Good on ya mate. Too cold to fish the rivers where I am. The close ones haven't iced over yet, but I hate the line getting stuck to the guides all the time. And there's the bushwacking river banks in the snow to get to the river part. And I dislike ice fishing up in the mountains immensely. Hopefully there'll be a break in the weather here soon.
 
Did a charter up at the beach just after Xmas, good haul. That's 10 Whiting (best eating fish down here IMO), 2 flathead (up there also) and a snapper, ate great for the next day and a bit that's for sure.

So, I went fishing the other day, and it was a disaster. I picked a lure like I was dressing up for a fish prom. Spent hours waiting, but the fish were probably watching Netflix.

I hooked a seaweed bouquet, got more knots in my line than a bad relationship, and caught a fish 'this big'—if you believe my exaggerated hand gestures. The only trophy I got was sunburn.

But hey, fishing's like dating. You try your best, but sometimes you end up with a seaweed bouquet instead of a catch of the day. And that's when you realize fishing is just an excuse for a lakeside nap. Thank you, and let's hope my dating life isn't as cringy as my fishing trip!

Yes-sir-ee, an ice shack, electric auger and a snowmobile would make the whole experience a little different from my times of walking on the ice and eating shit while dragging a sled with my fishing gear and hand auger. A lot different really. But no money for that carry-on after paying for my other hobbies.

I iced fished only once. We caught a lot of nice brook trout and I liked the experience, but never did it again. It's not for me.

I like being on a lake, chilling, throwing my lures around, drinking a cold beer and hoping a fish will bite. It's so Zen.

I live in Québec so I have to wait until May to do that again. Winter fucking sucks. Throw a few lures for me sherbros who can and post your fishing adventures to get me through Winter.
 
Just released a bunch more murray cod and silver perch n blue claw yabbies into the dams. ( separate dams because murray cods are pricks lol)

Where you at? It's funny because I have only 2 weeks left to fish here in Québec and then it will close until the beginning of May. I'll only be allowed to fish for carp and catfish until then.

We've had a mild winter and I can fish from shore in March this year. The water is at 2.5 Celsius (36 Fahrenheit) though and the fish isn't active. It still feels good to fish and relax on the shore. I can't wait until May for these fat walleyes.

Tight lines, sherbros.

I'm in Maryland off of the Chesapeake Bay. I go out to western Maryland for trout season because they have some of the biggest trout stocks on the east coast. Got some good Walleye too! Mostly just do rockfish, catfish, and crabbing here at home though.

Would love to come up North for some angling action. Got a cousin who goes up there for work and says there's good hunting/fishing culture. Shit is regulated to hell down here. Game Wardens treat you like fucking criminals.
