What would it take

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

What would it take to start fishing another species

Nothing, I like what I fish and nothing else

I'm fishing for whatever is biting my hook (as long as it is in season).

I grew up on lower Detroit River/ Lake Erie where fishing for walleye, bass, perch. cat fish, carp, & sheephead were all fair game depending on season and time of year. I had never fished for salmon and could only dream of what it would be like until two summers ago, when I made my first trip to Port Hope with my two brothers after reading about it on this board. While that year was mainly a learning experience, we did manage to catch a small pink salmon. Went back again last year and caught my first Chinook - and now I'm hooked - there is no feeling like a big chinook stripping line from your reel and there is nothing you can do about it until he is ready to stop!!! I've always considered myself mainly a walleye guy, but Mr Chinook proved you can always teach an old dog new tricks. [/list]

Chinook are also on my to do list.

Thats awesome to switch like that and be successful in the second year.

Kinda like my first bulldog experience with a big laker

Pretty much nothing I'm not willing to fish for. In fact, looking forward to new specie opps this year, the next and likely the year after.

I agree with Steve's first comment, "the question is, what would it take to be a 1 fish angler," unfortunately that thread would likely be plugged with bass or muskie guys...... and we all know what it takes for them. :wink: Ahem.... insanity. :P :P :P
