Funny story. I'm kinda a fair weather fisherman since I can usually fish anytime I want to. This past Saturday the East Tn Crappie Club had our tournament on Tellico. They were calling for 100%rain wind up to 20 mph. I can deal with rain but not the wind. Told my buddy where I had been catching them. His partner had never fished Planer Boards. Sometime after they had caught 40 or so he looked back at his partner who was playing on his phone he asked what the hell he was doing he said ordering rod holders lol They won the tournament and came in 2nd on big fish he said they probably caught 70
Planer Boards. 2

I occasionally use them striper trolling late summer to get more than 2 lines in the water. My fishing buddies say im crazy but it increases my chances. Imagine a 30lb or 40lb rock fish on 100yards of lead line and a planer board 50ft out.

Small world! His partner is one of my best friends. Just got off the phone with his partner and he was telling me how they caught them. He's definitely hooked now!

Just curious, what lake do you fish that you troll 50' deep with lead line ?

I don't... He said planer board 50 feet out from the boat.... And, I never use lead line... But I use planer boards frequently.... Sorry for the confusion...
