The only fishing from the US i've seen is the bass fishing. The guys frantically chuck there lures out and it's a case of getting as many fish in the tub for weighing as possible. It's all mad and fast. The match fishing scene in the UK is similarly highly charged. All that competition type fishing is not my cup of tea at all.

I prefer the more relaxed approach of pleasure fishing. Fishing for me is not even about catching fish, it's about getting away from it all for a few hours, if you catch any fish, well that's an added bonus. And we have some beautiful freshwater fish over here. The best days are when you're on your own, the weather's kind to you, seldom the case in the uk, and the fish are biting.

I've still got all my gear but rarely go fishing nowadays, other things have taken over, but i'll never get rid of my stuff just in case I fancy wetting a line sometime.
Most of my friends fish for bass. I’m not really a bass fisherman, I like fishing in creeks in the middle of nowhere, I like surprises instead of knowing what I will catch.

i agree. Multispecies is the way to go. I dont understand how bass fisherman dont get tired of it
 
what kind of fishing do you do? I like saltwater, UL, and LRF

We have lots of good coastline being an island so i've done a lot of inshore mackerel fishing, i love mackerel, delicious fish, extremely underrated. A bit further out in deeper water i've done wreck fishing, which I love.

But most of my fishing was freshwater. Basic float fishing, occasional ledgering. There's something mesmerising to me about watching a float. A sudden twitch, a dip here and there, and then it sails away, BANG, fish on. Gives me goosebumps, lol.

For many years I was a big fan of English-style fishing methods for carp fishing. While living on campus at the U of Toronto, the only fishing I could access (having no car) was at the mouth of the Rouge River or Credit River, which could be reached by subway and bus. Except for the limited season during which salmon and steelhead were running, carp were ...at least for me...The Fish in those waters.

I loved listening to "serious" fishermen, who pulled in relatively tiny bass or sunfish or crappie while fishing nearby, and scoffed and ridiculed me when I landed 20 and 30 pound carp right next to them...because carp were considered "trash" fish. :)
