I've got the same TX-44 board, but I have an OR16 clip attached to the end. I played around with having the pull of the copper line and bait pull from the clip (so pull the board backward) or pull from the arm. It seemed to plane better when it was pulling from the arm. This was controlled simply by how I clipped the OR16 onto the line. Do your boards get pulled under water when they release? That's really my biggest complaint with them. We had one board that was underwater for over 5 minutes. You notice a huge difference once you get the board above water. It just seems like it would work a lot better if the board was able to free-slide to the surface, but yet not go down far enough to hit the bait. I've had boards pulled under with the regular Church board clips too, but they didn't seem to stay under as long. My theory is it's easier for the fish the pull the board under water once it has released. Maybe I just need to put more time into it and get a better sample size.

Does anyone use a Sam's Pro Release on their planner boards and actually like them? I love the concept, but find the actual execution lacking. I find the fish more easily pull the board under water, so you are still fighting the board. Just wondering if anyone is using them in a way they really like.

Entering Lake MI, we counted 35 boats trolling inside of 50 fow directly in front of the channel. Looked like a slow moving dance floor. Decided not to dance and motored north 2 or 3 miles miles. Set up in 48 fow and headed NW. Took first hit in 85 fow. Spent most of the morning working 85 - 110 fow. Here's what worked: 100 Cu. 85 fow steelhead UV orange moonshine 200 Cu. 85 fow king. NBK 105 fow miss NBK 127 fow miss NBK 250 Cu. 105 fow miss Blue Founder Pounder 300 Cu. 95 for king. Green Flounder Pounder High slide diver, 3 setting, out 150 NBK, king in 105 fow High slide diver, 3 setting, out 160 blue flounder pounder, laker in 127 fow Rigger 95 fow, SWR with a NBK spoon, ball @ 40, bait @ 50. king Speed at the ball was 2.5 - 3. All trolling directions took hits. Much of the time we were 5 - 6 miles north of Grand Haven. After NBK produced early, I put more out and they delivered. Ran a blue spin doc and fly, no hits. Kevin's girlfriend meat rig, no hits. Big white paddle and fly on a rigger, no hits. Mixed veggie, no hits. Sent from my LG-Q710AL using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

I would think by now the meat bite would kick in. We'll be over there in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the report.

We motored Southwest out to 210 ft of water and spun around set lines and trolled back in. We didn't mark a fish until 130 ft of water. We didn't have a hit until 84 feet of water. It was a 8 pound King on a green flounder pounder. The bait was presented about 35 ft down. I heard someone else on the radio who got a king in 60 feet of water. That was the only hit we got tonight. We went into 60 and back out to 90 before pulling lines. Sent from my LG-Q710AL using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Left the pier head at 6 am. It was a wet ride out to 60 fow. The bow would splash into a wave and the strong N wind would blow it into the boat. Started 0 - 2 with hits coming in 92 and 107 fow on our NW troll. Had our first king in 113 fow. We fished 100 - 125 fow in the early am, but eventually started working 125 - 150 from noon until weather pushed us off the lake at 4. Later in the day, 135 - 145 was the best water. Took 6 kings and 5 lakers, even though we didn't target lakers. Missed some nice kings. Big fish was 24 pounds. 100 Cu took 3, 200 Cu and 250 Cu also took fish. (All my Cu lines also include 1 color of On.) Riggers, high and wire divers also took fish. Basically worked from the 100 Cu down to 80' down and took fish everywhere in between there. Speed was 2.5 - 2.7 @ the ball. NBK blue flounder pounder and green flounder pounder had the most hits. Moonshine UV orange took a nice king. Kevin's GF Sprin doctor and meat took 2. Blue spring doctor and fly took 2. Most hits were on spoons and the favorite colors contained green. Sent from my LG-Q710AL using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
