night bite?

[wishin fishin]

my first rpt. here on this site - i was out on sat. night from 9 pm - 3 pm, lots of boats (needed a traffic light), i was able to land 2. question is it polite to pull board within a pack of boats? - seems crazy to me and looks like more work than its worth (my 2-cents).

Just my 2 cents but boards are a pain in a pack of boats & at night it would seem a real big pain I would think hard to see . jmo.

I am hoping to run boards even if only 25ft off sides with glow sticks on them i wouldnt want to try long lining them that could cause a mess.

Board lines are not required when fishing at nite. It is a pain for the person running the boards and for the boats that are working the same water . they are hard to see. I dont care what you do to them to make them easier to see.

IMO boards are fine to use, when used with a little common sense.

Super heavy boat traffic in-tight, then leave them in the boat. Sparse to moderate traffic, go ahead use them a reasonable distance from the boat and with adequate lighting.

In general, when using boards be more defensive to avoid potential run-ins, and if possible stay just outside the pack edge (has a added benefit ).

A bigger problem than pulling boards at night is when everyone is trolling in different directions vs. an orderly set of trolling lines.

Just got word from a reliable source fishing is good at night down out of dunkirk to the west in front of lake erie state park. 7 fow. Good numbers if any of you want to make the run.
