Planer boards should help your catch rate. They take the lure away from the path of your boat. the fish aren't as spooked this way. Also run a long line [150-200'], experiment with this till you find what works best.
Lure selection plays an important roll here. Using a selection of deep diving baits usually works best but some shallow ones aren't bad either.
Good luck this weekend!...Larry

I'm convinced that a set of "snap on weights" (weights ranging from 1 oz to 4 oz) are almost as valuable as planer boards. Certainly the two in tandem is optimum.
Finding the depth where they're hitting with the help of your electronics and then being able to consistently stay at that depth is key.

simply buying a set or two of planer boards will not increase your catch automatically to 10 - 15 fish....

generally only experience and time on the water will do that....(or a guided trip).

the walleye out there are constantly changing.....

having an OPEN MIND will put fish in your boat before simply buying boards will.....that or buying skevy's secret lure. :roll:

Every trip seems to be different. On some days planner board help. I have also caught fish flatlining. Lure type and depth seem to be more important.
On the weekend we were 65ft back of the boards. Talk to other guys on the water. Usually they will share info.
Good Luck.
