I would think twice about planer boards because it only takes one boat to not see the board and run inside and all hell will happen. When I lived in Maryland the boats ran the boards out 150 feet on each side of the boat and on opening day you could hear them yelling at someone for running in to their lines. If you wanted to use downriggers without the cost we made a poor mans downrigger called a dummy line because any dummy could use them. The only thing is it's no fishing rod just hand over hand to bring in the fish.................woody
