Who Else Is Fishing Today??

[HuskerHens18]

After all the whacked out weather the last two months, I have FINALLY got the tackle boxes and poles out.
Last night I was up until 1am gathering about 50 worms. Today I'm heading to the river to begin my fishing season!
Who else is excited for fishing? What's your favorite things to catch?

Lucky, last trout I caught were last May. A little rainbow trout out of Horse Thief Lake in SD. They were fun though

Ya I've probably caught 200 plus fish this year already mostly cutthroats,rainbows,browns,whitefish,and kokanee salmon

We are mainly salt water fishing in this neck of the woods (New Orleans) the lake near the house is messed up right now, because we had to open the spillway due to high Mississippi River. All that fresh water went into the lake and made it a mess, so no fishing on the seawall for me for a while. I miss it, very relaxing to sit on the lake in the evening hoping for a big red fish or drum or sheepshead to come by.

I'm sad to say I've never been salt water fishing, I'd love to though. We do catch quite a few drum up here on the Missouri River, at least that's what we call them. I've recently discovered us fishermen up here call them whatever we want. There's these little silver fish with fangs we catch and everyone calls them Skipjacks, well I googled it and no, they're called Moonfish
That sucks about your lake, I'd be heartbroken

Most of the kokannee and rainbows we eat.

Of course we eat them, we also get blue crabs in Aug and Sept. Boil and eat those as well.

Oh thanks, but this has happened before and lake comes back just fine, have to wait a little while though.
