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.
Almost all of the above, but you didn't allow an option for multiple answers.
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
90% lakes over 40,000 acres.
I fish out of all of them except huge lakes. I do just fine in my much closer lakes, rivers and ponds.
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.

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.
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.
I guess I type too slow! LOL!
I fish a series of lakes that is joined together by bayous and canals. It also has tidle flow.
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
ok then, i guess i fish small public lakes the most 8-)
I mainly fish a private pond close to my house.
Mauch Chunk Lake 339 acres, electric trolling motors only 8-)

And he fishes it from a pirogue !;D
Mostly tidal water out here on the Delta
Big lakes 500-20,000 ac (public)
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.
In my region all options are available, so I voted my preference which is river fishing.

I fish 300-500 acre lakes mainly. What is the difference between the small and medium lakes if the acreages are the same. Depth?
99% of my fishing is on a beautiful 450,000 acre public lake. Sometimes I wish it was private though.

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!
All the above.
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.
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.
small ponds, creeks, rivers and an occasional lake.
I fish tidal rivers, lakes and ponds.
Mostly farm ponds.
Yep, I fish a really big river reservoir.
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.

You think? :-?
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.
big lakes 500-20,000acres
Huge lakes 20,000+ acres
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.
Big lakes like Leech lake and Lake of the Woods
Between 250 to 1000 acres, but the 1 i fish most is around 350.
I fish a River and that is where I have the most fun and difficulty.
Great Poll!!! 8-)
Around here its small lakes and ponds. The closest lakes 1000+ acres in size are about 2 hours away.
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 .
I fish the Potomac River mostly, but sometimes small public lakes and small local ponds.
