I use my 9 wt as you never know what you will hook and the bones fight very hard so that you don't feel over gunned. Run and Gun is the most fun if you are not trying to share with an impolite crowd, if you are, find your own schools. Intermediated or sinking line is most often the way to go and I use a two-handed retrieve with a stripping basket, but then again I use a stripping basket trout fishing...
