Running Planner Boards on a crowded river

Post by ThreeBuoys »

Opening Weekend for Walleye, specifically Lamoille River. Very crowded as expected....
Boats running multiple planner boards and not in a straight line either! If you are on this board and you are one of the guilty fisherman.....think twice after it!

If they don't haul them in a little when a boat approaches, that is just being greedy.

Yeah, I saw that as well. Things that make you go .... HMMM. Did you have any luck, 3buoys? I caught 2, one short 17" or so and one 21" male that made it home for supper. Missed a few others.

Nice! Keep after 'em. I'll probably hit the river again Wednesday evening after work. I saw plenty of stringers over the sides of boats, so there were fish being caught on Saturday.

Ignorant driving as well. Not sure why it is so hard to share the water and take turns with a "preferred" line. I left the water early already by simply being fed up with greedy impatient boats.

Never mind the river, I see guys that run them out 150 feet on the Lake, knowing full well you have to go into 20 foot of water to avoid them. No more . If I capture a nice board, it is mine
