Not sure if you've been out on the lake much before, but be careful. Perhaps the fishermen know what they're doing, but many (most?) people on the lake have no clue. Basic seamanship seems to be rarely practiced. Honestly, I'm surprised there aren't more accidents. Even though I live on Mercer Island, I rarely go out on the lake. Too crowded with clueless people...

Thank you for the info Chromer, gonna give it a shot this weekend. Warren I dont see why it would not work hooking pop gear to the rigger ball. I hook my flasher/dodger to the ball while trolling herring or spoons for salmon. Have got good results. Dont hook into more fish, but not less either. Lots more fun with a light fast action steelhead rod not fighting the flasher with the fish. Wont work troling a hoochie though. Hey Tom what do you figure that fish went for in your picture? What a HOG

I don't know if anyone else watched it, but this past Sunday the episode of Hawg Quest was cut plug fishing for cutt's on Lake Washington. They were fishing near the mouth of the Cedar river and did quite well.
