My big summertime activity is fishing. Once I hang up the skis, the waders come out for spring trout fishing. I'm lucky to have a gold medal trout steam that runs right through my property, but I also love to move around my area (foothills of the Catskills) and fishing on rarely fished streams. I'm not fussy...I'll fly fish when I can but have no problems picking up an ultralight spinning rig to bag a few nice browns or brookies.
In late spring I move onto the NYC watershed for lake trout. This is when the rowboat starts to see alot of use. Great exercise and alot of fun. Relaxing too. Then it is the transition to bass season in late June. This is my favorite freshwater fish. I especially love to catch smallmouth bass, pound for pound the best fighting freshwater fish there is. I'll fish for bass until early fall and then transition back to trout for the rest of the season.
Although I have been on several awesome bluefishing trips, my saltwater fishing resume is weak. I'd especially like to charter a boat for an overnight striped bass or yellowfin tuna trip.
I'd love to hear your fishing tales and especially any thoughts about saltwater fishing.
