one of my most favorite ways to fish is casting the shorelines in the spring. Look for rocky shorelines with sand and gravel mixed in, also look for a slow brake on the shoreline as it stays shallow coming out from the shoreline further. Put your trolling motor down and follow the shoreline. Tie a small snap to your line and snap your DT-4 to it and throw right up to where the water touches the shoreline and very your retrieve to the boat. I like the DT-4 because they cast like a rocket and very durable on the rocks and they have large sharp hooks. I also like using mono for this as it gives a little shock absorber when the smally hits. Check the last 5' of your line often as there are a lot of rocks, and your line gets nicked up quickly. That's why I use the XT mono, if there is a nick pull off 5' and retie.. Good Luck and see you on the water.
