[cool][#0000ff]Ah yes, the jealous rock gods of Lincoln Beach often demand tribute...in the form of anglers' tackle. That is one of the great benefits of tubing that area. As long as you do not try to "pull the plug" on the lake, every time you snag, you can usually kick back over the snagged jig and recover a high percentage of them.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]When fishing from an anchored boat, you are at the mercy of the elements. If the elements include wind, that does not help. Wading can be slightly better, but since you are usually casting out into water deeper than your "water line", you will still find yourself tying a lot of new rigs.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]That is why I fish light heads at Lincoln. The 1/16 oz. heads, on the larger hooks, lets me glide the large plastics slowly over the rocks with far fewer "solid sets". You still have to pay attention and you will not totally escape getting "rocked", but you will spend more time fishing.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]When you use heavier heads, you get down faster in deeper water, but you have to reel faster to keep out of trouble. Unfortunately, wallies sometimes do not like faster retrieves so you are just washing lures.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Oh the tribulations we must endure in the name of fishing pleasure.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Good luck. [/#0000ff]
