Are You A _____- Angler Or A Multispecies Angler?

[Crazyhook]

Do you have a true passion for bass, musky or walleye or do you enjoy any fish that pulls on your line?

 

I was a die hard musky angler ( still toss and turn and think about them all the time) but do really enjoy my annual bass / pike fishing tournament, fishing for sharks down south ( my current greatest love) , all saltwater fish, my new friend the carp, and will give fly fishing a good go next season

 

what makes you happy?

[Gerritt]

Well I was a multi-Species angler... mainly Walleye and Perch...MMMMmmmmm... but I seriously think I am addicted to Rainbows... they are all I think about after spending a week fishing for em.. I mean 6lb-8lb test, 4lb leader and a fish that fights like heck whats not to love... seriously they are all I am thinking about!!!

Yeah, insert <Steelhead> for me too

[Bernie]

I work on engines and noisey equipment, listen to the doggone phone ringing, and occasionally my wonderful wifes tongue lash. When I go fishing I dont want to troll and listen to another engine running.Park it on a reef and catch a bucket of walleye. Nothing finer.

[dheitzner]

bass is my first passion when it comes to fishing but i really love whatever's on the end of my line.

There is a time and a place for EVERYTHING.

 

To much of a good thing is not a good thing.

...unless its fishing..

...then it's never enough..!!

 

 

[muskymatt]

Muskie , then lake trout, then walleye ,,,but I do have to say any pull is exciting to me.

Love the eyes, but anything that pulls is a thrill !!

[Raf]

june to december it's pretty much just muskies but the other months are spent fishing for the other species.

[urbanangler1990]

every season different species, ill go after 2 species per season, like for summer ill go for bass and carp... and so on...

[Ben_Daniels]

I am a multispecies angler, but started bass fishing young and whenever i go out to fish pike, walleye, crappie I always end up fishing for bass without even thinking about it...

[ChrisK]

Anything and everything !!!

[Carp]

I'll fish for just about anything, but walleye and great lakes salmon and trout are probably my favourites.

[fishdawg]

definetly multi species

 

though I am really starting to enjoy open water trolling for salmon, trout & walleye, i still find time for all the others.

 

Its nearly impossible to be a year round angler with just one species in mind, though it does make things a little more pricey to outfit yerself to be able to do so

 

I also enjoy travelling around to new spots/places, so being a multi-species guy I am never disapointed with what species are available in a given spot.

[GbayGiant]

Love it all, but Muskie, Walleye, salmon/rainbow are my go to. I think it just has alot to do with where you live, grew up in Collingwood all salmon/trout action, moved up north now it's all Muskie Walleye action.

[gbalardo]

take it season by season....fish it all.

[ccmtcanada]

This past year, it's been exclusively Walleye...but it's that by default. I dont have a boat, and because of my day job and kids, I can only get out at night. Catching trophy eyes is an awesome feeling, but next year I'd like to get out for Salmon and Muskie!!!

[kennyman]

Let's start by qualifying my answer as a "newbie". I just started fishing alot this year. I guess I'm in the "Anything" camp, but what get's my heart really pounding and my knees shaking ..... fish with teeth. Pike or musky are my favorite so far, but I guess if a 6 or 7lb bass hit my line and tried pulling my arms off I'd like that too. I guess any fish that hits topwater would qualify for sure. I love that!

[Mike the Pike]

walleye mostly,Pike bass,perch,trout. Love the look of a Garpike.I am yet to catch a steelhead,chinook,Lake trout and Muskie.My buddies named me Mike the Pike no explanation needed.When i go walleye fishing always end up with a pike .Casting for bass becomes pike fishing.LOL

[wolfville]

I only fished about 10 times for bass this year, but I probably fished over 150 times this year so far... Some of you already know what I went after in those 140+ times, if you don't already know you probably don't want to know anyway....

[Rich]

Well if you asked me 6 months ago I would have told you I'm a die hard bass guy. But after trying for and catching a variety of species this year I can honestly say I'm a multi-species angler. With a fetish for musky

[Greencoachdog]

Multi, multi, multi-species! Life bis too short for me to just chase one kind of fish!

[IanD]

First love is chasing big pike. After that, if it swims, I'll chase it.

[lew]

I'm 99% a musky fisherman and when their in season, it's the only species I fish for.

 

In May, before musky opens, I enjoy fishing for pickeral in the Kawarthas & Quinte (and hopefully tomorrow) and then in the winter I fish with Squid a few times on the Lower Niagara, and even the odd weekday salmon trip thrown in early in the season on Lake O

 

No interest in ice fishing though.

[SlowPoke]

For me the reward is in the fight, not the species. Having said that, I can get skunked and still have a good time on the water!
