Planer Boards?

[Mike Worley]

I think the mast system would be better on larger water with a large boat and a bunch of rods. I have seen it done on Bull Shoals a couple of thimes but not often. It really takes up a lot of water and with the summer time boat traffic I think you will be happier with the regular boards IMHO.

This is true. Haven't heard of ya' fishing lately Mike.....I'll be down next week with an amateur trying to show him the walleye ropes....Has there been much going on?

I have been out every 2-3 days for the last couple of weeks. Mostly in the afternoon - evening time. The walleye are still biting well but the larger fish are tough to pinpoint. Some days they seem to be in the 25'-35'range and some days much shallower. I've been able to scape out a limit on most days but it is mostly 18"-20"er's. On the plus side the walleyes are biting just about anyway you want to fish for them. There still seems to be plenty of fish in the creeks & larger coves as well as on the main channel the best plan still seems to be to use your graph to "mark'em then get something down there with'em" they will bite. Bottom bouncer & crawler rigs, trolling' crank baits, jigging spoons are all working well.

I've been itchin' to get out the big reef runners and it feels like the week to do it. I'll be down and fishing Tuesday afternoon, wednesday, and Thursday, silver ranger 620vs with cherry and marroon aceents..Dual windshield...I will prolly be around Lead hill mostly so stop and visit if you are out and about.

Funny you say that PD, the new guy got a 48 incher on a crawler harness. I thought he was going to poop on himself when he got it in. He,he, all I could think of was you.
