    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.

    Default board lines

    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.

    I was out sat night. Those couple guys pulling inline boards with glowsticks on them were making more work for themselves. Way to many boats and first timers out there sat. They barely had the boards 15ft off the boat. Rods out the side would have been just as effective.
