Still mulling over the fact that we didn't catch a single salmon this year in either Port Renfrew or Port Mcneill. Last year we couldn't keep em out if the boat. This year, not a bite. Caught some types of fish that we've never caught before and had a tough time catching the species we regularly target. After reading up on the subject, I blame this,

Bought a couple 12.5 lb downrigger weights. Made from two pieces of lead sandwiching a SS fin and bolted together with a stainless fastener. Clipped to the stock stainless clip on the stock stainless cable of my riggers, I think I may have a voltage issue. I'll eventually switch to braided line but there's mot many hours on these ones so will do this first.

I've never believed the voltage myth but I'm rethinking it now. The lack of salmon was my first surprise, but I havnt caught a rainbow yet either with the new weights. Kokanee don't seem to mind them neither do Dolly's, trout though are a different story. Never had such a tough time trying to hook one up. Changing the clips today but won't be able to test them out till next weekend. Will post my results then.
