Maybe you should take Dan and me out for some lessons. LOLI can't keep fish off mine.
On my outtings I haven't bothered with leadcore as I'm too busy with just 2 lines.
I've been slamming fish before I can even get the rod back in the holder
One dipsy is gold and other is white with blue pokadots I think with a snubber and around 8 foot leader. #3 setting with 155 and 160 out pulling rippling red fins in 54 to 60 for
Try just getting your line out deeper. You should have atleast 140 + out
Friday I landed 30+ fish in less than 2 hours on this set up
Also.... what length is your leader.... I generally use 7-8'

i slowly real in my fish to avoid harming fish blow bag etc...i never have a problem with skipping dipsy atop of water dragging little ones...now i troll alot slower than you guys in the west which plays a part in the skipping issue..I release all eyes under 2lbs almost all are healthy when released any that are not i keep...Id like to have riggers on my boat but i find it takes up to much space...I like to feel the fish fight which is why i like to fish...and for that reason i avoid deadcore at all costs ..id have just as much fun reeling in a 10 lb anchor lol...the fish down in the east ive been getting lately are averaging 4 to 8 lbs ..with the odd hog and a few dinksskipping the dipsey ontop of the water with your little pickeral behind is not my idea of fun...
riggers have been not stop this week...running short leads down 47 and 53 and 57 for bigger fish where they stay deep right to the boat
at least you get thumping head shakes running straight mono and riggers...but i guess not all of us can afford downriggers
i do have one wire dipsy rod, that i use occasionally for rainbows...black divers & copper spoons work glasgow to wheatly
