What are your preferred method of getting fish?

What is your preferred technique catching fish? (general topic because it encompasses more than one sub topic)

Jigging or slip bobber.

[gmcmax05]

I usually only fish for Walleye so I jig with a minnow, or troll with a bottom bouncer.

[Twisted Canuck]

I like to sit back with a beer in the fighting chair while some crew bait, cast and tend to things. Then after she's all hooked up nice, I like to reel them in. Ah, the good life.

Buzz Bomb for lakers, wedding band with a maggot for kokanees, five of diamonds or mepps for Bow river browns. Bumble bee on a fly rod for all of the above.

All of the above - depends what my target species is, what type of water we are fishing, etc..

I've never tried noodling ......... could be fun ......

Just fishing,

My Alumacraft with me in it, tossing Rapalas into the shallows, jigging, trolling spoons. Life is great.

Bait fishing in a major river system. The aspect of never knowing what you may hook into is what I like.... Is it a pike? Walleye? Burb? Goldeye? Mooneye? Sauger? Sturgeon ? Is it one of several types of sucker? Guess I'll reel it in and see what I got......pickerel rig with a minnow on top and a worm on the bottom is going to catch every species in the river.

For me, nothing better than over the side, jig with a minnow, straight down. Wait for the nibble. Favorite way to fish Walleye.

Lindy rigging with a leech is a close second.

I love the slip bobber action over a pile of active walleye. However downrigging a clear BC lake with a chance to pull out a monster has to be slightly more exciting for me.
I'm pretty well rounded. Love to float the Bow with a flyrod, adapting to new lakes such as Wabasca, finding structure in a reservoir... It's all good!!!

[Remihunter]

Tough to pick just one, different species require different technique so depends.

I have about 3 species that I concentrate on fishing at different times and depending on time of year that's my favourite. Throw in the other half dozen species a guy chases and well,, you get the picture.

I think if someone has a preferred type or species and concentrates on that species they are robbing themselves of some experiences. The more diverse one is in species and method it only broadens your knowledge of fishing in general and as such your success.

I totally agree

[FlyTheory]

Looks like it always comes down to fly vs bait

[genno]

Trolling with crank baits for walleye and pike

Nothing beats top water. Be it fly fishing with dry flies going for some form of trout, or throwing plastic frogs into the weeds looking for gators nothing gets the heart racing like seeing your lure/fly disappear in the big swirl of mouth and fins.
