are the staple here. Maybe it's the high stakes tourney game. I do it for the love of fishing, and the thrill of hooking into a mean chinook to me is unmatched by anything else. I'd love to tango with a big king on a mooching reel. I'm planning on getting one to start and have been looking at them but god damn they aren't cheap, especially islanders. Maybe that's another reason lol. You got any recommendations where to get a budget friendly one to start?
@@plattinumfishing yah there not cheap i use the islander steelheader centerpin in river for steelhead and salmon beautiful reel but no drag so not good trolling. daiwa makes 1 called mr2 something like that no where near as nice as a hardy or islander u can get them for 60-90 dollars they dont sound as good when fish running but they have bigger knobs and easy to learn on. i found this site called facebook market place type in your area theres tons of stuff. I will let u know if i see some good ones. forgot to say earlier if u want to outfish everyone use a tomic plug 4" and 5" the 5" tubby is killer plug number is 602 it glows. If you cant find 1 let me know ill send u 1 ive always wanted to see how it would work on the lakes it slays here especially early morning when still dark. ericluscombe29@gmail.com send me an email if u want then ill have yours. if not no prob.
@@plattinumfishing hey how has the fishing been in your neck of the woods? Did you get my email with the plugs. Fishing here is the beginning of the big fish eating every thing in sight.
Mustang self-inflating vest will save your life young man. One mistake, you’re over the side into deep cold water, and the boat just keeps pulling away from you….heck of a way to pass from this life. Wise up, your family & friends love you.
Ya I'm not much of a UA-camr lol. Have a hard time having a conversation with a camera. This was 220 back on braid with dipsy on 3 setting. Rigger down 60. Moonshine spoons. Thanks!!

Thanks! Was in 120ft deep with my lines down around 60-70ft

Great shots of strikes. How long of a leader do you use behind the dipsy Thanks Mike.
Hey Mike, Thanks! I run 8ft leaders with 30lb fluoro off my dipsies
Great video. I just started fishing Lake Ontario this year. If you don’t mind me asking how do you set you dipsy up?

Plattinum Fishing thanks man appreciate it!! Looking forward to new videos. What size dipsy do you run, or do you change it up?
No problem man! I use size 1 which is the standard size. They also make mags which are size 3 I believe and they dive even deeper. Dipsies are a huge producer on my boat, some days they out fish the riggers by a long shot.

Thanks! Haha, you nailed it. It certainly is a feeling that can only be experienced by solo fishing on big water!
Nice work my friend. If you dont mind me asking. What kind of Lund boat are you in and what size motor are you trolling with?
thanks! 2016 Rebel 1650 with a 60hp merc
If you dont mind, what lure were you using on the end of that Dipsy
Just a straight spoon, a green moonshine mag.
9:42 wow nice release man. Was a big mama
Awesome catch. How fast do you need to troll with the dipsy?
Whatever speed you need for your bait. Generally between 2mph and 3mph
@@plattinumfishing I've gone out a couple of times, but no luck sadly. Thanks for replying 🙂
@@marinasalehi5267 keep at it! It takes awhile to figure everything out and even then sometimes the fish just aren't on the bite. I'm still learning everytime I'm out
How long is leader from dipsey to spoon
8ft

Washington state here and we rarely see anyone not using a level wind

You're right sir. No excuses for not wearing one. I will be investing in one.
@@plattinumfishing you take me fishing for these Kings, I’ll buy you one!
I fish solo way more than I like to, tough netting the big ones alone, good on ya!
Thanks! Solo is a whole different ball game that's for sure!
Very spiritual moments solo catching monsters
It truly is
It probably wouldn't hurt to say what type of spoon or lure you using and how deep you put your dipsy back, nice job by yourself that's not easy
Ya I'm not much of a UA-camr lol. Have a hard time having a conversation with a camera. This was 220 back on braid with dipsy on 3 setting. Rigger down 60. Moonshine spoons. Thanks!!
220 back on a 3 setting, so how deep would that be? And how long are your leaders to your moonshine spoon?
I would upgrade to metal rod holders. Gonna lose everything at some point. Trust me unfortunately speaking from experience.
Yes that was done before this season! The plastic ones looked like they were going to explode on big dipsy hits.
It's tough alone out there
Quick hook up for sure 👍
nice king brother! new sub! here is to the FISH GODs that both our channels keep growing
Thanks brother threw you a sub too!
@@plattinumfishing much respect Thank You.
Made it oot
Put the dipsy oot
Beauties! I wanna get a boat and go salmon trolling when I’m older
I catch them in the fall float fishing
If you like them on a float rod you will love them screaming line off the back of a boat! Save your pennies it's a great investment!
That is humongus salmon. I never caught one yet
