I'm with you slimshady,we pop that front release and take the board off with the original lead from fish.Don't need a board bouncing around 6ft in front of a fish I'm trying to net.

It gives the fish more leverage to pull the hooks out too, as it is swinging around. You end up removing it to re-set it anyway, so I would rather just take it off before I net the fish. I also like that I can have the net in one hand and remove the board with the other if I need to (short leads).

We trolled on Saturday for a while, but the strong S winds made Erie too rough for one of my passengers. He was green pretty fast, so we pulled lines and went to the river to try jigging. We ended up catching 9 before the storm ran us off.
