How To Troll With Planers: The Three Methods Fully Explained! CATCH MORE FISH!!! Offshore Fishing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- Planer fishing is one of the best methods for filling the coolers full of fish on your boat. There's a reason commercial fisherman and fishing charter captains consistently use planers as a way to get their clients on fish. These are the three methods explained the best I could explain them. Planer fishing is often associated with catching King Mackerel and Wahoo. While this is very true and a very effective way to catch these fish you will bycatch everything in the sea trolling with planers. I have personally caught mahi mahi, blackfin tuna, cobia and even grouper trolling with planers.
First method: In line planer attached to main line with hand lining required
Second method: In line planer with quick release system to remove planer and continue fighting the fish with the rod and reel
Third method: Poor Mans Downrigger. Planer runs off a boat cleat and you fish a separate rod and reel secured to the planer line with a snap swivel and a rubber band
I know from experience that you will catch more fish and add a very productive backup fishing plan to your arsenal if you ever need to use it. I mention in the video that I never leave the house without my planers and that's the truth. PLANER FISHING WORKS!!!
Video links on how to make the poor mans down rigger and how to make the quick release system will be coming soon to this description and to my channel so please keep an eye out for it if it's not already here and I will try my best to finish these videos asap. Thank you so much and please remember to hit that subscribe button. I need your help to grow!

I’m subscribing because you said funner.. I fish Lake Erie but love watching this man. I don’t need no grammar people bothering me, this is my safe space
Haha thanks
Hi mate I have been fishing all my life I have never heard of this type of trolling before it is all new to me I know about down riggers
I must say that your video is very informative for anyone who does boat fishing especially trolling the way you explain this method of trolling and how it can be done 3 different ways using the same jig set up not only do you explain the jig set up you also explain how to deploy the jig in water without tangling it around your motor
You gave a very good informative description of your boat speed as well as reel setting for drag during this time jig deployment I am sure that is something a lot people would not be aware of and will find very informative to know
I know I have learnt something new hear myself and I hope to use this sydney harbour soon thanks for your video great work
You explain so much better than most! Enough information without repeating and getting boring, thanks!
Wow, thanks!
*Love St. Croix enjoyable.fishing recommend . Great action. Very enjoyable rod to use. I matched it with a Quantium Catalyst reel and together it works great. *
I'm determined to get my trolling game perfected over here in the Panhandle. Your videos are teaching me so much. Thanks for dropping the knowledge!
Thanks for watching! I hope it helps
I consider myself a beginner/intermediate level offshore fisherman - recently I went out with an expert buddy who was running skirted ballyhoo on planers and we crushed mahi with it. I tried to get him to explain it (he used technique #3) but I couldn't quite grasp what he meant. This video not only explains PERFECTLY what he did, but two other methods I wasn't aware of. Excellent video man, subscribed! Tight lines from Hawaii 🤙🏽
Thanks a lot. I also run planers for mahi and it works great. Most people just run surface lures and they are missing out on some nice fish
i recently went on a fishing charter and used planers for the first time, didnt quite understand it , i watched your video and you couldnt have explained it any better... thanks for the info!!
Great video, glad I came across it. Nice to see someone on a smaller boat like I fish using tackle I can afford. Very informative! Thanks!
Thank you! I appreciate the comment
Great video Scott. Your ability to teach is second to none.
Thanks a lot. I have more videos coming up
You made this look easier than snook fishing. And that says a lot. Very well done!
Thanks a lot!
Subscribed! I appreciate you taking the time to show us these techniques, Scott, thank you.
Thanks a lot!
One of the best educational videos I’ve seen on RUclips brother! Thanks for the great tips
Really good info Scott, and well put across. Been a charter skipper for 30 years, but haven’t used planers until recently, as a replacement for a downrigger. I would encourage the use of a leader wheel that allows for clipping on your lure before feeding it out by hand, as 3 times, I have seen a fish grab a lure fed out that way, before being attached, during a hot bite and it was bye bye lure. Keep up the good work and good luck with your chanel
Thanks for the tip that makes a lot of sense
Excellent, well thought out video! Thanks Scott.
The last method is the reason why I had to subscribe. Excellent thought and really great, simple, methodical approach.
Thank you I appreciate that
Scott thank you for your expertise loved the 3rd cleat method...keep up the great job!
