Downrigger set up
« on: May 10, 2007, 08:10 PM »
Not happy with the way the previous owner set up the downriggers on my boat.   Looking for ideas of how to best relocate them.
The one downrigger goes right over the kicker motor and I am worried about getting tangled in the prop.
Please post pics so I can steal your ideas
Thanks

If the rule is 5 fish or 5 pounds, what if the 5th fish weighs 5 pounds?

Yes, after much looking and talking I have found out why the one rigger was set up over the kicker the kicker motor.   When salmon fishing I ran the lure right at the end of the prop wash and was having great success.
