[@jimdrechsel3611]

Always rewarding when someone on your boat has their first catch. Do the fish you retry hand ever get tangled in the line you place in the water? Get tangled in the line you troll on the other side? Can you do a video on salt water care of the boat/motor and tackle at the end of the day? Salt really destroys gear. Thank you for the videos!

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks Millie for watching and leaving some stellar feedback . I truly and sincerely appreciate it your support for the channel. Yes sometimes the fish does get tangled in its own leader or the other line but if you keep a level head and take your time things work out and it's not too much of a mess. But honestly that's a rare occasion. That's one of the reasons you keep your boat in slow forward is to try and avoid that sort of situation. Hope this helps. Thanks again for a good idea about care and maintenance of your boat gear and motor and how to keep them in good shape when going against a corrosive element like salt water. I'll definitely put that on my to-do list. Tight lines & take care ;)

[@alexseneviratne9868]

Hello your video is super easy to uderstand. i am manly a saltwater angler. Please explaon the diving planer board. I got no 7 n 8. But never caught anything woth it. Whats the distance you keep from board to the lure etc etx. Thanks hepas for helping novices like us.

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. The distance between the lure and the planer should be at least 100 feet. Here's a link to my planer trolling seminar, has tons of useful info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5jMZYyInp6jj9k Good luck in your fishing journeys. Tight lines & take care ;)

[@michaelh7527]

Just a tip I have learned from over the years. Looks like you are moving a bit fast for trolling. I noticed that I get far more strikes when I am just in gear and no faster. When I am around gas rigs, I watch others. The ones who are trolling at faster speeds aren't hooking up nearly as much. Just give it a shot for a couple of hours. I think you will be surprised.

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion. I really appreciate it. always good to get a fresh perspective. Tight lines & take care :)

[@miketexas4549]

If you run a planer that dives straight off your mainline, does that eventually wear out your drag strength in your reel? Thanks Captain!

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. So, the drag is determined by the pressure put against an interior drag plate (washer) made out of teflon. This part is made to wear down over time and will need to be replaced. Putting constant pressure on it, however, just to tighten the drag for applications such as planer trolling doesn't create wear on the part. What creates wear, is heat created by the plate spinning in reverse when a fish makes a run and pulls out line. The constant occurrence of the plate heating and cooling is what will wear down it's ability to create a tight seal against the spool, which is what is known as drag. So, in short, no, tightening your drag doesn't wear it out, catching big fish is what wears it out. My Internationals are classics from the 1980's and I've never replaced the drag plate, which is a great showcase of how reliable Penn parts are. Hope this helps. Thanks again for your support of the channel. I truly appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)

[@adammcgeorge3538]

You ever run two planers? If so what numbers and how far back on each?

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Yes. #6 out 150 feet... #3 out 250 feet... smaller planer always go out further....

[@nareeeely]

See all that twist in your leader is because of how long it is from the planer to the lure .. dont over do it 15-20 ft is enough it also gives your lure a move vibrant action

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks a million for watching and sharing. I really appreciate it. Always great to hear different perspectives and try new things. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)

[@pepepepito623]

Is there a reason why don't you use the yo-yo to reel in the line once the planner is in the boat?a 100 ft of loose monoph. trailing behind the boat...or inside the cockpit...

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

You don't want to use the yoyo to wind in the line. If the fish runs you'll lose it. Always let the excess line mKe a giant loop trailing behind the boat as you are handlining it in.

[@jayfishandshoot7147]

Great Video!

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Thanks. Happy new year :)

[@richardslingwine3197]
