  1. The main thing with running 4 or more boards to the side is gradual turns. The larger the spread,the more room you need to run them. Stay way away from the packs. Like Jim said, it's best to go with someone who knows what they're doing. The boards are a great tool. I run Offshore brand for walleye and salmon.

  2. I am not a walleye guy, but have a few questions of my own.

    On Saginaw Bay are mostly fishing open water or are you relating to some sort of structure?

    The short answer to this is Yes.:) See longer answer below.:)

    A lot of our trolling is in open water with little if any noticeable structure. Sometimes we are fishing weed lines, rocky shorelines, shipping channel, and some real impressive humps. The game does change.

  3. Adam did a splendid job, with that short story about our home waters.:) If you only have a couple of boards, I'd pick up a couple of more. I like the Offshore brand, with the tattle flags. Walleye are know to hit lightly a lot of the time. The only thing I do slightly different is I run bouncers off my boards, almost exclusively, instead of inline weights. I may not necessarily run the bouncers on the bottom.

    Muskegon Lake is also a good for some walleye whacking.

    My typical set up is 2 oz bottom bouncers off the boards, and three oz bouncers over the side. I run home tied harnesses behind the bouncers. Even my bouncers are home made, consisting of egg sinkers and SS wire.

    The walleye don't usually seem overly fussy. Don't complicate things.

    Your learning curve will be shortened, if you can hook on with someone for a trip or two.
