Not to answer for TK, but almost every striper I caught with planers were off a tree, pile of submerged rocks, or point.
I would plan my pass beforehand. I would put my bait in the water and get my boards running 10-15' out from any structure that I would encounter. The planers would allow you to stay off the bank and away from the fish so you wouldn't spook them while making the pass. I would watch the bank and keep the bait close to the bank and structure but not in it. Once your bait starts getting nervous you know a predator is close by so I would slow down a little. Sometimes you would see a wake from the predator coming in for the kill.
