planer board question?

[fishhard23]

Say you're fishing a simple 6 rod spread, 2 riggers, 2 wires, 2 inline boards. (first time using boards this year)... if you get a fish on the board, how do you keep it from getting tangled in the wire, and once you get it in, how do you re-deploy the board as to not get tangled with the wire. Thanks in advance.

what ru running on the in line boards?

When the board is hit, you have to let the board travel toward behind the boat until you have cleared the wire, before bringing the fish in (keep tension on the board) . Did this yesterday with a 300 copper on the board. To redeploy the board, from center of stearn you let out the lure lead-attach the board-let out enough lead to the board to get back into outside position (say 100 ft.) and engage the reel to make the board start to pull. Put the rod into rod holder and wait until the board travels back to outside position. Catch the next one.

Thank you, that helps

Don't have many events where a fish takes an outside inline board down to tangle with a dipsy. More frequent is when a dipsy fish rises up and out, into the board rig. Run your inlines out farther. More frequent tangles come from running 2 or 3 lines off big boards because your inside lines will be closer to the dipsy and not as far back.

 

If your fishing your dipsies shallow, say 50 feet down, your board will likely be to far out for a fish to tangle your board line into the dipsy. More risk when your dipsies are stretched out to 350+ feet. In this case, switch to mag dipsies and shorten the set back for the same depth.
