Why planer boards in fall? Fish are in schools, working bait, you find a school and run tight circles. can't do that w/ planer boards. I was turning 50' diameter circles on a school last weekend. Imagine trying to do that w/ 50' of planer line out on each side.....while jockying around other boats...or in the river.
Spring time fish are spread out and you need to sweep as much water as possible. Fall time fish are concentrated in schools and you need to be able to keep tight to the school.
Boards for spring/summer, in-line planers for summer/fall. 20-rod spreads for spring, 4-6 rod spread for summer/fall.
Now, I'm sure on the great lakes they run planer boards all year, but people around this here parts make fun of people running planer boards now.....
