For the Long Line trollers using planner boards.

[Old Ironmaker]

I need to take a pic of what we did on buddy's 23' Cuddy last year. We use planner boards on Lakes Ontario and Erie to get the bait away from the boat and wake to the side while trolling for Salmonids and Walleye, even Musky. A planner board is usually set out from a mounted centre mast. It is tough to mount a mast on a glass boat that has a covered bow, almost impossible to get to actually. We took 2 drive motors from a set of Downriggers to power the spools. We set the spools on the side pillars just ahead of the windshield and using a few strategically mounted sheaves can set out the boards and retrieve them with ease. I can't get my phone to upload pics on this PC. I will try my wife's phone and show you. If we were younger I might market them. They most likely exist but I have never seen one. Has anyone here seen that set up?
