Trolling Crankbaits Behind Off Shore Tackle Planer Boards on Lake Of The Ozarks #5 (10-15-16) 

Great video, try reversing your rod placement in the rod holders to board.farthest away from boat goes towards bow in rod rack that way you do not need to go under every other rod in holder.

I'll be on lake of the Ozarks Jun 21st through 25th. What's the odds of getting a fishing trip from the lake of the Ozarks pro?

How do your flat lines not get tangled up when reeling in your planer board lines

You taught me well. Lesson learned. Thanks!

Planer board s do seem like to much work I still would like to see a crappie professional request a smaller bait casting reel with line counter

Thanks so much for the great videos love it I bought me a few Planer boards can't wait to Try them keep up the great work love the videos awesome job

Thanks for the good info, i Trolled a lot on Chesapeak bay but I'm fishless since I moved to Missouri, You and your other videos have been most helpful. Truman Toothhunter

Alot of confusion going on Why pickup 1 pole set it down grab the next pole and pull it under the one u just sat down.. lol

Great video. I have both models. They're great for boat shy trout in clear water.

We have days like this. Come back to catch another day. Nothing in the world as calming as fishing.

Thank you, that was helpful. Now I'm just waiting for the Spring to come, so I can get right out there and put the info to good use.

Great close up video on the planer boards. Most videos do not show you close up. They just say it’s super easy and do it really fast with a far shot so you can’t really see and it gets really intimidating.

Great idea for a really rural area. I would get murdered where I live by other fishermen/boaters if I tried having something 20 feet off each side of my boat. If I COULD do it, that is a genius way to troll.

Another great video! If I remember correctly Tommy is an Iowa boy from the Dubuque area? I think he used to fish the W.A.T. walleye trail. You're a ways south of us, but in the last 2-3 weeks we have been hammering nice crappie around the wave-breaker docks in 19-22 ft, water temp around 67, on live minnows and just a gold aberdeeen hook. That bite might happen in your area soon !

Enjoyed your video. Thanks for posting.

Nice video. Awesome job handling 4 boards by yourself. Speaking from experience, I know what a challenge it can be some days just handling 2 boards by myself.

Great video, really appreciate the information I am going to give this a try this year. Again thanks mush..

Pleased to meet you. Mr. Mike. I've been a uncle Steve Watcher for years. I turn around and check your video out enjoyed watching. I had to subscribe.😊 I would like to know one question though. What type of line counter you using I really was impressed with that.

You are a good instructor! Keep up the crappie tutorials. Thx for what you do!

Great video. Finally one that took the time and explained how to run them! Outside board inside rod. I was doing it backwards! Was running a different type of board also. Finally invested in the offshore boards and flags. Looking forward to getting out!

Really like your vids, hope you plan to do more. thanks

Cut to the chase people dont want a long story like most of your videos

Great advice and tips!!

what are those flags called

Another great video. I noticed you were on a new boat. I like your old technique (without planner board) better and I think it is simpler and more effective.

Another great video.. Very informative.

too bad I'm only allowed 2 rods per man

Why aren't you using the "tattle" flags. Seems like you might miss some light bites.

Whats the Side Rods wit counters? Whats the rear rods with baitcaster rod? What line?

How many rods can you have out per person?? I have used Offshore boards for at least 25-30 years and will continue for as long as I fish, lots of fun at times. We are allowed 2 rods per person so I fish 1 board and 1 leadcore rods. Great video and keep up the good fishing!! Oh and I use the oKuma reels, and they are ok, a little cheaper than the Diawas.

really enjoy your video"s. I've learned a lot. Thanks!

Can I use planner boards on the sea 🤔 and what size M or L. Thank you and very nice video

Mike, could you comment on what size line you're running? I see high visibility line

How long are those rods? What kind of rods are they? What action are the rods?

Mike, my wife and I have been running the offshore mini boards for a couple years with great success. I think you may be creating more work for your self with your board placement. We run our deepest running bandits on the outside board with the rod in the furthest forward rod holder. Your inside board should have the shallower running bandit with the rod in the further aft (rear) rod holder. That eliminates the crossing under of rods. Advanced boat handling with fish on the outside board, turn your boat the opposite direction of the outside board that has the fish. example, fish is caught on the right outside board do a slight left turn, this will bring the outside board straight behind the inside board then start reeling. have your rod tip to the opposite side of the boat from the fish this will clear the inside board then straighten out your boat and land the fish. Always keep your deepest lure on the out side. I would check with Tommy again since he is a big walleye guy I'm sure he will tell you the same thing Buckeye Mike

Really enjoyed the video. Thank you for the information. your chair caught my eye. What is the chair extension called or where can I purchase one. Always watch setup of equipment on boat and have learned a lot. Thank you again.

Do you ever get those treble hooks stuck in your hand? I have...

Very nice setup for trolling. What kind of rod holders/trolling racks are you using? Another great video

I can't thank you enough Mike for your videos and teaching. I really appreciate the insight. This particular video is an insight into reality in that sometimes "the fish just don't bite". I'm interested in your trolling motor setup. Can you let me know what type of trolling motor you have and how easy it is to control such that you can manage your speed, direction without having to focus on that constantly rather than the actual fishing part. Thanks. Tom

You cannot have 6 rods fishing by yourself in Missouri. You are breaking the law.

what pivital chair is that? looks strong, I'm a bigger guy and want to find something strong

Hey Mike, great video! Where did you get that rear rod holder rack on the very back? I need something like that for my boat.

Sometimes a hooked fish will swim with the board unloading it and making it move forward.

Mike, what is your trolling speed with the Bandits? I might have missed it.

michael pinterics

Mike what lb test line do you use on those Diawa reels

i learned a lot...anybody mentions plainer board to me, i run...any fishing when the fish bites and my rod don't bend, ain't for me...
