7/22 Big Board Weed Problems
Trolled 7/22 and 7/23 with big planer boards and had major problems with the floating algae. Algae was bad enough to almost sink one of the planers. It would foul up snap weights and lures almost as soon as we had all lines out. Is there a solution to this problem or do we just switch to jigging. Any advice is always appreciated. Thanks

Re: 7/22 Big Board Weed Problems
Have never heard of algae sinking large boards.But I have heard of guys trolling having problems with grass or weeds floating.The grass with hit the line off those big boards and run down to the tru trip and foul them up.If its bad enough the charters will have to move to another area with less grass.The inline boards don't foul as much in that grass due to line from board is already below the water line.If running a dipsey can attach a release a few feet below water to catch the grass.Usually see more grass after a big blow or in the late summer.

Hate to see these weeds come so early .. either go east in deeper water or switch over to Perch rods
