Fish for bass, walleye, salmon, muskie and pike throughout the year. The season kinda determines what I'll be fishing for. If I only targeted one specie I'd burn out on fishing. Throughout the year I easily spent the most time bass fishing both smallies and largemouth. Really like spring river walleye fishing. Ice fishing for pike, not a huge fan of this but like that this is the time of year to catch a real bruiser and my son really likes to do this. Salmon from shore in the fall. Muskie a few times a year in the summer. Panfish are really the only fish I don't get real excited about.
Bass - you can catch a ton, they hit topwater and are just fun as all heck to catch.
Walleye- taste good and theres just something about that tick on your jig.
Salmon- awsome smoked and thier fight is unreal. Wish they were more accessible from shore throughout the year.
Pike- the small ones are peskie but the big ones(20 plus lbers)I put in the same catagory as muskie. Thier rare and catching one gives you a feeling of accomplishment.
Muskie- only fish that has ever made my knees get week. If I could get away from bass in the summer I'd spend a lot more time muskie fishing.
