I would check to see if there are snags or not around the island.
If there are no snags I would happily fish slack lines with a running lead, undertow allowing. If there are snags I would be fishing a tight line, don't give any line on the take, hitting any indication.

The problem with fishing slack or semi to snags is the fish can easily dart into the snag before you’ve even had a beep on your alarm. Better to have good indication when snag fishing. If you’re worried about drop backs look at running lead setup as using this setup should eliminate that

I normally use a slack or semi slack to try and get the line down low. Would you not be concerned that the fish might swim into the line when using a tight line?

Totally agree, if there are any snags, which there are on most islands, rods should be fished locked up tight and kept a close eye on.

If hard up to island then I’d fish tight line so fish can’t snag you up. Would only be able to go left/right or drop back to you.

Hi all,
I have some questions that I hope you guys can help me with.
when fishing to an island would you use a tight line or not? In my mind I use slack lines to sink the line down so I don't spook the fish but am I missing takes by doing this?
The lake is a clay bottom with silt in areas. I have been using Ronnie rigs on a running rig but is there a better alternative?
Thanks in advance
