Yds? is that a guess or are you using line counters? The reason I ask is because we let out 150 to 200 ft when long lining behind the boat. If you are letting out that many yds that would be 180ft to 240 ft. I'm sure that will work but depending on the lure, it might be going too deep. Some days no matter what you use you will catch fish other days you have to be very precise to catch fish there. The lipless cranks we use only go down to 7ft and we let out that much line just to get them away from the boat more but that's also the reason the side planner work so well. You don't have to let out as much line when using side planners, at least this time of the year when the fish are shallow because there is no boat in front of them. When those fish are shallow, like they are now, feeding on shad, the boat will make them move off to the side, as it goes by. Every day is different, so you just never know but usually when fish are in this type of pattern, that's what works for us.
