Help a newbie out?

Can really speed up the learning curve by booking a trip with a charter captain.They can really help you learn about fishing locations and the gear to fish with.Do you have a preference to cast or troll for walleye?

I did a charter earlier this year with Captain Ned. We were casting on that trip and I learned a lot from that charter. We fished mostly east of Kelly's and north of Cedar Point at that time around the dumping grounds. We did hit some reef later in the day in that area too but I can't remember exactly where it was. Since then it sounds like most of the hot spots have moved west from what I'm reading. When I go out I've mostly been drifting because that's what we did on the charter. Just for giggles I did throw a line off the back while I was moving and something big bit it. Unfortunately the line I had wasn't strong enough for whatever was on there and it ran out all my line and snapped it. I plan on trying trolling next time I get out.
