Are a choice of many in smaller boats . Checkout Ohio game fishing and do a search for inline boards . You will be amazed at all the info on there on the subject . Once you get a feeling for them , they are very easy to learn and run . There are also a lot of guys on there that fish the areas near Oregon Ohio that will helpout with spots and programs without telling you to pay for a trip with someone who is not even running the same boards . If you want to learn big boards yes it would be worth it . But to do a trip to learn and they are not even using what you plan on using does nothing for you bud .

The area that most are fishing now is NW of West Sister to the Turn around bouy . No secret spot there as there were over 400 boats in that area each day of the weekend. Once you learn the spots , the fishing will be easy as they are catching them on anything and everything out there from Spoons, harnesses, and casting .Butch and Dennys is a very good source of help with daily reports and free coffee in the morning .

Learning Charters help if hey are geared to fish like you are . Yes there are Captains out there that would switch over to small boards if you ask and others who wont .

Good Fishing
