OT: Fishing Thread

[Hunter368]

Starting a fishing thread. Myself and my kids all enjoy fishing so I thought I would create a thread to discuss our favourite fishing spots and stories.

Let’s start

So, where do you fish ???

 

[Gotaf7]

I fish Big Windy 2-3 days a week, this winter has been absolutely stellar for fish in the 17”-20” class. We have been getting at least 1 fish a day over 28” I personally have 5 masters this hard water season. The Whiteshell crappie bite has been a bit of a grind this winter, on them one day and off the next it should pick up and become more predictable as we get closer to spring.

I've fished for as long as I can remember. Species most often targeted is walleye... for both challenge and taste.

Bought my own fishing boat 6 or 7 years ago and almost exclusively fish the Winnipeg River system in Ontario (Kenora area). JETS CONNECTION: I had a nice long chat with Chevy one day at the Lund dealership where I bought my boat.

Caught my personal best on opening day back in 2018 (below pic). Now that was a really good day! JETS CONNECTION: The following day was a really bad day... Vegas knocked us out of the WCF!

Hmmm... Power lines in the background.... Powderpuff?

I'm not giving away my good spots on a public forum! (Powderpuff is only about 5 minutes away... )

Love fishing and spend a lot of time out on the lakes ever since I was a kid. The Duck and Porcupine Mountain Provincial Parks are the best. Walleye, trout, whitefish, Arctic char, perch and trophy size northern pike and muskies. All this within just a short drive from each other.

You have to crop the background from the fish pictures

Let’s start

Are you Buff?

I actually thought fishing was in my rear view mirror when I moved to SoCal but they stock a couple of lakes close to me (man made water reservoirs) and you can catch some pretty nice trout, bass & carp. And there is always the ocean but i haven't taken advantage of that.

 

[SUX2BU]

Places I been to during my college days, caught a few hangovers too ......

Clearwater (North of The Pas) - caught lake trout

Flin Flon (Lake Atkapapushow) - caught northern pike

Paint Lake (not far from Thompson) - caught walleye

 

[DashingDane]

Grew up fresh water fishing in Denmark. Mostly for perch and northern pike. Such a big part of my youth I had a pike tattooed on my arm.

Best fishing trip was Cabo San Lucas where I pulled up 4 striped marlin in one day!

 

[DashingDane]

Would love to go fishing in Canada!!

There are some fun one day trips from the port of Long Beach that you should take advantage of! The salt water fishing here is pretty incredible (at least compared to the cod and herring I was use to ).

 

[GrassyKnoll]

Hey, I'm just sayin'...

 

[Ducky10]

So, where do you fish ???

Usually the water....

 

[SUX2BU]

Sigh, I asked for that .......

 

[Ducky10]

Me fishing

I go for the beer and shore lunches.

 

[Neuf]

I usually go pretty remote for ice fishing. Trying to do some easier access lakes this year, but getting skunked the other day was no fun.

 

[Hunter368]

I'm always looking for kid friendly fishing spots (ie not dangerous spots), not requiring a boat and within 90 mins of Winnipeg. Don't care what kind of fish we catch, we only catch & release.

 

[jefferoni]

FWIW I firmly believe fishing is one of the best ways to bond with your kids, and it comes with the added bonus of teaching them about nature and the importance of its conservation. My wife and I took our son on family fishing trips when he was growing up and he now looks forward to going fishing with us every time he comes home for a summer break from his ridiculously hectic lifestyle in Silicon Valley. Good times indeed...

 

[SimpleSimon]

Trawling on Lake St. George. The amount of pickerel(walleye) I caught was epic. The small mouth bass across the road at lake St. Andrew are great fighters.

 

[SimpleSimon]

Would love to go fishing in Canada!!

Would love to go warm up in California.

Coming from a split family with many issues including achohal issues with my father.......many difficult memories of him.....but the positives ones all revolve around hockey & fishing with him.

Red River. Don't go during high water as it's flowing faster, but during summer the river South of the city has good shore fishing and tons of species

Yup all the places I go are rivers, the Red, Nettle Creek, etc. Would like to find some more places and a lake or two.
