Sorry I don't have anything to add to your original question, just venting my frustrations!
thats pretty much what i was saying in a previous post, if youre not directly on the X you might miss them completely, but wow if you hit the X its a full cooler quick. it really pays off to spend some time graphing and systematically eliminating bad water. i like to think i can cover a lot more water in a lot less time with the graph than i can with planner boards at 0.6 mph, and i know that i stand a really good chance of completely missing the school with the boards also. i have nothing to lose if the fish arent there it doesnt matter how many boards i have in the water.
