Are planer boards supposed to float or sink? Mine sink with the weights they come with. I removed the weights so the boards would float if they came off the line. Good thing I did. The first fish on was a tail slapping blue cat. That board came unhinged and I went back to retrieve it
You should not be having this issue. The idea is that the boards float along the surface. I bought the Off Shore brand mini planer boards. They do well except when the waves get up.
I thought you used a dock shooting rod with the scope mounted just above the handle.
Trying to broaden my horizons. I shot docks Saturday that brought a nice 14 plus inch crappie. Yesterday after pulling the boards I was waiting to load the boat and pulled a 10" Rock bass out from under a toon. I believe I am being told to stick with the docks:biggrinQuote:

Shooting docks is still my fav but if jigging bridge pilings and open water works best sometimes well there ya go. I think Dock Shooting Jack really like the feel of the thump like a lot of us do. Guess that's why I am a one rod guy. My addiction grows stronger each week. Thanks to all the enablers here that help feed it! :fish
I am addicted to the thump. I have enjoyed my time jigging pilings on Guntersville. No replacement for feeling the fish hit the jig. That jolt of lightning transmitted up the rod
