Thanks everyone for the input. I first fished walleye near Erie, PA with my grandfather back in the 60s. Called them Yellow Pike. Fished with a steel rod and a crawler harness and you held your one rod all the time. I understand the argument that says that is real fishing. I still enjoy drifting and casting for walleye to this day.

That said I want to learn to use the boards as well now that I have a little more time to fish. I did make it out again yesterday (Sunday) and agree that like most everything you get better by doing. Did begin to get better at reading the boards. Used one board on each side and one line straight back off each corner of the boat. Caught 3 off the boards and three off the corners.

Cannot think of anywhere I would rather be than out on the lake. Hoping to retire in a year or two and maybe be able to get out more than a couple times a month!

Again, thanks for all the tips.
