<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Friends,</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Has anyone tried using a plug and a spoon behind a dispy diver? I got some literature today and using a 3 way swivel you can use the plug as the bottom bait and use a spoon above the plug. Of course you are using two seperate leaders off of the the dipsy for each bait. Was just wondering if anyone has tried this? I'd like to give it a go but for me all I see is a tangled mess happening!! I haven't had much luck this season on Central Basin walleye where alot of other guys are just killing the "eyes". </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">I have been using 40 Jets pulling either scorpion spoons,crawler harness,or jointed Rapalas. Have also been using dipsys on a 3.5 setting with spoons or worm harness but have caught all of my eyes except one on the Jets. </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">I went thru the gamut of colors on spoons and the most consistent color so far for me has been silver watermelon. Didn't get out much when the hot colors was anything copper because of either work or the lake was to rough to fish. </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Very frustrated but willing to keep trying.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Thanks</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Joe</P>
<P>Joe, have used a deep diver plug and a spoon on a three way swivel but never behind a dipsy, also used a deep plug with no hooks just to get a spoon down in shallow water now I'am telling all the secrets...<IMG src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" align=absMiddle border=0></P>
<P>the deep diving plugs will make the dipsey turn over and create a mess w/ the others.you can prolly use a SHALLOW RUNNING PLUG LIKE A REGULAR RAPALA OR A HUSKY JERK.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Joe,</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Give me a call sometime. We're killing the walleye this year. You'll have to come out on my boat and see how we set up. I know I've leaned alot by going on other people's boats before I new what I knew the secrets.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Scott</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">LoweRider (Hunting)</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Hi Tail'N (Fishing)</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">You gotta be willing to change things up frequently if you know you are on fish, but aren't catching any. Change the spoon. Change the size of the spoon. Pull some cranks or harnesses. Pull the Dipsy in 5-10 feet. Let the Dipsy out 5-10 feet more. Keep changing until you find a program.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Although everyone is saying this is generally an easy year to catch a lot of fish, I have never switched programs so many times in a day or week before. For the last few years, you could throw out a Confusion and Blueberry Muffin spoon on a Dipsy set 90 feet back, and catch some fish. This year, the favorite color of spoon changes hour by hour, as does the depth of the fish.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Keep changing your program, maybe every ten to fifteen minutes, and you'll find something the fish want.</P>

Like SBE said, run a shallow crank below the spoon if you are using a dipsey. Reef Runners or deep cranks will flip and give you a giant twisted clusterf#ck! LoL We have used this method late in the year out of Huron with some success...a spoon with a 4-6 foot lead up top and a Ripstick with a 6 foot lead worked best for us....let the dipsey out using only the drag, do not let it out any faster than a slow click....<br>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">This summer I got a reel with a counter attached to it just for trolling the lake. This allows you to set your baits at a consistent depth each time. This allows you to keep your bait in the zone time after time which will increase your success. I went on a charter and this is how they set the baits each time. You can go to the Dipsy website and they have charts on how to set the baits effectively.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Kyle</P>
