Re: And they walk among us...
The planer board style fishing is quite popular here in Michigan, but always behind a boat, you need to troll in order to keep the baits out there. I have considered trying this in the river mouths (pier heads) for both walleye and steelhead. keeping your bait in the area that you believe to be holding fish. I'm sure it will work well, but other fishermen would not enjoy this, it would intrude into others areas. I would need to pick my moments when no one else would be bothered. But with the current, I'm quite confident it would work well. And I wouldn't need to drive a car doing it.
The guy is creative, and willing to use his car doing it, which I wouldn't, but I give him credit for making the effort and then sharing it with us.
