Quinte Fishing

Has anyone had success using downriggers in Adolphus Reach in the late fall...Just recently installed mine and was thinking about trying it out up that way...any suggestions or comments would really be a help...thanks

I have caught fish on them but wont use them anymore, if u do set your releases very light. I dont put a lure below 30 feet becaus it makes it harder to release fish that come deep.

ive got em on the riggers. use the scotty mini releases on the light setting and youll be fine.

First time using riggers...was thinking of running reef runners or maybe small single blade harnesses...any suggestions for a first timer???

Reef runners are a great lure choice. There are others from all the major lure manufacturers. You don't need to troll deep at some times, shallower can be more productive.
Planer boards can be very effective and get the lures away from your boat to minimize the noise of the motor.

how much line do you put out behind when using a downrigger?

if you can longer than 50-75 feet and your using mono the fish wont release
