Planer boards and outriggers

[albinotrout]

You have asked for info on many different methods of fishing and what you have asked for is difficult to relay via message boards. Well for me at least Utu is easier to show. To start off light tackle works well for vertical jigging and chucking lures. For trolling you will need heavier gear. Anywhere from medium to medium heavy to heavy. Down riggers aren't a must unless you really want to go deep. Some use lead core line and that works very well. I use heavy flourocarbon. I take a size 1 egg sinker slide it on the line. Then tie on a #7 swivel then add a piece of leader. This will get you down to the fish. I have used this method on a few lakes with success. Planet boards help keep the lines apart and not tangle. Also they help cover more water and can help catch the fish that don't like the sound of the boat motor.

Feel free to stop by and I can show you different rigs and methods for fishing from different boats and craft.
