If I lived in a country where I let them take my guns and couldn't hunt with a bow, I'd fish, too. ??? I fish whenever I'm not hunting, saltwater and freshwater. Let's see some pictures of the boat.

I'm lucky to live in one of the best fishing areas in the world. Right now sockeyes, cohos, and chinook salmon are running, but you can fish for cod, halibut, and other things all year round.
We 're going to hopefully get sockeyes tommorow, but I always bring my saw too! We'll be near one of my favourite yew spots

I'm just a muddy water Catfisherman. From 6" long to 60+ lbs if it's got time to stretch my line I got time to reel it in.

Been spending most of my time on the lakes catching Channel Cats this summer 1-6 lbs. on average.

Have wanted to target some big Blues on the river but water has been low and the Railroad has made it impossible to access some of the best holes without being socked with a trespassing charge.

Right now Bass & Walleyes are plentiful here in Michigan, but the Salmon are really going. Take Your pick - Kings, Silvers, Atlantics and Pinks - it's hot now, plus the Steelhead & Browns.

I go through some hard fishing times, followed by not so much. It has been really hot, and I hate hot. I generally fish about 3 days a week. We have a lot of little ponds close by that are chock full of all types of fish.

Why choose do both!!!!!! my favorite rod is a Bear Grizzly and AMS reel Innerlock hooks errrr grapple points I mean. Best part is I never dig bait and they have no choice but to bite. Second best part I'm fishing and practicing all kinds of crazy shot angles.

Zuma, these are Bigheads they won't jump ( unless they have been impaled)  >:D We have silvers here too, they will beat a boat apart. They hurt a few people here every summer. I shot two last week about the size in that pic you posted, of course I was by myself and they got off right at the boat ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Bowslayer, I know you can't bow hunt across the pond, but what do the rules say about poking the Queens carp?

I think if it is in a canal and you have permission from the owner of that stretch you can take what you catch. I know a place on a canal that is good for carp, pike, perch.... all sorts. my boat is nearly done, just needs some paint. ill have some pics up ASAP.

Nice fish guys!

One of the +'s in our move from northern IL to MO is the close avail of good smallie fishing.  I'm also becoming a creek fisherman because of the variety of fishes I can have fun with.
One of the -'s of our move is having to begin over in making contacts with the local pond owners.

Fishing is my all time favorite thing to do.
I've made stone hooks and caught fish with them
