[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]All the fish were caught on Producer Prizm Shads, white with a little dark on the top. I don't have a temperature readout on my sonar, but the fish were all caught in about 9 feet of water, longlining with lots of line out the side of the boat. I use 8' Fenwick spinning rods, because that's what I still have from doing lots of striper fishing on the Sacramento River. They turn out to be perfect for these big wipers, along with casting outfits that are also long Fenwick rods. I like to get the rigs far out to the sides of the boat, but don't really like hassling with planer boards. I'll be out there at sunup tomorrow morning (Wednesday) to see if my wife can hook into some. Yes, I am TOTALLY hooked on these wipers already, especially since I was a very dedicated striper fisherman before moving to Utah in 1975. Thanks to all you guys for sharing your info so I felt like I knew pretty much about fishing for wipers before even going out the first time.[/size][/font]
