Set the riggers at different depths and the dipseys at different lengths.
Just DON'T make sharp turns. Principle is to set lures in a U shape
vertically with deepest in the center and a U shape horizontally with those
in the center closest to the boat. 100s if not 1000s rigged this way on the
Great Lakes. We are allowed three lures= rods in the water for each fishing
license on board and so if we run 9 rods then we have the manpower plus the
autopilot to do it. Fred

Well, Fred - it would appear that I've been lost in space for a while.

I received this weeks issue of "The Fisherman" and right there, on
page 15 is a picture of what appears to be a 18 foot Grumman set up
with 12 rod holders, two downriggers and each downrigger set up for
two rods. How the hell you can keep track of all that, I haven't a
clue.. :)

Who 'da thunk it? Ain't never seen such. :)
