..........well I fished this past Saturday as I said I would. We had high winds and could only fish till noon so doing all the compairing that I wanted to was cut short. Anyway.......

My glass boat natural voltage is .425, no BB used (I don't have one yet)
I ran 4 downriggers. Two center with sliders (cheaters) and two with out. Set backs were checked 2 ways, less than 15' and greater than 25'. We caught fish on all four downriggers and at all settings. Caught 10 fish total, 4 browns, 4 salmon, 1 rainbow & 1 laker. There was no real pattern established other than lure size (small - 1 3/4" to 2"). The two center downriggers with the short lines did get more fish than the outer ones but not enough fish caught to draw any conclusions.

Deer season has started here in New York so fishing will be on hold until late December and by then all my fishing will on the surface using plannerboards. Downriggers will start back up in late May so till then the BB issue for me will be a read and listen activity. This winters Sportmens Shows will be a good opportunity for me to talk with some of the charter captains and here what they are doing (if anything at all)with the BB in our local waters. Thanks for all the information that I got from this board. I'll be reading it frequently.
