What is your second favorite type of fishing?

For me it’s smallmouth bass in rivers. Going for a float in a drift boat.

Never could warm up to fly fishing

In this order:

Smallmouth fishing on the White River
Musky / Northern fishing in Wiscosin
Walleye fishing on Lake Eerie
Crappie / panfish fishing

spotted bass or smallmouth

LMB are second. Them Brown fish are first. Fly rod or conventional tackle and preferably in Ontario province Canada. Drift boats are great and even better with fly tackle.

Redfish in shallow water.

I've only done it once, but the big snook were a game changer. I couldn't believe how strong they were. My forearms were cramping up at the end of the trip.

I like wading for red's. They put up a great battle

Bluefin tuna out in the pacific

Smallmouth then largemouth.

SE Kansas grass grower

Smallmouth, but I’ve never targeted snook or reds.

Redfish are my favorite freshwater/brackishwater fish to fight. Vicious and never give up

This. Used to go to Venice, LA to chase them every year. Then kids were born....

On the lake - whites/hybrids/stripers. They are great practice for offshore fishing and are less finicky (usually) than largemouth can be. I started out initially fishing on that side of things and have made my way over to fishing for largies. Helped a lot with having confidence fishing offshore. Also, they run in schools and you usually catch a bunch out of them.
Still working on those crappie lol

I don’t have a second type of fishing. Bass only. Any 5 of the following is good...largemouth, smallmouth, or spots. Anything else is by-catch and thrown back.

Big wintertime blue catfish. Catch 5 to 15lb cats and the fight is tough not to mention the sweet fillets.

Walleye, we have a great population up here at Meredith. Nothing cleans up and eats better.
