thinkingredneck reply :
I fish primarily from a yak. How about you?
DINK WHISPERER reply :
Bass boat but love jumping on the ATV and fishing the ponds out in the middle of nowhere.
CarlF reply :
Access is an issue where I fish. Reservoirs I like to fish are privately owned, and dont open the boat launches until May. So boat (as much as possible), and float tube for all else.
WRB reply :
Fresh water; My bass boat the majority of the time, occasionally bank fish small lakes, ponds, streams and rivers.

long island basser reply :
From my bass hunter or porta boat. Haven’t fished from the bank in probably 25 years now,
crypt reply :
boat 95%-bank the rest..............5%...
gimruis reply :
Boat 90% of the time. There is a river that's too shallow and rocky that I fish in the summer and I use an 11 foot jon boat for that.
68camaro reply :
Bank 75%, yak 25% only because I have two ponds in neighborhood and a couple by work I can do from 30 min to couple hours so I get to it several times a week, while yak keeps me out from half to full day so I go much less due to less time to go.
Tracker22 reply :
Yak 100%
volzfan59 reply :
I fish from my yak, in the river, most of the time. I fish as a co-angler with a buddy also. That's about the only time I "lake" fish anymore.
Junk Fisherman reply :
Boat 100%
Bought a yak 2 years ago and used it 6 times. Never used it this year. Need to sell it.
Bluebasser86 reply :
Mainly my bass boat, but I'll also roll in a johnboat, yak, or on the bank, fishing is fishing.
Bass_Fishing_Socal reply :
Bank 70%, boat 20% yak 10%. I don't have a lot of time each trip 2-3 hours so I rather grab 1-2 setup plus a few lures and head to my fav spots.
Way north bass guy reply :
Boat 99% canoe or shore the other 1%.
scaleface reply :

RenegadeBassin reply :
Boat 80%, Ice shack 20%.
Troy85 reply :
Boat 99%. Yak or Bank 1%. Most bank fishing is done at local park ponds.
TOXIC reply :
Used to have a Bass Hunter pvc boat that I used in the electric only lakes around me. It was fun and easy to trailer. There are a bunch of those lakes within a close distance. I sold it because I was guiding on bigger water and just not using it anymore. I still bank fish a few private ponds I have access to but it's rare. I tried a yak and it's not for me. I got bit by the new water bug and pull my 21 foot Ranger all over the country now. It's just so much more exciting to fish new water.

Boat 90% of the time
I'll also fish around my father in-laws dock, shoreline with my son and wife.
tander reply :
95% of time it is in a boat. I do fish from the bank at our city lake when I got an hour or so to fish.

Bank. Or preferably wading.
Catt reply :
By whatever means necessary ????
N Florida Mike reply :
Jon boat or bass hunter at least 80 %. Mostly small lakes.Got a yak too but havent used it in over a year.
Used to wade fish a lot. Almost never anymore so its bank fishing ponds the other 20%.
LOTR88 reply :
I live on a lake where we have a pontoon boat so most of my fishing is from the pontoon boat. I am looking to get a small John boat to use so I can access some of the other canals and lakes that branch off from my lake through small tunnels that my pontoon boat can't get through.
Darren. reply :
Kayak. Occasional shore.
fishwizzard reply :
A mix of bank and kayak, this last year was way way more bank, which is a trend I plan on reversing this coming season. I really prefer wading to either bank or boat however, if I lived closer to wadeable water it's all I would do.
NYWayfarer reply :
I fish primarily in this order:
1) Kayak
2) Shore
3) Boat
4) Canoe
I prefer the kayak but I fish from shore after work sometimes when loading/unloading a kayak would eat up too much fishing time.
I fish from a boat with my Father-in law from time to time.
I own a canoe and use it when my son wants to fish. I will be using this even less as I plan on getting him a kayak as well.
DogBone_384 reply :
I fish primarily from a kayak. I rent a boat at the Quabbin Reservoir a few times a year and another member is generous with the 2nd seat on his boat, but other than that, it’s a ‘yak.
One of my kayaks is in/on my truck most of the season.
RPreeb reply :
Shore so far, but soon to be canoe as much as possible - buying an Old Town Discovery 133. Small enough to wrestle on top of my F-150 by myself and paddle solo, but big enough so that I can take my wife along when she wants to go too. Anything that needs to be trailered is not an option for me because I need to be able to pull my 24' Jayco camper most of the time.
Glbglb21 reply :
Bank fishing. Looking into getting a kayak just looking around for something that is verstile but wont break my bank probably have to build some outriggers for the one im looking at but idk still looking.
thinkingredneck reply :
If you are looking at kayaks try some if you can. Most will work for fishing, though. Sit on top kayaks are roomier amd self bailing.
Mobydick reply :
Kayak 100%
dwh4784 reply :
Kayak 95% of the time, but have a couple spots I will hit from the bank with the wife.
Chowderhead reply :
Pelican Bass Raider 10E about 95% of the time.

Pretty close to the same, except Mad River, and Crestliner.
Dtrombly reply :
Bank mostly. I have a Sun Dolphin Sportsman, but have to rely on my brother and his truck to take it out since I drive a sedan.
BrianSnat reply :
I have an old, 14 Ft Grumman with a 9.9 on the back. Though I wouldn't mind a higher HP motor, several of the better fishing waters where I live (NJ) have a 10 HP limit, so I'm kind of stuck with the 9.9. It does the job. If I'm alone, on flat water I can get it up on a plane and hiit 20 MPH. With a partner I max out at about 16 MPH, stilll plenty fast for my needs. I fish out of that boat about 80 percent of the tme.
The rest of the fishing is out of my canoe (I tried kayaks but much prefer canoes for fishing) and wading in streams. Once in a while I will fish from the shore at my local lake, but I often take the canoe out there too when I'm in the mood to rooftop it down there. it has no ramp to launch my boat and doesn't even allow electric motors.
Yumeya reply :
Boat mostly, I do wade local rivers during winter and early spring and late fall.
Goldstar225 reply :
Boat.
Crankin4Bass reply :
Kayak most of the time and occasionally from the shore.
Hawkeye21 reply :
When fishing on my own it's 90% kayak and 10% shore. If I'm going with someone else it's on their boat. Love fishing from my kayak.
WIGuide reply :
I fish from a boat about 99.99% of the time because I have that luxury. That doesn't mean I won't fish by any other means necessary, but I don't do it very often.
