Ashtabula July 23

[Toxic]

First off let me say thank you to all who responded back to me. My day started out pretty lousy for me. Got on the water at 7am. We were about 4 miles out and I heard a noise coming form the back of my boat. As I turned around I saw my Downrigger hanging onto my kicker motor. I have no clue how this this thing came off its swivel base. Long story short, it is now museum materiel in Davey's Jones locker. We made it out to 70 FOW and was marking fish like crazy. I ran 2 dipsys #3 setting @200-220, 1 dipsy #0 @175, 1 #2.5 @180, and my last remaining downrigger at 66' with meat on a harness. I picked up only 1 eye on meat, the rest was trash fish. I ran stingers off the dipsy trolling @ 2.5mph. The hot color was anything with purple. We ended up I thought with 15 (someone hit the clicker twice) but actually had 13. Just short of a 3 man limit, one of the guys got deathly ill on the boat and we had to head in around 1pm. If anyone snags a downrigger let me know
