Guys, wondering what distances/spacing you run your boards? I typically run one out 60, 90, and 120 feet out of line. Curious what everyone else is doing/suggests?

For me, it depends where the bite is in relation to the shoreline. There's been times when the fish were only eating right up on the bank, and I ended up putting 3 in a row right on the bank. Other times, I stagger them back to the boat like you mentioned.
I'm not one to put the boards way out there. I tend to keep them within 50-60 feet of the boat, only because I can maneuver better if they are closer and I can see whats going on with them via sonar and just being able to see the action at the board. Sometimes less is more..

Like John, it depends.... Much of the time mine are pretty close and tight.....but when fishing the channel or main creeks I'll spread them on out to cover water - and if using long lines behind the boards I'll spread them out to try and help keep them from tangling in the turns... not always very successful with that, but.....
