    definately an awesome thread....In my limited expereince and just to generalize, i would say you have to get out there and do it as often as possible and practice practice practice....more then the next guy. having a natural talent for fishing too probably gives one an advantage just like in pro sports...throw a deep passion for fishing on top of the mix and be happy that you have the chance to do what you love....maybey those are the basic ingredients. maybey im totally wrong just my thoughts.

    Thanks for the responses guys. Sounds like this info is helpful to more than a few of us. On the advice of Capt. Fred and others, I am moving my teaser reels to the tower and installing electronics up there (and a seat). I was going to wait until next year but I figure there is no sense in doing something unless you do it right! I am going to have some guns if I spend every day in the tower! I am also looking for a used downrigger to run my dredge this year. (Anyone have one they don't use?)
    Tight Lines,

    We use a really large swimming lure to get our dredge down. I think it works great. No matter what speed you decide to run, regardless of the weather, the dredge always stays below the surface. Also keeps from adding anymore weight to the dredge. As soon as the boat slows just pull it up. They cost like $60. A lot less expensive than a downrigger or dredge rod. I know a lot of the top guys still use weights and I'm a little curious as to why? Been thinking about it since I used it the first time.
