What type of fishing line is best for fishing on the shore at a lake?
So my friends and I love to fish. We fish on a river about everyday. We never fished at a lake before so we are going tomorrow to lake michigan. We don’t have much money to get a boat so we are fishing off the shore. The only question I have. What type of fishing line is best used to catch those big fish in the lake?

start off with a good quality monofilament.
as your experience increases and conditions dictate, then you begin experimenting with superline braids and fluorocarbons.

I use 6 to 8 pound monofilament, it works well for me but other people don’t like it because it has memory ( it will form to the spool after time) and can fray when fished in heavy cover.
Monofilament. Trilene, Stren, and Sufix all make good lines. 6lb, 8lb, or 10lb should be more than enough.
The water which you fish really isn’t the issue to consider. Instead, consider what fish you will be going for and what kind of baits you will be using.
If you’re just a casual Bass and Panfish person, stick with a monofilament line in the 6-10 pound range. You can throw about any bait you want to when staying within this limit, except for heavier baits and deep running baits like jigs or deep diving crankbaits.
If you plan on using deep diving/running or heavy baits, you’ll probably want to up the line a bit. Look into the 12 to 14 pound monofilament.
If you’re going for “teethy” fish like Pike or Musky, you’ll want to at least use a braided leader. I absolutely hate braided line, but sometimes it is necessary. Beware of this stuff though. It will really screw up your rod and reel with time if you’re not careful.
monofilament is a good option
