What do you fish for

[Jim Hudson]

I wish I could just search out one or two species of fish... I know I could, but I am always finding something new to fish for or new ways to fish for a specific species.

So yeah, whatever is biting, or whatever I want to try to fish for on a certain day. It keeps me pretty busy!!

What don't I fish for? Pretty much a all around fisherman having really no preference on what I am out to catch. All depends on the season and what body of water I am on on that particular day. One preference is Salmon but that is usually short seasons that they are a main target in plentiful supply.

Open (moving) water:

1)trout

2)smallmouth

3)whatever else bites

When everyone else is ice-fishing? Open (moving) water in SE MN for me...

1)trout

2)smallies (when the season is open)

strickly Walleye

nothing but Walleye

exclusively Walleye

anything else is just burning time til Walleye season opens.

As John Gillespie would say "wallo, wallo, wallo." I also like fishing for muskie, smallies and crappies. It's all good except for those rough fish that bark or go baaahhh.

[Aquaman01]

Dogfish, sucker, carp, sheepshead, bullhead, rockbass and turtles (c&r).

[walleye4]

I generally target walleye and crappies. Every now and again though, I try some muskie, northerns, and SMB.

Definitly depends on the season.

Ice: panfish, but would like to try more for lakers.

Open: Early spring -- panfish

Spring -- stream trout

Late spring -- LM bass, SM bass

Early summer -- SM bass, LM bass

July -- Bass, Honey-do-list, Muskie

August-Nov -- Muskie,Muskie,Muskie and maybe bass

if my arm gets twisted enough.

BUT, I always like to try different things -- river and stream, new lakes, etc.... It's all good!!
