Other than black bass, what do like to fish for the most? 2024
Bassboss reply :
I would have to say anything in the bream or cichlid family!
Easy to catch and very spunky!
Jake. reply :
wild trout
flounder
CookieMonst3r reply :
Black Drum
Red Drum (Redfish)
T-rig reply :
Pike.
Krzkev reply :
Singlehandedly the Peacock bass, probably the best freshwater fighter out there, too bad they don't live in cooled water temps though, so everyone could experience them as well.
IDbasser reply :
Perch and crappie for me, but I have to drive quite a ways to get to some. :-/
J Francho reply :
Trout.
Tokyo Tony reply :
Fresh: smallies & peacocks
Salt: tarpon & snook
If I still lived in South Florida, largemouth fishing would probably account for about 5% of my fishing as opposed to 95% up here in the state I hate from November to February.
Still a Bigbuckifan reply :
Barramundi
I work for a guy who runs a fish farm by my house. These things are a blast to catch. There in the same family as snook and nile perch.

Muskie is what I chase when im not Bassin.
How's that peacock population doing down there.

It's a tie between bluegill on a flyrod and rock bass (goggle eye) out of the river. Or maybe crappie! Or white bass. Arghhhhh!!! Too many choices! Too little time!
bilgerat reply :
Crappie and gills on ultra lite. Nothing fights like a 1lb+ gill. They're just insane. If they could breed 5lb gills that would be awesome.
Saltwater - bluefish just for the fight, especially the little "snapper" blues on light saltwater spinning gear.
Bassin_Fin@tic reply :
Crappie, when it's time to get a proper munch on.
bass or bass ? reply :
I like to fish for largemouth #1, but also spend a lot of time fishing for stripers, channel cats and flathead cats. Caught a 25# flathead last year on a medium action baitcasting rig. WOW. Took about 20 minutes to boat it. Happy fishing.

Garnet reply :
My Fishing Season.
Jan. ice fish walleye and some lake trout/white fish. On Warmer days I Steelhead Northshore of Lake Ont.
Feb-March More Steelheading
April Perch and Crappie Mostly catch and eat.
May - June walleye popping bucktails C&R and some tournaments
Northern Pike Tournaments this is something new for me.
July - Sept Bass tournaments a good mixture of Largies and Smallies.
Oct. - Dec. Perch C&E Walleye and Steelheading some bass fishing.
Thats about my deal for the last 30 years I throw in Carb fishing and bullheads (small cats) and anyting else theres time for.
Now my Fav. is the next season so that would be ice fishing for walleye but the stealies are going good.
Garnet
secretlakes reply :
i like to catch white perch in the lagoons around my town since i live near barnegat bay. you never know what you'll pull up when you fish brackish water. the pic is a stock photo, my pics are stored in my laptop and can't get a connection right now. they are little but they fight hard, and if u find one you've found them all.
Tom Bass reply :
Bream - Bluegill, Panfish, Sunfish, etc. They are little but mighty for their size.
I've been thinking about winter Striper fishing here at night but I can't find anybody who'll bear the cold night temps with me on Lake Norman. I really don't like going out in my boat at night alone. I caught a couple this year during the day and Man, what a fight. 
BassinSoldier reply :
Love to chase bream with my 6yr old daughter. I have a 1yr. old waitin for me at home now too and shell be getting her first trip this coming spring! I sure can't wait!!! Can't beat a can o' worms, a lil ultralight, and my lil girls to keep me smilin!
jeosbo01 reply :
I'm a big fan of Sauger and Crappie, both are fun to catch and can usually be found from the shore when it is to cold for me to chase bass.
ww2farmer reply :
I bass fish exclusivly from April to November. In the winter I hit the ice for some bluegills
TrippyJai reply :
White bass is another great fish to catch.
fishinfiend reply :
redfish

Muskie as well.
FR0G reply :
Crappie, fly fishing for trout, stripers, and smallmouth. Crappie are a blast because if you catch one, you'll usually catch alot more.
Daniel My Brother reply :
Everything! We sometimes fish with live shad, cut bait and nightcrawlers in a channel off of the Mississippi and we catch a little bit of everything that swims...Usually hoping for big cats, but enjoy catching white bass, bowfin, largemouth, smallmouth, spots, carp, gar, drum, etc...

