Ahhhhh yes... learn something new all the time. How 'bout that. I've never used anything but topwater or bait while fishing from a boat in the ocean. Honestly, didn't realize you guys trolled off a downrigger. I've seen wire line trolled, but up til now hadn't known downriggers were used around these parts.
My luck, I'd find every lobster trap that had a "sunken" buoy in the entire area.
Thanks for setting me straight. Good thing you guys keep an eye on me.
Re: Re: Hey Slipknot downriggers are for salt water
Isn't lobster season coming to an end soon or am I making that up? Those traps are annoying but fish do hold around them. :)
Tried wire line trolling for stripers once out of falmouth down on the cape. We used huge bucktails and must have been trolling at 10 knots or so. Caught good fish doing it too.
