Do you just fish all year whenever time allows, or do you have a yearly "season" where you have an opening day and an official end of your year?
For example, I am basically March 1 - November 1 each year. It has the benefit of prepping for it each winter and being able to compare each season against each other.

I'm the same. March to when the weather gets chilly. Favorite time is early morning. A couple hours before sunrise. Leaving around 10-11am.

I haven't fished winter since I don't know when. I'm more into hunting this time of year.

What is this “winter” you speak of?

Yes...Sunfish & Bass April to October...Bass October to April...

I only fish between January 1 and December 31.

Definitely for me. When dove season starts through deer season, I am in the blind 90% of the time vs. fishing.

I fish year round, I couldn't live in an area where I couldn't drop in my boat at least 2-3 weeks a month.


PS: Even though I have, I picked up ice fishing. AAHHAHAHA

year round, hunting & money only slows me down.

Yep, ice fishing is not my cup o' tea.

I fish all year. I have caught some of my biggest fish in the winter when the crowds are gone. However, October and June are some of my favorite months.

Same here. I love October and April.

year round...and in flip-flops... granted, I do have a pair of socks in a compartment for "cold" days...as long as the water is not frozen, I fish...

I fish year around. I do have certain times of the year when certain species of fish I target bite the best and I will concentrate on them. For the most part is just yearly from 01-01-24 to 01-01-25.

All year. As much as I love the salt water, I miss the annual white bass run. Hitting the creeks with the 2 weight and the half weight and catching a bunch of fat females is an absolute hoot. When I was up in New Caney and focused more on fresh water I really enjoyed winter bass fishing; that’s when I caught the most 8+ pound bass of the year. Even up in Galveston, Matagorda, St. Charles, and Aransas bays, fishing was good in the winter. Down here it’s even better.

I average 2 trips a week year round.

I thought you were talking about an actual fishing season.
I know many years ago they had a season for bass fishing in Pennsylvania.

I fish all year; fresh & salt water. My favorite time for fresh water is Jan thru April. After April, I start focusing on salt water and my favorite time is Sep thru Nov. I live in Houston and I blessed to have both bodies of water near me.

Kinda like my bud, Jim Ford said, Winter? I lived in the Caribbean for 25 years, and the visitors would ask if we had seasons? I'd say, "Yes, two. Tourist and Hurricane!" Now that I'm on the Texas Riviera, there's Cold Season, usually a week or two in February, and Fishing Season. If it's not blowing, raining or too foggy or cold, it's a fishing day.

I fish year round... As long as they're calling for a high temps above 35* and no rain I'll go out for at least a little while... Dan

This time of year, I like to fly fish for trout. Not so much the stockers TPWD sticks in area lakes, but more like the ones at Beavers Bend and streams in Arkansas. I love to fly fish in Colorado rivers and streams in the summertime.

Over the past year, I’ve gotten into crappie fishing, so mid-February into early March, that keeps me occupied. Tossing baits at bass fills in the rest of the year.

I’m not a seasonal fisherman, but I target different species depending on what season it is.

Year 'round but the type fishing I do changes depending on many factors.

Growing up, I was under the impression that you couldn't catch fish when it was cold, so I only fished for March/April until whenever we got that first round of cold snaps and the bluegill in the creeks stopped biting/moved out. I realized eventually that I had it all wrong, and now I fish all year.

I have lots of people tell me fish won’t bite when it is cold. I know some of you might disagree.

I don’t fish much october-january. I guess the rest of the year would be fishing season. Don’t get me wrong the fishing is great during that time of the year I just prefer to hunt. February kinda sucks, March isn’t particularly great either. April-September would be my “season”.

365

I will fish a little less from now till spring ,

I need to work on my open water winter time crappie fishing.

MO

Bass from December to May.
Sharks from June to September
College Football Sept to Dec

365 days a year!!! It's always fishing season!!

Jan 1 thru Dec 31 weather permitting is my "season".

Jan 1 - Dec 31. Not only do I enjoy fishing. I also enjoy catching as well. Both are enjoyable to me.

Favorite time to fish is when surface temps are 60 and falling which normally begins with the second cold front in November. Dead stick " junkie " !!!! A lot less boat traffic !

Isn't fishing season sort of like grilling season or bbqing season?
This is Texas
