When fishing deep water, a bobber stop can be set at 5 or 6 feet so you know when a fish is close to the hole, especially when fishing dirty water.

That's a good idea, use one as an indicator.....

I spend most my ice season on lake Erie catching steelhead not running bobbers works but with two rods about 20 feet apart I find I'm constantly staring at the rod tips for a bite when I use bobbers I can just look for the bobber tip and move onto the next rod running 2 rods and 3 jawjackers really keeps you busy

Ahh ok, that makes sense....thanks for clarifying, very helpful....

Hi All,

Why do you use bobbers/bobber stops at all?.....just wondering....

I use them on soft water a lot however; I'm not sure why I would use the on hard water unless I didn't have a flasher. Rod tips and spring bobbers seem to be ample for detecting a bite. Are there other reasons why a bobber would be used? Is it more of a preference thing?

Thanks in advance for any advice?

Andy

Fishing was tough as usual, especially for Dave. I got big saugeye and Russ took the crappie pot. I also got big fish. There were a fair number of crappies caught and only 2 or 3 saugeyes caught. The mud puppies were biting too. Would have been a nice day if the wind wasn't blowing so hard. Hope you make it to next Sat.

I'll be there.....

The day was slow. A couple of saugeye were caught and a few crappie.
 Team Rusty(salvage and recovery) caught a 5 pound Vex.
 I won $4 at the casino. Guess I will use that to buy some new gamma line. LOL

Good to hear fish are still being caught...I was gutted I wasn't well enough to come down to the docks....
