Ok this has gotten to good to not chime in..! I agree the all mighty King is why "most" people hit the lake! The screaming drag and power is unmatched by any other species we have. But at the same time there is nothing better then a monster Stealhead tail dancing 200ft behind the boat like a tarpon! (My favorite). For me the best thing about OUR lake is the fact that when you leave the dock, the possibilitys of catching a true giant and the fish of a life time are there!! And for that reason I enter the LOC because you never know! I honestly believe that thats the exact reason why everyone on here and that fishes the Lake do to. I see both sides arguments and agree with both sides as funny as that sounds, but thats why I FISH! Some like the rules some dont end of story.
We have alot of luck with the in-lines. For us they are easier to reset to the same position they were in. Plus its good practice for the Walleye opener!! I also think that they give the stix a little different action, def not as fun fighting the fish but it gets them in the boat!
