LBC Metolious arm on Saturday - got a late start but finally limited (2 people). Most were 10 - 11" with a couple 12". Color they wanted was pink. Caught some on wedding rings but mainly hoochies...

I've had good luck with using white shoe peg corn soaked in either tuna or garlic overnight. I have used both the commercial formulas along with just using tuna oil drained off a can of tuna and...

Good to know. Most of what I have are on the smaller side so going to try the 5.5 and see how they work. Thanks for the feed back. Probably more of excuse to get more gear, but oh well....

True that on the spending part! I have gone through a lot of the old posts and they mention color and make of dodger - just very little is mentioned on the length or size of the dodger. Curious if...

Nice! That is what it's all about. I am curious on where you get your orange hoochies. I am having a hard time finding some in solid orange in the 1.5 length.

With all the new styles and sizes of Dodgers, any recommended length that works particularly well? I've seen them from 3 1/2" to 6". Curious as to if size really matters when it comes to Dodgers. ...

Combination of reading the installation manual, talking with the manufacturer and having had downriggers in the past. I do agree that with handling heavy weights while setting lines and releases the...

Good for you. Be interested in how you did. Curious on the hoochie with a smile blade: I have always run mine plain with no blade. Do you see a difference with running it with a blade? I have...

It's a safety issue - right out of the Scotty manual: "The downrigger can be mounted on the side of the boat, the stern or off the corner. Downriggers work best if they are mounted near the stern of...

Good to know. We went up three weeks ago and limited using pink hoochies by the dam. Sounds like they might have moved out. Any word on how the Crooked River arm is doing? Tried the Deschutes and...

Considering that this was the advice from the dealer along with what the Scotty manual outlines, plus if you look at most of the mounted downriggers being in that range would be curious on what you...

Switched to hoochies last year - primarily in pink - and slayed them. Key is to fish a short leader with heavier line. I tie my own: double hooks on 12 lb test. Key is to keep the leader about 2...

Just put two new Scotty electrics on after having manual ones.....no comparison. Love them! Dealer told me to put them no further then 30" from the stern - as far back as reasonably feasible. Work...

Mike:

What lures were you catching them on?
