I have an older 45-70, I use black powder with linen patches lubed with mink oil. I have had good success on larger carp out to about 10 feet, any farther out and they don't penetrate the water. I have not had any luck using it on my downriggers, the powder keeps getting wet and the cap falls off. I have mixed luck on the minnows at renegade, sometimes I can get 3 or 4 with one shot.
The real problem I have is that the float tubers get really ticked when I get too close to them in the spring or fall when the big cutthroats are shallow enough to shoot.
