What Kinds of Fishing Do You Do?

I use casting most, spin some, and fly occasionally.

 

No blasting. Crappie cops tend to frown on explosive fishing techniques

I mainly catch twigs and small logs. 

Spin, I fish a ton more saltwater so it’s what I’m used to, I also use bait cast a bit, and a little fly

Spin and baitcast..

I used to be a big spinning guy but suddenly I became the biggest baitcasting fan ever. I use it everywhere - for trout, bass, and even sometimes sunfish! 

Mostly spinning due to my preference for weightless plastics and finesse techniques, and living in the north where vegetation isn't typically too thick - lots of clear water ponds, quarries, and lakes for Largemouth, and rivers and creeks for Smallies. I'll use a baitcaster when necessary due to unusually thick vegetation, worming, jigging, and reaction style moving baits.

Casting only right now,

Baitcast.  Recently picked up a couple used spinning rods for finesse.

Mostly spear, some noodling, the occasional par buckle and I'm just now starting to get into ninja action.

Blasting is too messy for me, electro shocking is more effective.

Many types since I have a open mind. I do micro fishing for tiny little fish to freedive spearfishing in wrecks,reefs, and bluewater. For bass I have fished with spinning, baitcasting, fly fishing,2 foot rods, yo yo reels,etc. Wreck fishing is also fun since its a tug of war game with very powerful fish.

I watch a lot of YouTube and then pretend like I'm really smart and I'm spending that time on the water. Really, I'm on my couch where I have pretty good luck with swedish fish. 

 

Bass

Baitcast 80%

Spin 20%

 

I have a fly rod that was a gift, and only use it when I fish with the buddy who got it for me.

 

Once in a while I'll get some chicken livers and head to a private farm pond and catfish with the ole ugly stick.

 

One in a blue moon I'll throw some powerbait on the bottom and gut hook some trout for lunch.
