Removed’ BINGO. The wipers are there. It’s up to us fishermen to make them bite. [sly]
My boat hasn’t been skunked all year. 
Curious to what your average is? 2 fish a day? 10 fish a day? 20 fish a day. If you have figured out how to catch them thats great. for you[:p]
Between 1 and 6 but the last 3 times it’s been 1 boated. I did have this happen:

Them wipers do that to lures, never had the lure break but had many hooks straighten out or break.
so have you been fishing deep divers all summer, makes since because all the fish I have heard of being caught have been in the lower part of the water column. we caught the one we caught after the lure rested on the bottom and got nailed right as soon as he started reeling.[fishin]
I’ve had them break jointed shadraps in half on 3 occasions. Lots of straightened hooks and even one straightened split ring! Gotta remember to loosen the drag after every fish landed…
All the fish we’ve caught while trolling in the last 2 years were in the lower half of the water column in 16- 20 feet. As we troll over the fish, I can usually tell by looking at the finder if there are wipers in the feeding zone.
