Anyone ever use downriggers with artificials to catch the reds on Fairfield?

All the time

Yes, but not during the summer's hottest period.

Thanks Don with the downrigger INFO

This old gray headed fat boy can't stand to sit still past mid-morning in this heat we are having. Especially with zero wind like we had at Braunig last weekend. Man, I'm ready for fall temps.

Sun Umbrella!

worst cse if you are trolling the big Golfer rain umbrella cost about $10.

PS we have also arranged about 10 hours of non sunlight hours for you, have at it.

(If you can't take heat Fish at night and fight the bugs)

Fished Fairfield for the first time Friday night with a couple of friends. It was aloy of fun. I want to go back with my boat but am a little concerned about launching by myself down such a steep bank - any suggestions to make this task easier for a newbie ?

I launch my 22foot boat every time by my self.On FF stay in the middle of the ramp take your time and watch the finders on your tralor so that it is going in level. If not move over one way or the other. There is a big V in the middle.
