Downrigger Fishing

[GeoFisher]

another question if you don't mind. how far back from the ball, is a good distance for the bait. if I'm trolling with my big motor. the fish I've been seeing on laurel are about 30ft deep, will the big motor spook them?

Last weekend while salmon fishing, they used a rubber band instead of the clips for the down rods. Basically the wrapped the rubber band around the line and then hooked it to a clip on the ball. This worked much better than the clips, according to the guys.

I don't know. I've been on charters that used both.

Later,

hey man, thanks for the info. this is new to me, but I'll get it. now I guess I'm a little slow on some things, I don't see the picture your showing me with the rubber bands. are you saying instead of putting the fishing line in a release clip at the ball, wrap a rubber band around the fishing line and clip it instead of the line.
