Oh man, the article I was referring to was an In-Fisherman article from a few months ago that did mention a few guys winning a tourney using boards (as previously noted), but was in no way as in-depth as the article in the current issue. I'm looking at the list of tackle & the spreads on pg 52/53 and see what I was doing differently, ie single board pulling crawler harness. On page #20 there are a couple crappie trolling rigs. If you guys are familiar with handlining, the one on the left looks like a lightweight handline rig, . More food for thought.

One thing that keeps crossing my mind is that we use boards to cover large areas for walleye populations that are generally on the move. If Crappie tend to suspend in one area & don't move around much, you basically have to find them & run over them with these board methods, eh? I'm also wondering how much of the North vs South techniques as Rich & Don discussed will come in to play, ie it might work down south, but not as well in the Great Lakes.

It does kinda' make me think more across the board in maybe applying some techniques to species I've never thought of before, that's for sure.
