This is related to the downrigger thread, but I didn't want to hijack that thread with this topic. How far back to you set your lure behind your downriggers?
This quote from HiTechKoke was on the downrigger thread:
"Unless you have the lake to yourself you won't be too popular using lead core... for better or worse as the Kokanee fishing guys run around cutting back and forth like drunk sailors . Yes.. I'm guilty of that.
In reality we are narrowing down on the schools and with our relatively short setbacks we can turn the boat and criss-cross with too much fear of running over the longer lines of those using lead core. The majority of the Koke fishing in California dictates going deeper beyond the lead core range except maybe in spring or the high mountain lakes where the waters stay cooler."
Does this imply that during Koke tournaments, boats are running shorter setbacks to avoid the lines of all the other boats?
