There are all kinds of hazards in the water close to shore (trees & rocks to name the obvious). If you're trolling in really shallow water, your risk of getting hung up on all kinds of things is pretty high. Cost of doing business, as they say. I just don't get all the vitriol against people with mooring balls and how they "winterize" them. And if your reaction to getting a line hung up on a mooring line is to be so PO'd that you'd cut their line, then I'd say you are exhibiting dangerous "road rage" like behavior. Think about that. The lake doesn't need hot heads that grossly over-react to the minor inconveniences of life. Hakuna Matata as they say....

And BTW, I caught lots of salmon last weekend and was never closer than 150 ft from shore in 50+ feet of water.
