True, seeing a great lakes charter boat in action is really something, not uncommon to have 10 or more lines out in the trolling spread, absolute wall of death. The limit is either 3 rods or no limit per person (I forget), but when I set up, I'd troll six terminals for two of us in my boat. A decent fish would be a fire drill clearing the deck. Back then we almost never saw 20 lbers, but I have heard there are a couple these days. The fish were kind of trouty in the way they'd go on the bite right at gray light in the morning for a flurry, and then shut down til later in the day. No tide change bites to work. Just different fishing, different strokes, different folks, or some of the same,
