How about running a dipsy diver off of a set up as shown in pics of the planner boards. No planner board, just a dipsy diver.
At the tail end of the diver, attached a downrigger release clip. Tension of the release on the DD so that it is not going to release when a fish takes the bait, rather the down rigger release will be released, then it is fish on with just you and the fish.
The DD is just taking the place of the ball essentially. to reset, bring in the diver and start all over. This would allow for a long set back behind the diver, get the bait to the side of the boat, and remove the need for an expensive downrigger.
Anyone ever try such a thing? I could not find anything online about a similar set up. I would call it the A triple D (ADDD).
The diver could also be set out with a really stout pole to facilitate brining it back in to reset.
I would love to hear some feed back positive and negative.