I do like the fact that you have notes (even if they are one your cell phone) so you make sure you are giving people correct information. Good video
I actually wasn't reading notes I was looking at my phone to make sure the camera is recording me through the GoPro app
Good video on planers. I have been fishing for over 50 years and a Master Operator
Captain for 40 years, but did know about the last method that is very simple & easy way to troll a planer. I especially like the fact it can be used with spinning equipment, that is way sportier way to catch fish than conventional gear. Good luck with your channel, wish it was available when I was younger. Capt. Bill
Thanks for the great comment. I appreciate it. Method 3 is my favorite because of the spinning gear. I fish for fun above all other reasons
I'm in Queensland Australia and I fish for Spanish Mackeral ( King Mackeral to Americans ) I only use spin gear now, a Shimano Sedona 4000 reel and 6 foot Daiawa Aird rod with 30lb braid to 60lb mono leader, it's the most fun way to fish now with plenty of huge fish caught on such light gear
Simply an Awesome tutorial! Your work and effort are so worthy!!!! Many Thanks
Thank you very much.
By far the most educational video on planners I've seen.
Best regards from Peru!
Thanks for the amazing feedback! It’s very cool finding out people are watching from around the world so thanks a lot for the comment!
Very informative, I recently purchased a new boat and plan to try your techniques. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video...
Awesome! Good luck out there
awesome tutorial on planer fishing! thank you. fished method 1 and 3 in the lower Chesapeake Bay today. worked very well for mackerel.
Awesome glad it worked out
Content is KING; thanks for the maximum content!!
Thank you!
Hey Scott. Great video! I was using the planer bridal method for awhile and it works fine, but eventually switched to the 3rd method (rubber band). Two reasons: 1st, sometimes the bridal swivels would get jammed up in the smaller roller guides on my trolling rods and I would have to "shake" the rod or pull them through by hand sometimes at critical moments. 2nd, I fish alone a lot and so not having to set the rod down and take off the planer, is just easier. I haven't tried the 1st hand lining method yet...maybe next time! Thanks for making it look so easy!
Also...3rd reason, in south FL the weeds get pretty thick in the summer. It's not a problem for the planer, but it pulls even harder on the "already stressed" rod/reel. Tied off to a cleat it's not an issue at all since I use 400lb mono outrigger line (but I do pull it up to clean it off every now and then).
Yes I know all about the south Florida weeds they can be a real pain. Makes trolling very difficult sometimes. I’m glad it’s working for you!
Wow just seeing this out of the box ruclips.net/user/postUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.
Great tutorial, learned a lot. I’m an offshore guy who doesn’t get wahoos to often, got to get those baits down ok I’m on it. Thx
Awesome good luck out there!
Thanks for taking the time to educate us newbies!! I am new to fishing in Puerto Rico and am looking for clever ways to fill the cooler. We've caught mahi, wahoo, kingfish and tuna so far and are always looking to get better. Hit me up if you are coming to the island, I'll be happy to take you fishing!!
I really appreciated the detail. I learned way more that I anticapated. Thanks
Thank you! I appreciate the comment
Great video! Easy to understand without anything unnecessary ill be watching the rest of your videos next!
Great job simplifying these methods. Looking forward to my next outing. Great job. Thank you!!!
Thank you! Good luck out there
Nice job ladies❤❤❤❤❤ very thorough! True anglers and well done!
Thanks Scott, great video. Just getting started at this I will be watching more of your videos for sure!
Great video!I love how you explain all methods .
Thanks so much!
Thanks for this. I already planer fish (method 3) but it was tougher to learn because you’re the first person to actually show anything you were talking about. Amazing how much more helpful a video is when you actually put what you’re talking about...in the video 😉 GREAT JOB!
Thanks a lot! I appreciate the feedback
Question for either of you, how often do you get a fish tangled in the down rigger line? Do you bring it in whenever a fish is hooked up? I’m interested in using method 3 this weekend.
@@georgesmith5042 the only time the planer line has been tangled is while fighting a tuna I got sharked and that shark messed me up. I usually don’t have an issue just always keep in mind you have a line down there. Always leave the boat in gear
@@ScottBonnerOutdoors thanks for the info!
awesome instructional video. thank you for the demonstration
Excellent. That really has taken the confusion out of this planer method. Many thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video clarified few things for me big thanks from 🏴
Glad it helped and thanks!
