I run 2 Church Walleye boards in tandem on each side. The far board is out 100 feet. The inside board is out about 75-80 feet so they line up with the boat. As long as you run a straight course, even a white bass will pull the board back far enough that you can tell something isn't right so you can check that board for company. Yesterday a board dropped back about 4-5 feet and it turned out to be a 22 inch walleye.(table grade) You really have to pay attention. Hopefully I'll be out again tomorrow AM.
