Wow!!!!, I hope to get it figured out some day. I fished 33 trips to GP this year and my best day was 6 in the cooler and that was the derby day where I placed 11th. I use all the producing gear and can not get the success rate up, I am going to try different release clips this year and let the fish release themselves from the clip and hope that helps.
releases
I use shasta releases and find them to be the most consistant day after day. I would also recomend using the same weight line on all your rigs that way your not having to reset your releases. Once you get that all set up it's a breeze to catching fish. One of my best approaches to catching a lot of fish is watching the end of that pole if I get a strike and the release doen't pop I'll grab that pole and pop the release 50% of the time I'll have a fish on. Do this every time that pole indicates a strike. I also stack doubles on both downriggers One off the ball of 2' above if I'm running ball trolls of my ball. The top line I snap a shasta release on a 2 oz. carabeaner that's usually the middle sized one if you go to the hardware store. I let my line out the back of the boat 10' to 15' clip on the release to my line then snap the carabeaner on my downrigger cable and with a line counter on that rig let my line down 10' above the other line then hang on because your going to get tripples if you go through a school of fish. I' m still waiting for that quad which I have'nt had the pleasure as of yet. Wow what a lot of action if you get to keep all those fish on. Pass me the net I'm next.101chromefish101 P.S. make several of the carrabeaners up with the shasta releases so if you do get a fish on the top rig the carabeaner will slide down to the ball you clip on another one and down you go again without have to bring your down rigger up some times I"ll have 5 or six clips hanging off my ball before I bring it back up.[email protected]

I'll second that.... Shasta Tackle makes a great release once you have them set your good to go.. I've had people tell me that they can't get them set and it's because they are turning that screw adjustment to much.. It doesnt take much of a turn to make a major adjustment, but I can adjust them so a six inch kok will release them if need be. You won't be dragging Kokanee around the lake with this release plus you'll have a consistent release when fishing which is very important in my eyes. Kokaneekid gives them two thumbs up!!

I caught one 11 inch Koke at 7 feet and 30 pulls on the downrigger, uv green sling blade and pink mini hoochie. Fish were suspended from 80 feet up to the surface. Awesome weather and I was surprised to see only one other boat out there. fished from 8:30 to 3:00.

Water was pretty cloudy, we could see our gear down two feet. As long as the weather cooperates it should clear up pretty quick.
