The Type of Water I usually Fish is.. 2024


fishing user avatarDane reply : 

This should give a good understanding of what type of water most people fish. Also will be good to know who else fishes the same type of water.

Mark me down for small pond!


fishing user avatar5bass reply : 

This should be interesting.I'm down for a man made lake over 6,000 acres.


fishing user avatarBrian_Reeves reply : 

I clicked the wrong one.  I picked large natural but it should have been large man made  :(


fishing user avatarSyfer420 reply : 

I couldnt funtion normally without my little pond around the corner from my house. I love the fishing, the location, and the people are great too, they rush up and tell you what a great catch it ia even when it's a dink!!!


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

Larger Man-Made >200,000 surface acres, 65 miles long, 2 miles wide, 1,200 miles of shore line & average depths of over 45'.  Toledo Bend Reservoir


fishing user avatarBadKarma42 reply : 

Stuck with small pond with the occasional visit to a small "lake."  :(


fishing user avatarGotta Love It reply :

fishing user avatarJall65 reply : 

Larger Man-Made 69,100 acres , 75 miles long  Guntersville, Alabama


fishing user avatarskiftcky reply : 

I just left one of the best Bass fishing spots in the country. I usually fished Kentucky and Barkley lakes on the Tennessee side. I will admit though, I will not pass up a chance to hit smaller lakes and ponds for those big fish. Now I'm fishing Tuttle Creek and Milford in Kansas


fishing user avatarRattlinrogue reply : 

I mainly fish a 300 acre man-made lake.Also fish a few 100+ acre lakes,and when I get a chance,I fish some small and medium ponds.I like to float a few local rivers this time of year throwing small white spinnerbaits(H & H is my favorite).Usually catch a ton of bass while floating rivers,but they're all pretty small.Lots of action,though!


fishing user avatarfishinyank reply : 

I fish a 308 acre man made as well as a river (the ol' susquehanna) for the majority of my time on the water. I will occasionally hit a few 5-10 acre ponds and small creeks just to mix it up. I like to get to large lakes when I can, like Onieda, Cayuga, etc.


fishing user avatarRoLo reply : 

I live on a 7,500-acre natural lake (Lake walk-in-water, FL).

Though I probably do most of my fishing there, I also fish lakes & rivers

of various sizes in numerous other locations (freshwater & saltwater).

fishing user avatarbasser89 reply : 

I went with a medium pond since this is where I spent most of my time so far this year fishing. I do switch up and fish a couple small man-made lakes (505 acres and smaller ones) as well as a couple rivers too in MD and PA.


fishing user avatarGatorbassman reply : 

I need an "All of the Above" to click on. I fish them all. If it holds water and bass I am there.


fishing user avatarTroutfisher reply : 

I'm a small ponds and streams person. 97% of my fishing is done in these places.

Yet, even small ponds and streams can bring in fish!

fishing user avatarFish Chris reply : 

I couldn't really pick just one. You should have included an "all of the above option". Plus, you forgot to put a "Saltwater" and a "brackish water" option, both of which I also regularly fish.......

fishing user avatarKYbass1276 reply : 

You guys would laugh at the waters I fish but not having a boat yet I'm stuck beating the banks for my bass.  I used to fish one that literaly looks like a mud puddle compared to the ones you fish. I stopped fishing it because I really didn't think it was fair to the fish  I will go out and take pictures in the next day or so and post them them you will understand what I mean by not being fair to the fish.  But I do have others I fish that range from 1 to 2 acres


fishing user avatarguest reply : 

My home lake is a 125 acre man made.

Virtually all of my fishing is done their with and occasional foray to larger bass waters and the brackish snook, redfish etc. intercoastal waterway.


fishing user avatarflyphisher # reply : 

Would have to say all of the above Man-made lakes and ponds......and the rivers that lead into them when needed.


fishing user avatarfishingJ reply : 

I fish small ponds and rivers probably about equally I do catch more fish in the ponds. I have to say I'm surprised that small ponds are in the lead.


fishing user avatarsenile1 reply : 

I usually fish 7200 acre Smithville Lake which is a man-made reservoir north of Kansas City.  However, I also fish some ponds and small lakes quite often, as well as Truman Reservoir which is 55,000 acres.  Smithville is the closest to my home, so I fish there the most.


fishing user avatarKeithscatch reply : 

I now fish the Stick Marsh/Farm 13 mostly which is I believe +- 7,000 acres. It is a man made lake. I have also fished allot of natural lakes here in Florida. Most are natural and vary in sizes from a few acres to the largest lake contained entirely in the US the Big O. Though I have never fished it. So I can't count that one.


fishing user avatarSPEEDBEAD. reply : 

Small ponds during the week, small lakes on the weekends...


fishing user avatarCaptain Cali reply : 

Both lakes I fish right now are man made. About 200 and 2300 surface acres respectively.


fishing user avatarTheresamarie1 reply : 

Wow, I'm surprised I'm in the minority here.    We fish Lake Champlain which is huge compared most other choices.    Lake Champlain is approximately 600 square miles (384,000 acres).  :o :o

I'm wondering if we should vist some of the smaller lakes around here.  


fishing user avatarVorlin reply : 

I'm almost evenly split between river, small man made lake and small man made pond. However, the river is where I'll do an all day trip while the others are only a few hours each.

How about a pole on water type?

Still (lake or pond) and murky with heavy vegitation

Still (lake or pond) and murky with light vegitation

Still and clear with heavy vegitation

Still and clear with light vegitation

Slow and murky

Fast and murky

Slow and clear

Fast and clear

Brakish river

Tidal

I think that may have a lot more to do with choices in tactics because of the way the sun affects each differently, current breaks, visibility, staying downstream of the target, etc....

fishing user avatarMurray reply : 

120acre private pond


fishing user avatarsirmo reply : 

Brackish river for me

St. Johns


fishing user avatar.ghoti. reply : 

The type of water I fish is WET

medium pond


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

Most of the lakes around me are between 1 acre and 170 acres.  The closest big lake would have to be Mark Twain and that's about a 2 hour drive, longer in traffic.


fishing user avatarBucketmouthAngler13 reply : 

i usualy fish a small pond and a small natural lake that is 24 acres
