Rich Clemens Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Multi-species. I do most of my fishing north of the border. July is bass season and we do fairly well. Late September we target Muksie and Pike. After a period of time wiht no activity, I guess you could say I'd be happy with anything that takes the line. But - we're out there enjoying the out of doors regardless of the bite. We typically keep a few basss for a fish fry and everything else is released for someone else or our next trip.

Guest mistyriver1 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Great question Jamie. I would say mulit-species for me, but the toothy guys are my fave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Carp 1/3 of the year, steelhead/salmon/browns the other 2/3's. I still do the odd trips in summer for bass and pike though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setomonkey Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Multi-species, I fish whenever I can but will target certain species depending on season and the lake we're going to. Trout in the early spring (though not last year), panfish in April/May, then pike & walleye usually open, mostly bass in July & August, and then bass, pike, or muskie in the Fall. Don't usually target 'eyes, except for a couple of hours around dusk at the cottage lake. Have never targeted carp, catfish, etc. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyb Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) If it has fins it makes me grin Multi-species all the way. I am currently getting pumped to catch some Ling in the great white north this winter. Tony Edited December 18, 2006 by tonyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Multispecies angler for sure. In the fall mainly muskies with a trip or 2 to Quinte thrown into mix it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basskicker Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I love my bass fishing, but I'm definately a multi-species fisherman. Pike, walleye, perch during the ice season, trout in the early spring. Usuall spring trip to Kirkland lake for a week for some huge pike....then a bit of walleye before the bass season opens. Then bass until September before the salmon hit and some more trouting until freeze up. 12 months a year.... Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickNblock Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Great thread and equally great responses from everyone. I grew up close to one particular trib so I'd half to say creek 'bows and it's still my Fav, but, This board has turned me into a muskymaniacman...fortuante enough not having to have paid my full dues with 10,000 casts...and I believe I have more musky equipment/lures then for all other species combined. I love the ice for perchin cuz its nice being able to feel a tug on the line in the cold winters when my creek has frozen up and its the time my whole family will get out and actually all enjoy. Reaaly enjoy my outings with fishdawg..so I have to add LakeO salmon/browns/lakers to the list. Multi-Species for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Bass and pike most of the time. Lakers, pickerel and browns are the by-catch.... A little bit of panfishing (YP, sunnies, and Crappie) when that action is hot. Surfcasting for stripers.... Carp fishing with bait and soon on the fly....

shawnf Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Multi-Species.... but thats a reflection of my job. hahahha I REALLY want to focus in on the bass, however not a lot of bass here in So Dak. The rest of the family here are Walleye, and Pike. Maybe if I look hard enough, I'll find the bass in this region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2kptbo Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Multi-Species, have a least 4 rods rigged with different stuff so I'm ready to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesn Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Bass. From May to late June (Lake Erue). My fishing season ends on Nov 30th most years. Now that NY is open 365, I will be able to start bassin probably in late March/early April. Have fished for steelhead and lakers in the Winter on the Niagara, fun but just too darn cold. Perch in the early spring is fun - once or twice when the winds on the big lake force you inland. But there is just something about bass that makes it occupy 99.999% of brain real estate. The competitive aspect is probably what drives me to improve. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm a simple guy: musky, pike, bass when in Canada. Dolphin, kingfish, wahoo, barracuda when visiting mom in florida (oh ya, hard to beat the fight of those pesky bonita as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Walleye guy here! If the body of water holds eye's, I'll fish for them first! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntervasili Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I will try anything but Particularily Like fishing for browns and bows with the fly rod... no roaring engines or anyone to bug me.... just the sound of a river is what I wanna hear... I like fishing for Walleye, Bass, Pike too... Anything else is just a bonus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITEME Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Anything and every thing dont usually target carp or suckers though Fresh or saltwater If its wet ill dip it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I've always been a Trout guy. I used to live for Steelhead fishing, but eventually graduated to Brook Trout fishing. I'll target just about anything except Pike and course fish, if the time is right though. There's nothing like a good feed of Walleye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffw Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I live on sturgeon lake so every species in there especially muskie at the end of the season unfortunately. But I have too say my favourite passion is saltwater reef and flats fishing. Especially with a flyrod. Cheers Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeontroller Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 My main species has changed over the years...And for a few it was more about being the fish than fishing... As a teenager Bass and Steelhead were my main targets... Now I'm mostly interested in Muskie from June till late fall! Last spring my interest in Salmon/Trout trolling on Lake O was sparked, hoping to do more of that next year. Still willing to go after any finned adversary though!

tjsa Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Primarily walleye for me, but during specific times of specific months, steel, brook trout, salmon(coho and chinook), lake trout also. Pike are an incidental catch when after waldo's, consider them trash fish really, annoying pests that steal my bait and break my lures off, lol.
