jeosbo01 Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Everything! We sometimes fish with live shad, cut bait and nightcrawlers in a channel off of the Mississippi and we catch a little bit of everything that swims...Usually hoping for big cats, but enjoy catching white bass, bowfin, largemouth, smallmouth, spots, carp, gar, drum, etc... Normally I HATE catching drum, but I nailed a 23 inch one this spring at the Falls of the Ohio while fishing for sauger on ultra-lite gear and man was it ever a blast! Took me a good 15-20 minutes to play that slimy beast in Quote
tallydude Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I LOVE catching dolphin and sailfish. Quote
DADto4 Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 crappie and bluegill with the kids is a blast Quote
DADto4 Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 And I'm usually left with this ;D So I have to brag on the kids! Quote
Yakfish Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Pickerel. I was getting skunked one day this summer while my brother and a couple buddies were reeling in the LM's but the pickerel were going nuts for my top water frog so I went with it. Without a doubt the most ferocious strikes I've ever seen. Not the easiest hooksets but it was a blast watching those mean SOB's jump (reminiscent of the creatures in Tremors). I caught no bass at all that day and left with stinky, slimy hands but I think I had more fun than anyone else on the water Quote
PondHunter Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Pike. Even the small ones fight better than a bass will. Quote
shaw24 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 And I'm usually left with this ;D So I have to brag on the kids! That thing is huge!!!! When it gets warmer we still need to get together and do some fishing. Quote
daviscw Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Catfish or spanish and king mackerel, flounder, grouper, anything offshore. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 2, 2009 Super User Posted January 2, 2009 I agree with the other Floridians. For me in saltwater, it's jack, snook and tarpon. Freshwater it's peacocks and bass are way down on my list. Bass is what I fish for when the ocean bite is off and I'm bored. Excited to try barramundi. Quote
Bayou Bass Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 For freshwater I would have to say crappie (we call them sac-a-lait down here) and bream. Most of my fishing is inshore saltwater and we go for speckled trout and redfish. Our limit is 25 specs and 5 reds so when the action is on we have a blast. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted January 28, 2009 Super User Posted January 28, 2009 I like fishing for catfish and crappie in freshwater and croaker and rock in saltwater all within 5 mins of each other i love living on a penisula sorrounded by saltwater and so many farm ponds its paradise minus the snow and ICE Quote
LCpointerKILLA Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 My former saltwater location, New Smyrna Beach, makes me miss the redfish Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Muskie & Fly Fishing for Trout/Steelhead Quote
DawsonH Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 anything that will bite on the other end of my line. Spent a lot of time last summer fishing for alligator gar. Got one about 80lbs and 5'6'' long. That puts a bow in your bass rod ;D Quote
silvercliff_46 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Bluegill and Crappie on the fly rod. Quote
Super User Micro Posted February 22, 2009 Super User Posted February 22, 2009 Pickerel. Luv 'em. Quote
BassnMan Mike Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 When were not bass fishing my buddy Tom and I like to catch crappie, striped bass and native trout. Quote
cofishingrl Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Lake trout. Right after ice out they're close to shore and hungry! Cutthroat trout. They prefer high mountain lakes and streams. Catfish. I'm surprised at how hard they fight! Quote
BassFishingMachine Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I fish for a variety of fish year round, Though my top 3 favorites are Largemouth, Fluke, and Striper. Quote
Lauren Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 [tt]Crappie, sunfish, and bluegill![/tt] Quote
Bernie Mac Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 WOW...I thought this post would kinda keep going but died out, and I'm surprised know one included Salmon (any variety) By far the favorite to fish for when Bass season is closed in the fall. Here's a 36" (only one that season, limited time) when I came home for R&R from Iraq in late Oct '08 Quote
