I grew up on a lake and my aunt came out very often in the summer and we would go fishing. Now we have a cabin in northern Minnesota and go there every week from April thru Oct and we fish all the time. Mostly I fish for sunnies and we do go trolling for northerns, and those I pickle because I do not like to pick out those nasty y bones. Taught my now 11 yr old DGD to fish when she was 4 yrs old and now she loves it also, yes I am a fisherwoman. No more winter fishing though - to hard on hands when water is cold.
