What species do you target most?

[Aaron Shirley]

I am wondering what species everyone here likes to target most often. You can pick more than one species.

 

Cheers,

 

Aaron

For some reason, the poll option didn't work?

[charlied]

steelhead and bass!

[misfish]

My answer is as follows

 

1 Bass

2 pike

3 white fish

4 Lakers

5 perch and crappies

6 What ever else will bite my baits.

 

LOL

 

I had trouble with the poll thing too.Too complicated for us common folk.LOL

[misfish]

I forgot about salmon and bows.LOL

[lew]

Pickeral in May and then nothing but muskies from early June till mid-December

[ccmtcanada]

I fish exclusively from shore so what I target depends on what's close!!!

 

1) Early Spring and Fall - Steelhead

2) Late Spring and Summer - Carp

3) Fall - Walleye

[Raf]

June-Dec muskie

 

rest of year, anything that swims. lakers & pike are at the top of the list.

[RobHall]

Half my fishing hours are spent looking for that elusive Muskie. Having the Ottawa & Rideau Rivers within a few minutes drives has it's advantages. The other half is divided between eye's, Pike, Bass, Panfish and sometimes Lake trout. Carp and Salmon are on my to do list.

In the winter I target trout and whitefish, in the spring crappie and trout, late spring walleye and summer to fall muskies then bass the salmon.

Bass mostly, but that's because those I fish with prefer that. Honestly, I haven't caught many fish and not many species. I hope to fish for as many different species this year as I can, then I might be able to tell you , I even changed my work schedule so that I'm off Sundays in hopes that someone will take pity on me and invite me out fishing with them . Right now it's for whatever is in season and will take my offerings.

River Trout and then the Other Fish

[silvio]

in order

steelhead and salmon (river fishing)

bass

cats and carp

ps Aaron love your steelhead show with the pin hats of to you. Try to get another one done for fall steelhead with the pin.

[Mattitude]

1. Smallmouth Bass

2. Largemouth Bass

Simple reason is I find these ones to have the most fun factor.

[tonyb]

Humans...preferrably female ones

[fishnsled]

It varies with the time of year.

 

Early winter Perch,

Winter -walleye, lakers and whitefish,

Late winter/early spring- perch, crappies, steelhead,

Spring - walleye and pike,

Late spring/early summer - muskies,

Summer - bass and walleye,

Late summer/early fall - bass, walleye and muskie

Fall - muskie

Late fall (after the Kawarthas close down) - walleye

 

Then it starts all over again.

[spanky]

Bass

steelhead

pike- tho i never catch any

catfish

crappie

[solopaddler]

I target everything...

Top 4 in no particular order would be steelhead, brook trout, walleye and pike.

[Aaron Shirley]

Thanks everyone. I am going to ask Rick to help me figure out how to post a poll for this topic Hopefully I can figure out how to get this poll up soon.

 

Silvio, thanks for the compliment. Actually TonyB and I filmed an episode for our 2008 series on centerpin steelhead in the tribs in High Definition.. unfortunately, it will only air in standard definition. There are lots of bright chrome acrobatic steelies going ballistic

 

Good fishing!
