I know this is an ice fishing site, but here in Ohio we have different fishing seasons. I was wondering what everyone's favorite way of fishing is?  As much as I love to ice fish, my favorite is bass fishing in my bass boat.

All jokes aside there's nothing like watching the fish on the screen and getting it to attack your  lure . With or without whiskers .

Ice fishing is my passion. If we had 5 months of ice, I don't know if I would even own a boat.

I love ice fishing. I think its only good because of the short time we get to do it. Ex. snowmobiling lol

I rarely soft water fish. Im a hard water fisherman all the way. I rather spend my free time in the summer working on my hard water gear then go soft water fishing.

Ice Fishing,

its a social way to fish.
more buds more brews more stogies.
and for me, usually more fish.

and a side note.

A beer while ice fishing tastes better than any other beer in the world.

of course i only fish farm ponds but its not fishing without a case of blue lights spilled out on the ice.

For me it's much like hunting,I fish or hunt with what ever method is available at the time,Please don't make me pick,haha That being said I have compiled a lot of ice fishing gear if it wasn't for the boats(plural) I would probly have more invested in ice gear.

I'm not sure if it's because we don't get a lot of time on the hard water in general or if it's the fact I can sit right over top of them, hopefully, see them on my electronics and try to make them eat.

ICE!!!

Definately icefishing for me, but the other types are all enjoyable too.  I have never tried kayak fishing, but would love to do it sometime.

I love to do it all but as of last year I have started kayak fishing and love it and it can be a pain at times just like any other fishing or sport that perople do.
