Well I talked my son into going to lake erie for some walleye action . They do things a little different out there then the bay so we are trying to learn . My son got his first walleye and it tipped the scale a 8 lbs . Then we got another 8 lber and a 9 lber to finish the trip . My personal best so far .
I wanted to post the details of the last fish to get some ideas . We used a worm harness set up while trolling large dipsy divers . When we stopped the boat to head in at 11;45 am we packed up the rods downriggers first and gear .This took about 10 minutes . All of a sudden the dipsy rod takes off . My first thought was a boat had picked up the line . Then when i realized it was a fish i figured it must have been a large sheep head . Turns out it was the 9 lb walleye .
Are these dipsys designed to float the lure up when not moving forward ? If I had more time I would have tested the amount of time I slow the boat to try and induce strikes . Any thoughts ?
I will try to post pics but I am finding it difficult to get them on .http://www.flickr.com/photos/57587590@N ... hotostream

A dipsy will not float when in neutral. It will sink. A Jet diver will float when in neutral which is why they are used in certain applications.

A dipsy however is surprisingly not that speed sensitive meaning the max depth at 2.5 mph vs 1.5 mph would not be significantly different, because it is a planing device and not just a weighted device. However, in neutral it will sink like a rock. Leadcore on the other hand is extremely speed sensitive as you increase speed it rises significantly. Max depth at 1.5 mph with 10 colours is something like 55ft down and at 2.5 mph it is like 30 ft down.
