Yesterday morning i was pulling 2oz bottom bouncers and crawler harnesses behind the standard size offshore boards. I caught 9 walleyes and the majority of these came on the planer board rods.
My boards have tattle flags and all but 1 of these fish didnt pull the flag down at all. I only noticed the fish when reeling in and checking lines for weeds.
The spring is in the lowest tension setting (highest point on the board and lowest point on the flag), the screw on the flags arent binding the flags, and i had slack line between the clips.
These were 17-19″ fish so not dinks. I dont use boards a lot but is it common to catch fish without the flags moving with bottom bouncers?
