At the mouth of the river at Sebago in the Spring, it's East to West unless you want a beating from the rest!
I run the yellow bird in line planers and use them through Memorial Day weekend while the fish are still on top I run spoons to smelts off them they work great for me
Do the boards release and slide on the line alot? Or are you always reeling in with the board fighting you can unclip it?
Both. You can make them release and slide, but I find they just go down to the fish and lure and I don’t like that. I set them so they stay where they are which for the most part is suspended in the air while fighting a fish, the quickly take them off, which is about just before the fish sees the boat and takes a good run before you jet them. I was skeptical of the whole deal, but really like them and have got some good early season salmon using this method.
