  1. FLX,

    I run 3 colors, 5 color and ten color core exclusively with an in-line planer. The only limitation is if the waves are >2 feet b/c the rod really takes a beating.

    I NEVER rig the board to slide down the core b/c I'm always concerned it'll slam the fish in the nose and knock it off. Here's how I rig it:

    1.) Let out all the core until the knot is at the water line

    2.) Attach my Church Walleye board to the braid backing (I set the keel weight as far forward to the boat as possible)

    3.) Then I half hitch the braided line with a rubber band and I coil the loop around the release about two or three times until it's tight so the braid won't slide through the release. When it's rough, I'll use two rubber bands

    4.) Then I let out about 100-150 feet of line so it planes to the side

    5.) When a fish hits, we reel up to the board, break the rubber band(s), remove the planer board and reel hard to keep tension on the fish

    I learned this technique from a Charter Capt. in Ludington, MI about 10 years ago and it works great.

    Good luck,

    - Chris How do you know you have a fish on? With no release??

    Thanks, Ken

  2. Hello, When in you don't know, ask a pro! I have a boat and two little boys 6 & 7 years old. We are looking for a good place to perch & bass fish. Braddock's bay is our launching location. I like catching bass but the perch will keep the boy's attention. I have never caught a walleye that wold be fun. I have heard the are a great eating fish? Any advice on location and technique would be greatly appreciated. :)

    Thank You,

    Ken
