who out there is a 1 species kind of fisherman and who likes to fish for everything?

razzledazzle · « **Reply #1 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 07:42 AM »

Mostly one species for me...I usually only target Yellow Perch but will occasionally set a few tip ups for salmonids.

Equal opportunity fisherman here

Perch, crappies, and gills jigging most of the time but I almost always have some tip-ups out with a variety of bait for trout, bass, pike etc.

Don't really mind what I catch.

We mostly fish for perch. Once in awhile we'll try tip ups for Northerns. We have caught a couple of sunfish, blue gills, and a bull pout through the ice. I do enjoy a Northern on a jig stick, lots of fun!

I like to fish for anything panfish, perch, northerns, walleyes. Theres nothin like two five gallon pales of yellow belly slab perch, or having dozens of flags in a day. It all gets my blood pumpin like nothin else!!

WildFisherWomanVT · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 01:03 PM »

Pike. Very big pike.

bencayer · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 01:34 PM »

perch, gills, sunnies, crappies, walleyes and bass for me. i mostly like jiggin, but ocasionally ill set some tip-ups out. no where to get bait right near me, so i generally dont do the tip-up thing.

sanman · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 02:23 PM »

i only targeted perch ice fishing up until last year, then i was introduced to tip-up fishing, this year i want to do salmonids and pike too, walleye if im in the right area...or anything else that'll bite

TRT · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 02:25 PM »

Lots of species BT, RT, LLS & LT an occasional perch

Fishnaddict · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 02:37 PM »

I fish for multiple species I think its boring going after the same fish each year. My fav. is walleye, pike and lakers but try to fish for something different once a month for fun.

nocod · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 02:41 PM »

early season is perch,later in the season whitefish and lake trout is out in deeper water thats where you find me.

grampieshanty · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 03:42 PM »

Mainly trout, but like catching anything

FondoFishin · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 06:23 PM »

All pike, all the time. Its a sickness.

Reel Nurse · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 07:27 PM »

Love to fish all species and like to fish in lots of different places. I think one of the most exciting things about ice fishing is the mystery of the hole and that first glimpse you get of the fish. So far I've brought up Northerns, Crappie, small and large mouth bass and perch. Would like to catch a walleye and lake trout this year.

I've kind of come full circle. Started out when I was young jigging perch and smelt, then was into tips ups for walleyes, lakers, pike in my twenties and thirties. Now that I'm older I let my 12 year old son chase the flags and I find myself enjoying jigging more. Just starting to learn the "sunnie" fishing thing which is fun, though I'm not very good at it. Guess I need a new toy and will have to get a flasher.