Its 1 am looking for planar pointers before going out in a few hours ty for the great demo
No problem thanks for watching
I really like that 3rd method!
Thanks brother!
No problem thanks for watching
I like the second setup. Good job!
Hit the button. Good clear info. Al methods are good in their own way!
Thanks for watching!
Great video man! Finally someone that explains how to do this simply! I’m now a subscriber.
Spot on the information I believe we are going to need. Thanks
Great video. Answered the question I had perfectly. Thank you
Awesome I’m glad it helped
By far the most informative and clear-cut video I've ever seen on planer fishing. I'm a veteran salt water fisherman including inline planer fishing, but have never used a cleated planer. I'm visual and had to see it done. Man you really laid it out perfectly. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the great feedback. The cleated planer is such a great method once you get it down
@@ScottBonnerOutdoors Instead of a swivel you can use a paper clip. Both work great
Best explanation I’ve seen on using planers, great video from a new subscriber.
Awesome thanks for subscribing. I’m planning on putting out lots of videos in the future
Very informative, I like method 3 you use.
It's now my favorite method as well, thanks man.
Awesome man glad to hear it
EXCELLENT! Much appreciated.
Just learned about that 3rd method! Thank u👍🏼
No problem!
Great video, best explanation and covered all info
Thomas McNamara thanks for the positive feedback. I hope this video ends up helping a lot of people
Best explanation ever. Thanks.
Great video Bro very informative! You do a great job explaining every method!
Thanks a lot!
This video is amazing man. Everything I could have ever wanted to know. Great job. Now I need to figure out how to do your #3 method on my Sea Doo Fish Pro.
Great video!! I'm very excited to try planers
Thank you! Definitely try it
Great Video, Thanks Cap!!!
Thank you! Tight lines
Great explanations, thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the video, I tried and it's work for bottom species also
Awesome thanks for letting me know! Yes this works great for trolling shallow water grouper too and other species
Holly. That is a great video. Thanks
Thanks a lot! I love getting feedback like this
Hey Scott, great video, I live in New-Caledonia in the South Pacific and have the planers but did not really know how to use them effectively, but now I know !! I Subscribed also for more informative videos, keep up the great work and thank you for all the goood advices !!
Thanks for the feedback and for subscribing. More videos to come!
@@ScottBonnerOutdoors Great! Iwill be waiting for theses Videos. I like the fact that you explain step by step, makes it simple and easy.
Very good info. I love to fish planers. But I've always wanted to get some fish on light gear. Rigging to the clete will allow that. Thank you for the lesson.
Excellent! Quickly got into it!
Thank you
Thank You Sir. I will try that poor mans method.
Thanks for sharing !
No problem thanks for watching and the comment
Excellent video!! I'm a newbie, and I've been watching videos about planers - all of which require hand-lining in the last 50-100ft of leader! I thought a bridle system was the only way to allow for a quick release reel-in leader system, but this SEPARATE cleat-mounted system takes the cigar!!!!!! Thank you! Now if I could just figure out all the knots you used to tie all this stuff together..... (not sure if I need it for your #3 setup (mainline,, mono, wire leader?) , but I did buy a crimping tool and crimps for 100lb mono). I will subscribe if you have all this stuff on your channel.
I use the uni knot and crimps mostly. Thank you for watching!
Love this Video it was so informative you really took time to explain everything very thoroughly I had watched a couple other videos and there was pieces missing and with yours and explained everything and I love how you went through all methods which I never had heard of any of these so when I came upon planer fishing I was researching it and then got your video which has been so awesome I will definitely share your video and keep subscribed and looking forward to more videos
Thank you so much!
I just bought my first boat ever and started fishing. im still leaning the ropes. I watched your video about planers and tried out method number 1. I hooked a shark lol
I was just showing my buddies what it was and how it was supposed to work and it worked alright. thank you for the video!
I just ordered more planers and making a poor mans setup hopefully trying it out this weekend if weather permits.
Keep at it you’ll become a pro in no time. Hopefully the next strike isn’t a shark lol
Sharks taste great
Just saying
Absolutely fantastic content. Great work and thank you. Subscribed!