Normally I HATE catching drum, but I nailed a 23 inch one this spring at the Falls of the Ohio while fishing for sauger on ultra-lite gear and man was it ever a blast! Took me a good 15-20 minutes to play that slimy beast in 
tallydude reply :
I LOVE catching dolphin and sailfish.
DADto4 reply :
crappie and bluegill with the kids is a blast 
DADto4 reply :
another
DADto4 reply :
last one
DADto4 reply :
And I'm usually left with this ;D
So I have to brag on the kids!
Yakfish reply :
Pickerel. I was getting skunked one day this summer while my brother and a couple buddies were reeling in the LM's but the pickerel were going nuts for my top water frog so I went with it. Without a doubt the most ferocious strikes I've ever seen. Not the easiest hooksets but it was a blast watching those mean SOB's jump (reminiscent of the creatures in Tremors). I caught no bass at all that day and left with stinky, slimy hands but I think I had more fun than anyone else on the water
PondHunter reply :
Pike. Even the small ones fight better than a bass will.
shaw24 reply :
QuoteAnd I'm usually left with this ;DSo I have to brag on the kids!
That thing is huge!!!! When it gets warmer we still need to get together and do some fishing.
daviscw reply :
Catfish or spanish and king mackerel, flounder, grouper, anything offshore.
SirSnookalot reply :
I agree with the other Floridians.
For me in saltwater, it's jack, snook and tarpon.
Freshwater it's peacocks and bass are way down on my list. Bass is what I fish for when the ocean bite is off and I'm bored.
Excited to try barramundi.
Bayou Bass reply :
For freshwater I would have to say crappie (we call them sac-a-lait down here) and bream.
Most of my fishing is inshore saltwater and we go for speckled trout and redfish. Our limit is 25 specs and 5 reds so when the action is on we have a blast.
alger319 reply :
Amberjack!
Snapper!
Gators!
Maxximus Redneckus reply :
I like fishing for catfish and crappie in freshwater and croaker and rock in saltwater all within 5 mins of each other i love living on a penisula sorrounded by saltwater and so many farm ponds its paradise minus the snow and ICE
LCpointerKILLA reply :
My former saltwater location, New Smyrna Beach, makes me miss the redfish
NitroMan reply :
Blue cats!!!!
Lucky Craft Man reply :
Muskie & Fly Fishing for Trout/Steelhead
DawsonH reply :
anything that will bite on the other end of my line. Spent a lot of time last summer fishing for alligator gar. Got one about 80lbs and 5'6'' long. That puts a bow in your bass rod ;D
silvercliff_46 reply :
Bluegill and Crappie on the fly rod.
Micro reply :
Pickerel. Luv 'em.
BassnMan Mike reply :
When were not bass fishing my buddy Tom and I like to catch crappie, striped bass and native trout.
cofishingrl reply :
Lake trout. Right after ice out they're close to shore and hungry!
Cutthroat trout. They prefer high mountain lakes and streams.
Catfish. I'm surprised at how hard they fight!
BassFishingMachine reply :
I fish for a variety of fish year round, Though my top 3 favorites are Largemouth, Fluke, and Striper.
Lauren reply :
[tt]Crappie, sunfish, and bluegill![/tt]
Bernie Mac reply :
WOW...I thought this post would kinda keep going but died out, and I'm surprised know one included Salmon (any variety) By far the favorite to fish for when Bass season is closed in the fall. Here's a 36" (only one that season, limited time) when I came home for R&R from Iraq in late Oct '08
J Francho reply :
My buddies and fish for Salmon starting around mid August through October, and then browns and winter steelhead through about now. Its tough to decide whether to go catch a dozen salmon in the river, or go out for giant smallies in the fall.
mrlitetackle reply :
Thats definitely a tough one... I love fishing for redfish, but i must say i have the most fun catching large jack crevalle.
CatBassin reply :
Bream and big cats.
jeosbo01 reply :
This weeks winner is tasty, tasty CRAPPIE!
