Pounding 'em at Palisades

[Kodiak1]

I too prefer the downriggers, not only because it is much more fun catching them on forgiving mono than lead core, but mainly because l.c. is not very precise. Trolling speed changes the depth, but with the downriggers and a good depth locator you can put the lure/bait right on them(or 1-2 feet above). I am convinced that flashers vs. dodgers, wedding rings vs. apex or triple teasers, plain shoepeg vs. scented, green vs. red, are not always all that important. The difference is usually whether you are on the fish or not, and trolling at the right speed. And when you are fishing for a fish that changes depth frequently that isn't always that easy. Don't you agree? Mike
