Dipsy:80# Power Pro,#3 setting 4'mono leader 175'-195'on the counter.

Leadcore:8 & 10 color lead Church walleye boards (Mag glo spoons early AM HOT!!).

Two tips that we experimented with that worked great.
Off the port side rigger next to the dipsy with the BLK MAMBA MR, we took a Rapture three fly rig (red pepper)with a 36" mono leader and tied on a 3.75" size stinger spoon(deep purple)and ran it clean(no dodger/flasher)
you will need to put on a split ring on the spoon to make it run true this way.

To add a little more action to the meat rigs (only in the early AM).We took a small glo stick 2.5" and attached it behind the meat head just in front of the hook. And used small zip ties to attach the stick to the line instead of tubing. This didn't change the action of the rig. Again this worked very well in the early AM!!

My family and I would like to send our prayers and well wishes to all the folks affected by the major flooding in the mid west.

With the unstable weather we are having please make sure you keep SAFETY FIRST!!

God Bless
Fish On! Capt.Mike
