What water do you fish? 2024


fishing user avatar5bass reply : 

Just trying to get a decent reading on what type of water everyone is fishing. I hear reports of people catching from small ponds, lakes, creeks, etc....and wondering if one type is more popular than the other.


fishing user avatarLong Mike reply : 

Almost all of the above, but you didn't allow an option for multiple answers.


fishing user avatar.dsaavedra. reply : 

i checked other because i fish out of private ponds that are maybe an acre big, public lakes that are something like 375 acres, and the potomac river and the creeks that feed into it.

you should have enabled multi-vote on this poll ;)


fishing user avatarfishfordollars reply : 

90% lakes over 40,000 acres.


fishing user avatarbillbrum reply : 

I fish out of all of them except huge lakes. I do just fine in my much closer lakes, rivers and ponds.


fishing user avatarGitRDoneIke23 reply : 

Till I get my drivers liscense, I fish a private pond near my house. And every once in a while we'll fish at other private ponds. I also fish a creek close to my house. Once I get my lisence I'll be fishing Rayburn, T Bend, Conroe, and Fayette County.

fishing user avatar5bass reply : 

I didn't enable the multiple votes on purpose. I want to know what each individual fishes the most, not every spot they fish.  ;)  So if you fish the local private pond thru the week 3 times and make a trip to the big lake on the weekend, the pond gets the vote.


fishing user avatarbasser89 reply : 

Yeah, a multiple vote would have been good for me too. I'm all over the place as far as waters I fish. Its a toss up as far as what water I hit the most. Lunch time (almost daily) I hit a 505 acre lake by work, on the way home from work I might either fish a small public pond or the upper Potomac.


fishing user avatarbasser89 reply : 

I guess I type too slow! LOL!


fishing user avatarMARSH MASTER reply : 

I fish a series of lakes that is joined together by bayous and canals. It also has tidle flow.


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

I fish it all  ;)

Small ponds of a couple of acres

Shallow marshes & swamps

Creeks & rivers

Natural lakes & manmade reservoirs from 10,000 acres to my favorite which is over 190,000 acres


fishing user avatar.dsaavedra. reply : 

ok then, i guess i fish small public lakes the most  8-)


fishing user avatarfishinfiend reply : 

I mainly fish a private pond close to my house.


fishing user avatarMuddy reply : 

Mauch Chunk Lake 339 acres, electric trolling motors only 8-)

fishing user avatarjrhennecke reply : 

Mostly tidal water out here on the Delta


fishing user avatarJimzee reply : 

Big lakes 500-20,000 ac (public)


fishing user avatar5bass reply : 

Wow, I thought we had more fisherman on this site. So far there are 110 views of this thread and only 20 people have voted.  ;)


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

In my region all options are available, so I voted my preference which is river fishing.

8-)


fishing user avatarfirefightn15 reply : 

I fish 300-500 acre lakes mainly. What is the difference between the small and medium lakes if the acreages are the same. Depth?


fishing user avatarMALTESE FALCON reply : 

99% of my fishing is on a beautiful 450,000 acre public lake. Sometimes I wish it was private though.

fishing user avatarNewman12Fan reply : 

During the week I fish a 14 acre retention lake less then 1 mile from my house.  On the weekends I fish a 50 acre and 10 acre private lake at the campground I have a permanent spot at.  I just got a new site this weekend on the big lake, so as soon as I get a boat, I will only fish that lake on the weekends!


fishing user avatarring fry reply : 

All the above.


fishing user avatarAaron reply : 

I fish the big waters of KY and Barkley lake almost exclusively, although it is tough sometimes when confined to the banks.

I don't have access to any private water but I do fish some small ponds in the Land Between the Lakes occasionally.

I hope to see everyone at KY lake in the spring.


fishing user avatardodgeguy reply : 

i fish ny city water supply reservirs for the most part.they are from 600 to 1600 acres for the most part.i still love fishing small ponds but that's only when my time is limited.


fishing user avatarMovarus reply : 

small ponds, creeks, rivers and an occasional lake.


fishing user avatarrondef reply : 

I fish tidal rivers, lakes and ponds.


fishing user avatardaviscw reply : 

Mostly farm ponds.

:)


fishing user avatarCJ reply : 

Yep, I fish a really big river reservoir.


fishing user avatarBass XL reply : 

Most of the time I'm fishing a medium private lake (4-5 times a week). My grandparents live on one and that's where I practice, learn new techniques, and occasionally guide. All of my tournaments on the other hand are on big reservoirs like Table Rock, Truman, Lake of the Ozarks, etc.

fishing user avatarPaul Roberts reply : 

Why are small and medium lakes given the same acreage (50-500)?

I just made a mistake when I posted the poll. It's fixed now....you should be able to choose more accurately now.


fishing user avatarKy_Lake_Dude reply : 

big lakes 500-20,000acres

Huge lakes 20,000+ acres


fishing user avatarthetr20one reply : 

I fish Lakes from 200 or so to Lake Erie alot. We have a lot of different type lakes here. From deep and rocky to shallow and weedy. Ohio really has good fisheries.


fishing user avatarB-o-b reply : 

Big lakes like Leech lake and Lake of the Woods


fishing user avatardetroit1 reply : 

Between 250 to 1000 acres, but the 1 i fish most is around 350.


fishing user avatarNitroMan reply : 

I fish a River and that is where I have the most fun and difficulty.

Great Poll!!! 8-)


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

Around here its small lakes and ponds.  The closest lakes 1000+ acres in size are about 2 hours away.


fishing user avatarTom H. reply : 

Man thats a tough one to answer - I rotate my fishing holes daily - from small ponds to small lakes to the river - Makes it nice to be able to change things up all the time .


fishing user avatarBassinWill301 reply : 

I fish the Potomac River mostly, but sometimes small public lakes and small local ponds.
