Got a late start so we missed fishing with all of you in the tourny. We started notrth of the wreck in 95 fow . Not much going on for us ,no bait but managed 1 steelie out there. Moved west towards Chicago into 65-75 fow and found the bait. Big thanks to the capt of the big boat for the help (we were the Lund) I think we were the only ones left out there.Managed to go 8 for 13. Found 2 steelies and 6 coho. The others came unbuttoned within the first 30 sec. :angry: I will have to try giving a little more drag next time. We had a great time and the fireworks were awesome from out there!
How far back do most of you run your rigger leads? Also, We used a shuttle hawk to stack on one rigger this time and it turned out to get bit the most. Anyone else using this?

If I'm running a rotator/flasher, I like to run it 15'-20' back of a rigger. Spoons 30'-50'

Thanks guys, we are still getting a system down for this boat. Sounds like I need to stretch out the ball line a little.
