There are all sorts of fishing that is available to anyone that wants to go out and participate in it and there are all sorts of fish that can be caught that only exist in lakes. Many species of Bass can only be found in certain lakes and there are some like catfish that can be found in all sorts of bodies of water. Perch is another one that is primarily found in lakes although there are plenty of sea perch and seas bass in the ocean if that is what you want to fish for. Walleye is another fish that can be found in lakes and is a great game fish to pursue. Lake fishing can be done from docks, the bank or as most prefer to be done while trolling in boats. There are those that also like to just go out in the boats and cast a line with a bobber and just sit back and relax. Lake fishing is fun and kids really enjoy it as it is a great starting spot for the beginning fishermen and women to learn about the art of fishing. You will want to check your game regulations to make sure that the lakes are open and what the fishing season is for them. Many lakes are open year around and some are only open a limited time. There are also many lakes that are stocked with fish on a yearly basis and are fun to fish.

There are all sorts of places to fish and different fishermen like to fish different waters.
One of the most popular and the easiest place to learn about fishing is in a lake. Lakes can be fished from a dock or on the shore but the most common way to fish a lake is in a boat. Certain fish can only be found in lakes like several species of bass, catfish, perch and walleye are best fished for in lakes. This is not the only place to find these fish it is where they are most commonly fished for. 
Sockeye salmon are also fished for in lakes because that is where they return to spawn. Lake fishing is also a great place to get kids involved in fishing and many lakes are planted each year with thousands of fish right before the opening of fishing season. This planting makes it easier to catch fish which is what fishing is all about. If you want to have a great time with the family
do some lake fishing and when you are done you can have a picnic or barbecue on the beach afterwards. There are many fishermen who keep their fishing just to lake fishing and have great success each and every year. Lake fishing is different than river fishing and does not always require casting like on a river or stream. You can cast but you can also let your line sit there and relax a bit.

There are some really great fishing spots close to your home that can produce great deal of fun for you and your rod. The best way to find these spots is by doing a little detective work on the information highway and not having to get up before dawn, packing a lunch and hooking up the boat for a quick fishing outing between appointment. I am talking about finding spots right in the suburbs where you live and work.
The fastest way to home in on these ponds is to go to Google Maps (maps.google.com). Put in your address in the search bar and once the map appears check the lower hand left corner so that it reads 1 inch equals 500 feet. Than start dragging the map and look for bodies of water. Check around housing developments, apartment complexes, shopping malls and industrial ares. Almost all of these will have ponds and most of them will be stocked with fish to help control mosquito populations. A lot of housing developments have old farm ponds in them and could hold some pretty good size bass.
I know, I lived in a development where I had a pond that was at my propriety line and have some good size bass , bluegill, crappies and flathead catfish. There was one large catfish that was the target of the community to catch and land and for the 10 years that I lived on that pond it was never landed. It was hooked a lot of times but would break the line or throw the hook when you got it within 2 foot of shore. It had to weigh a good 20 pounds. The bass where in the 1 to 3 pound range and the bluegill and crappie around a half to 1 pound. Everyone that lived next to the pond did fish and release. Now not all ponds will have this type or size of fish. You just have to find out what is there.
So I can tell you from first hand experience, you can have a lot of fun from these ponds, just git on line and do a little detective work and enjoy a quick fishing trip without the trip.

I know a lot of out there do not consider fishing for jack salmon, dore, pike-perch. Better known as Walleye but that is because the Walleye is not really a know fish by most. It is a very difficult fish to catch unless you know about it as most know about bass. So here I am going to see if I can give you some incite on a relatively easy fish to catch once you know where and when the best time to go on the hunt.
First, Walleye are not blind though their eyes makes one to believe they are but their eyes are opaque so that they can see in low light which gives them advantage over their pray in low light, dark nights and cloudy days as well as windy days. They shirk away from bright light and are more active at night. Now that does not mean that you can’t caught them during the day. You just need to use the weather to your advantage. Cloudy, windy and low light day or evening and of coarse at night. The wind will diffuse the light rays and make Walleye more active during the day.
Walleyes do not like dense vegetation, muddy bottoms or lose sand. So what do they like, open bottom with rocks, gravel or firm sand as long as they are not in spawn and love current. When the Walleye spawn the males enter spawning area first followed by the female and are found schooling. The female swim over the spawning area dropping the eggs and the males impregnating the eggs and the eggs drop to the bottom to settle where they may and both the male and female leave the eggs unprotected. This is a good time to catch Walleyes as they are in schools and they are hungry. The spawn begins when the water warms to 45 to 50 degress. If you find a current you will most likely find Walleye.
You can use live minnows or artificial bait, artificial bait that is fluorescent or bright in color is best, or a combinations of both. Just remember that Walleye are bottom feeders so you must get down to the bottom or close to it to get them.
I hope that you give Walleyes a try this spring.
Happy fishing and be save,
William

Welcome to my new Web site that will deal with everything with fishing. Why would I want to start a new site dealing with fishing when there are so many on the web already? I have just retired and find that I have the time now to get into my life long interest of fishing and looking forward to giving out useful info and getting information out that other sites are not. I am also looking forward to receiving comments on places, preferred baits, guide services and whatever you as a reader would like to share with others.
Please continue to check back to see what topics are being added continuesly along with any new comments that have posted by others. If you fish we want to hear from you. A few of categories that will be up for discussion will be: safe boating classes, different types of knots used and favorite fishing spots to just name a few.
As a youngster I did as much fishing as I could and even worked in a bait shop (for free) just to be around people who fished and always had a good story to tell and some of those stories I would say where a bit of a tall tale, if you know what I mean but as I became a nine to five guy there just didn’t seem to be the time for me to be fishing. While you are here and checked out the articles, take a minute and look at the Shop Tab and check out the stores that we have. As we all know, you get your best deals on line and without leaving home to stand in a checkout line when you could be sharing fishing with like minded people.
Enjoy and be save fishing,
William
