[QUOTE="Ugly Dogs, post: 176593, member: 974"] About 15 years ago was the first time I used downriggers and had no clue what I was getting into. I started talking to a guy at the ramp and asking him questions. He was telling me about dragging his cannon balls in the mud and other tactics. He said if I get into trouble give him a call on the marine band radio. His handle was ironically "downrigger". He gave me the best advise of all. Make sure your clutch was adjusted right. I was on the water less than hour and I hung up in a tree off of the Riverdale bluffs. If I would have left my clutch the way they were my downrigger would have ripped off of my boat. Something else I learned from the "downrigger" was running add-a-lines for salmon and walleye. Basically running multiple crank baits or baits on one rod. Very successful for salmon and walleye.
