Sure,... Catching most of my fish on the downriggers with horizontal and vertical attractors (Chappy's), trailing a color matching lure (D.B. or Mini Gun) 6' behind and two feet up. 38' down yesterday staying just above the thermocline. In the A.M. when I was by myself I only fished the riggers. Also caught a few on straight lead right off the side of the boat 8 colors in the water in the afternoon. Caught zip off the planer boards. Planers haven't been nearly as productive as the riggers. Planers were catching 90% of my fish earlier in the season but now have died off. The attractors are bringing the fish in especially when you find the bait fish and troll through them.
Sorry no pics, I try to get the fish back in the water as quickly as possible and I was by myself in the morning so it's a pain. I wish I would have taken pics of one of the rainbows I caught yesterday with my wife, just a real beautiful fish 20" with spectacular colors, but after dragging him up 8 colors and 80' of leader he barely made it when I released him, he floated for a bit and I had to swing around and massage him back to consciousness. I like catching them on the downriggers better as survival chances drastically increases.
Hope this helps!
