planer boards questions and techniques
Hello All,
I have a few questions I'm hoping some of you can help me with. I've been fishing lake erie for years and have had oaky success with dipsys, but looking to use my planer boards more, but, I seem to have a lot of difficulty with them.
I have a Big Jon mast on the bow of my 21ft Thompson with a ski that runs on each side.
How much line do I let out on the boards. Is there a rule of thumb?
In choppy water they seem to get a lot of slack and then tighten up in waves causing the lines to jerk. Is this normal?
How do I clip the mini or small dipsys and jets to the planer line. I've bought three different types of clips, adjusting the spring tensioner, but can't seem to adjust it right, the lines keeping coming off the clips with the tension of the divers. Is there a secret or technique to this?
Thanks for any advice you can provide.
