Favorite fishing

[TheBudMan]

If you had to choose a favorite fish to fish for in the summer months, what would it be and why?:fish::fish:

Panfish, since walleye from shore are pretty hard to get every time you go out and trout fishing in the summer can at times be work and no doubt isn't as good as in the spring and fall.

I like the taste of panfish and we typically catch a bunch of them when we fish for them, plus we can just take out canoe to my favorite panfish lake which is also a plus. I also catch pike, walleye and bass when fishing for panfish since I uses only lures which is big fun on ultra light tackle. - Bryon

casting cranks at night for walleyes is my favorite fishing, hands down.

Bass!!!!!

[jakeo]

Panfish...

[rockbass]

No comparison- salmon hands down.

[Bluegill]

Panfish because I like to eat them.

I love catching some hog bass, but since I mainly trout fish I only go for bass once and awhile.

River Smallmouth get My vote. You can always find a hungry Smallie in a River, and River fish are WAY less affected by fronts. Gamest fish that swims. C-man

[deadboi77]

musky and pike

drifting crawler harnesses with crawlers and minnows for walleyes in Lake Erie:fish:

[Quack Wacker]

Summer = Ripping Bucktails through the weeds for trophy pike

Winter = Catching big slab crappies, while having a beer on the ice, smoke in my mouth and using my vexilar.

[fishinthed]

Geez, that's hard to narrow down ... but right now it's muskies for me. :fish:

[axisgear]

Skamania steelhead and........CATFISH! Big flathead CATFISH the state record to be exact.

[aquaticsanonymous]

Carp! And the bigger the better!

[Dave200516]

I gotta go with the CATFISH!!

Sitting on the river bank with a bunch of buddies, sharing past fishing stories, cooking hot dogs over the fire, catching cats all night.
I just can't get enough!

Vote#3 for river smallies. Love spending the day canoeing down the river and catching Mr. Bronzeback!

[Carpman]

Oh let me think....ummmmmm CARP :dizzy:

[spiritofthewild_06]

Honestly, the best fishing for me is when I can get my daughter out there and let her catch some gills...

[Jitterbugger]

Top water bassin' followed closely by fly popper gills and sunnies.

[RyeDog]

Lunker Perch! Nothing like a mess of Jumbo Perch!!!! :corkysm55

[msfcarp]

River smallmouth (#4,) with light tackle, 4lb. test and 5 1/2 ft rod, cotton cordell big-O or shad rap. Can't beat it but bluegills with a fly rod is a close second.

[yungbuck616]

Northerns and hopefully a muskie someday:)

[gregsiesz]

Frog fishing the pads for bass!! I love the topwater action.

[MuskyDan]

heat of the summer it is tuff to beat senko bass fishing! But the topwater musky bite is fun too! I am certainly glad I don't have to chose.

[FrankB]

Perch and Walleye with the kids.

[RobFromFlint]

Gills with my daughter. If it was just me, river smallies.
