3 or 4 colors between 1.5 and 1.8 mph, half a worm and a pink Berkeley maggot.

10/23/2021 8:59:20 PMNice report! If you read my reports, I'm a no dodger guy, Kekeda fly tipped with worm, almost never below 1.8mph and a trollimng pattern like a drunken sailor. :-)

I usually run 2 long lines and 2 DR's, but gonna experiment 1 rod with leaded line next weekend. Maybe it'll work so well I can post as many successful posts as you??

10/24/2021 1:15:08 PMI've been using leadcore so long I've forgotten when I started. With a 50' fluorocarbon leader and snap lock swivel to attach the fly, it has been an incredibly successful setup 150' behind the boat. The past few years I've stopped long lining plugs as they just haven't produced much, they are, however, rigged and ready to deploy if needed. If I had to choose between leadcore, long lining mono, or downriggers, it would be leadcore hands down.
My downriggers spend more time on the storage shelf than on our boat. ;-)
