| OK, Mr, big boards! You got two line (not 20) to run. What would you do? Color, depth, speed, dipsey, diver, downrigger, meat or metal? What would you do? (I usually end up calling you to get the program!) |

| Freebie, I know this was towards DE but if I had just 2 rods to put out it would be 40 jets on double orange crush or mixed veggies crawler harness at 1.6 - 1.8. Hey DE, I thought I was the only one who ran meatballs. |

| I would bight my tongue and put out two baby boards to get my line away from the boat( min. I think 50' and maybe up to 75 or 100'). You could run them both out the same side so they are easier to watch. Then I would run like Hawg Hunter said 40 jets. Looks like with the high fish being caught I would use maybe a 10 or 20 jet set to only go down around 10'. I also think you can run 50 jets on those baby boards. Run crawler harnesses , spoons or cranks. I think your problem is your lines are too close to the boat and the fish are getting spooked. Also remember my set backs are what is working for me and might not be the exact set back for you. You may need to shorten up a little or maybe even let out a little more. When you hear Sara-J say she is running jets back 100' that pull line might be an other 10' out of the water hooked to his big boards. So you might need to be back say 110 to match his 100'. But I do think your biggest problem is running lines to close to the boat. I think this is why Dipseys haven't worked as well this year. Just my thought. I have two sets of baby boards with all of the bells and whistles that you are more than welcome to try, prove me wrong. |

I run 2-4 in line boards all the time.Out side board is around 100'-150' out and the inside board is 75'-100'out.
I have found that a #40 is the biggest you can use,a #50 will sink it and a 4oz weight is the max also or you will sink the board at slow or stopped speed.
When fishing by my self I will also use Jets on my boards because they don't sink,so with running only 2 rods I can just slow way down or stop to reel/net a fish and don't have to worry about touching bottom with the other rod. |

| I keep telling you Rod, you should hook my little boat up as a really big board for you to use. I can get the lines out further than those little sissy boards you are now using! I would keep those other guys from cutting your lines (maybe). Plus, it would save me alot of gas... |

| Having a rough go with those inlines eh DE. LOL. Each and every one of these techniques has there place. Jets are great if you run big boards but just not as easy to run off the little boards. Nice to see this site up and running again. I thought I'd start visiting here occassionally if I'm still welcome. Heard some things thru the grapevine that I had to come check out for myself. Pretty cool to see this up and running again. |
Go Bucks!!! |
