Lol... I know that you are new, but you contribute and you share. That was the point to my post, I wasn't trying to give any one person credit as much as share a personal experience. You joined this year and engage conversation and share in here quite often.
In regards to trolling or casting... I LOVE the jig bite when it's hot! If I can go limit on a hot jig bite or go trolling for trophies, I'll jig!
There is nothing like going out to the reefs and casting some meat and catching walleye. I love to go out and relax... However, I am not a captain and usually have friends with me that I bring up and they are after the "Walleye of a lifetime" and for me the odds of that monster 32" 15lb walleye being caught are much better if I troll. I have my spinning rods on board all the time.
If I could catch the same class of fish consistently on the reefs during the Summer as I can trolling then I would cast / drift over trolling. You just can't cover the same ground and I don't seem to catch the large class of fish (on a regular consistent basis) when casting.
But, yes, I still love to hold a rod and feel the fish hit!
