i have run the inline boards last 4 yrs.... both in my 16 ft and 26 ft boats... alot of times i am fishing alone or with my daughter and was told 3 yrs ago that the inlines catch just as many fish without the expense of the mast and big boards.... i use both the church walleye boards and the off-shore boards.... i prefer the off-shore,, they seem to track better even in rougher water... once you get used to setting them you will not have to fight the board and the fish as the front release will pop and allow the board to fall back to the fish so your not fighting that also ( i've only had 1 fish bumped off in 4 yrs due to the boards)
i have caught walleye/browns/lakers/salmon/northerns...all this spring alone and all on inlines
