Planer Fishing Video Tips
This planer fishing video offers some advanced tips on boat driving once you've found a school of fish:
- Approaching the School: How should you approach a school of fish? If you're trolling with the current at a specific speed and get a bite, what's the first step?
- Firstly, never take the boat out of gear.
- Secondly, while reeling in the fish, initiate a slow turn back to the bite location to target the school of fish.
- Direction of Turn: Always consider the long planer. Ensure it remains on the outside of your turn. If you're getting multiple bites, turn away from the long planer and into the current.