Helps me out a lot on the “slaughter” style rig off the cleat. I read about that on Reddit but really helps to see it in a video. Thanks a lot for posting. Have you heard of anyone using this method in conjunction with outriggers? Might be cool if you could get 4 lines out by spreading them with the outrigger. Might be too much force from the planar ans also Little technical to pull the planar line over alongside the boat to clip in. But if you could might be a neat spread tactic. I think I’ll try it next time I’m in the boat.
I'm new to saltwater fishing and I've never seen method three before. Very interesting! If you put a sliding rig on the main line and put the rubber band between the planer line and the sliding rig maybe you wouldn't have to worry about excess line between the rod and the planner? If the pressure of the water is strong enough to push the slider down to the planer it seems like it could work. Then you could adjust the distance the bait is from the boat by letting out more line. I don't know but its a thought! Thanks for the new info!!!
I like the idea. Have you tried it yet?
Hi - I'm new to planers - and I just barely understand how Scott's 3rd system works to begin with, but it seems your idea of a sliding ring does add the adjustability component that Scott's rubber band method is missing. I think i need to see this (I'm a visual-based learner). Any chance you can forward an image of your idea? I'm in Eastern time zone (Florida).
Thank you for the teaching. I liked the first methoo
No problem thanks for watching. Good luck out there
Awesome video nice and clear explanation. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Very Greatful for this video thanks !
Very clear and informative, thanks you! I grew up offshore trolling with my grandpa as a kid but it’s been so long that I am pretty much a beginner again. Nice to have some to the point and easy to understand videos! Seems like a every other “tutorial/tips” videos are just dudes showing off fish lol
Thanks a lot for the great comment. I tried my best to be clear and to the point
Really appreciate this tutorial, thank You !!!
You're very welcome!
Subscribed, great info on some awesome techniques!
Thanks a lot!
Well done! Thanks!
Your videos are very informative man. Hope you continue to make them. Maybe one on your preferred bottom fishing setup and techniques. Keep churning out content like this and maybe mix in some footage of catching and this channel will grow. Thanks..subbed.
Thanks a lot I am planning some more videos and I will get better at making them more consistently
Great Video. I've never seen the cleated method. Can't wait to try it. I just subscribed. Keep it up.
Thank you!
Very well Explained. thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Very well spoken! Nice video with no wind noise!! Keep it up dude
I appreciate that. Thanks for watching
Bin looking for this kind of info for awhile. I use rubber bands for marlin fishing, so this came easy.
Very nice video! I'm getting ready to get my troll on..........going to use the remove planer method on one rod way back for cobia tubes and use poor mans down rigger closer for smaller spoons at same time. I subscribed.
Awesome let me know how it goes!
Subscribed. Thanks for the solutions that I was trying to find.👍
Thank you!
Thanks mate, I will be incorporating that cleated method into my fishing on Australia's east coast and hopefully it will save me the added expense of a,downrigger, definitely earned a sub and best of luck in the future.. 👍👍🇦🇺
Earned a sub? Yea ok clown. Who the hell do you think you are?
Gonna give this a try. Mahalo from Hawaii 🤙🏽
Awesome good luck

About to try the big planer on cleat method!
How did it go?
Dam man awesome video, i really apreciate all the time you took to explain all methods 💪🏼💪🏼
Thanks for the comment and no problem! I enjoyed making the video
Great video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks man. This vid was very helpful
No problem glad it helped
Great job on the explanation of these tactics. I just purchased two 30 wide conventional reels and they have 40 lb mono on them. I was contemplating adding the 80 lb braid for in line planer fishing but seeing the 3rd example really allows the use of any rod which is a much better option. Should I add the braid to those 30 wides? I fish braid on all of my spinning reels but not sure why everyone is going braid on trolling outfits as an extensive long shock wind on leader needs to go on anyway. I want to stay as versatile as possible on those 30s. Much appreciated and wish you all the best.
Tight lines from The Florida Keys.
Anthony Polizze I would leave your 30 wides as they are and try the cleated planer option first. If you find that you prefer the in line planer methods better then yes you will have to add 80lb braid. Leaving the 40lb mono is the best option if you can do that
Exelent explication thanks cpt🙏👍👍
Thank you!
Nice lesson 💪
Thanks, very useful.
Glad to hear that!
Thanks for taking the time to make this, new sub here!
Thanks for the sub!
