captpierre Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Saw a guy with scottys downrigging for walleye. Ever hear of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaf4 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Maybe they didn't feel like spending on some deep swim baits? Lol seems odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 They do it on Erie, in not so deep waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 sure. Gets you right to the depth you want...without having the guesswork of in-line weights! I was debating using dipsey divers for musky fishing when we were there a few weeks back but I never made it to the north end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I downrig Nipissing on the regular now, works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 You're right, Roger (Rizzo). A lot of folks think that down riggers are only used to fish deep. But pros use them to get their offerings to the proper depths no matter how shallow or deep they want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
