[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 116050, member: 983"] After doing some salmon fishing in Alaska last summer I have gotten some interest in chasing them on Lake Oahe. Seems to be some guys on here that chase them on Sak so figured I could get some advice on tackle. I've acquired a two downriggers and mounts for the boat for basically nothing. Am currently working on rigging them up. Have 12# downrigger balls. Additionally, I have two 9' downrigger rods with counters. I also have several excess 9' planer board rods that I may use as secondary rods (either for stacked setups on the riggers or dipsey setups). My main questions revolve around setups from the downrigger ball back. I could ask a million questions but just general setups of what you've had success with. Snubbers Y/N, flashers & dodgers (color & size), spoons and livebait setups, leader lengths, etc. I am not looking to go all out into this. I plan to do it a few weekends in late summer to fill the lull and change things up. We also have a lake trout fishery in my area that I could use the setups for as well. Just looking for some advice on where to start and what are some reliable starting setups. [/QUOTE]
