hard to pic just 3 i chose lakers perch and pike, but i really do like to fish for crappie salmon  and trouts.what i fish for really depends on what time of the winter it is and what lakes are frozen.usually my first ice spots are for trouts salmon or pike then when the big lake freezes i fish for perch pike and lakers. late ice,when the big lake is unsafe i move to a smaller lake to fish crappies and pike

I really thought lake trout would have hight numbers than it does right now.
Title: Re: IS Members Favorite Fish Poll
Post by: bart on Sep 18, 2011, 04:09 PM
My favorite, the Crappie even though I'm hoping the Walleye will move up on my favorites list eventually.

For those of you who picked other.....What is the"other" fish you like to go for?
Title: Re: IS Members Favorite Fish Poll
Post by: Rebelss on Sep 18, 2011, 08:08 PM
Perch in the lead?! They just keep snitchin' my bait for Northerns!!!!  >:(

For those of you who picked other.....What is the"other" fish you like to go for?
Possibly multiple "Other" could be   1. Channel Cats
                                                        2. White Fish (Lake)
                                                        3. Kokanee  (Blueback) But Trout or Salmon cover these, though very different.
                                                        4. Other


Lots of people catch lots of those three. But, no squawk here ~ Just trin' to help and in that light, the Poll could be modified by the Author, which will open another can-o-worms, ha.

Title: Re: IS Members Favorite Fish Poll
Post by: graybeard on Sep 20, 2011, 03:04 PM
I had to pick bluegill/sunfish and crappie cause that's about all we've got in the waters I fish.(Not complaining, I love 'em) I also picked "other", although I really don't target catfish, a 5 or 6 lber is a lot of fun on a panfish pole.  I love perch also, but I only get to a good perch lake once every few years.
Title: Re: IS Members Favorite Fish Poll
Post by: adkRoy on Sep 20, 2011, 07:13 PM
looks like crappie is catching up to the perch!
Title: Re: IS Members Favorite Fish Poll
Post by: Handy on Sep 20, 2011, 07:37 PM
My votes go for crappie, bluegill and perch. But I am willing to catch whatever bites when fishing!

Post by: Eggemoggin on Sep 21, 2011, 07:16 PM
My choices were brook trout, brown trout and my "other" is salt water smelts.      :icefish:

Lake Sturgeon.  They are only available for 2 weeks (or less) in February, and spearing is the only way to take them.  It's a huge deal around here.

Had a feeling the Laker guys would show up !  :thumbsup:
Title: Re: IS Members Favorite Fish Poll
Post by: SPADED on Sep 22, 2011, 10:55 PM
i had to vote for crappie right off the bat... they are fun,taste great,bountiful in many ponds and reservoirs around here...and when i take my little brother fishing they never disappoint,ready and willing to bite and put up a fight. second fav is bluegill,only because it can be a challenge when they want to get finicky and you really have to finesse them into biting.. third went to the ol trout! i have loved stream fishing trout for years since i was young and i can pull the stockies out of a local pond left and right,way easier then a trout stream..

I think you need to really up-size your northern bait if da perch are stealing it.  ;)

Looks like Crappie might just run away with it !

Title: Re: IS Members Favorite Fish Poll
Post by: fish-e on Sep 24, 2011, 10:28 AM
My choice was perch because this is mostly what I catch.  Easy to find, catch, and can keep you busy some days.  I would like to try for whitefish, and pickerel this year.
Title: Re: IS Members Favorite Fish Poll

Pickerel fishing can be very exciting with lots of flags. Its fun to take little kids and newbies icefishing for pickerel.

you spear sturgeon? do you eat them?  ???
Title: Re: IS Members Favorite Fish Poll

I will if I ever spear one.  The average is only about 8% success rate, so it takes a lot of years of looking down the hole before one shows itself.

Title: Re: IS Members Favorite Fish Poll
Post by: Garnet on Sep 29, 2011, 11:10 AM
my other was for gators (pickeral).....not so much that i fish for them a lot, it's that they're animals and eat what ever you put down there, so catch them the most.  good target when nothing else is biting. 
Title: Re: IS Members Favorite Fish Poll
Post by: hoghammer on Sep 29, 2011, 11:19 AM
my other is for channel cats, its fun catching 20 - 30 lb channels on a regular basis. I am lucky that I can catch trophy cats 15 minutes from home ( Red River ) trophy walleyes 15 minutes from home (Red River and Lake Winnipeg) and have a perch factory 30 minutes from home (Lake Manitoba)
