I just wanna be clear though in I am not anti-planer boards at all.
Was that your boat in the pic SalmonDaze? If so where were you at the water looks amazing?

No, not me/boat; just a random google pic. I have a love/hate relationship with planer boards . . . I hate them (I hate anything between me, the line, the hook, and the fish), but I love catching fish; so I admit to owning and using them.
Having fished for salmon/trout/walleyes for 40 years on the Great Lakes, I can't believe the number of times I've seen (and been close to involved with) shots fired (over the bow) of recreational fishermen trolling "their line" in the largest patch of fresh water in North America.
Since in TN for the past several years; I've been fortunate enough to have seen this behavior 0.00 times. Most times, guys give each other enough room to drive a river barge between.
Not sure I'll even attempt a GSP canal voyage unless gale winds blowing with 2" of snow so as to have minimal likelihood of dodge-em-boats.
