They call it fishing, not catching, for a reason

I like open water fishing; more variety in what, when and how to fish. The hard water pursuit is a very close second, it gets me outside during our depressing, cloudy winters here in Central NY.

I actually prefer ice fishing. Must be the cold crisp air or something...the sound of an auger at sunrise...LOL

I like open water...more variety. I do start to look forward to the hardwater season around late fall, but I'm just as happy, when it ends in March, to break out the fly rods and waders.

I must say I like Ice fishing better (Freshwater), but prefer to fish the surf and saltwater during the summer.
Better chance for bigger and more quality fish, plus, it's a little more challenging. Don't get me wrong I fish my share of open water freshwater as well............I feel for you guys who live in the middle of the US and Canada who don't get the chance to fish the salt.............it's a whole vast other world.

I love open water as well as ice fishing but spring and fall stripers on light tackle in the back bays of NJ is by far my favorite.

Ice fishing way more. I move around so much that I don't get a sore butt like summer fishing. There is less closures in winter so I get more of a variety of fish. I can pinpoint a hot spot and don't have to worry about the wind drifting me to fast past. Ice fishing is also where I go usually very quiet and peaceful. Sure you get the odd snowmobiler but very few. In summer the lake is fished more and also some flipping noisy sea-dooer buzzing around. Hate those things cause I have not mastered leading them with my 7mm Rem Magnum at 150 yards going 65 miles an hour

I'd have to say open water. I think peoples preference really depends on if you have a boat or not. I'm sure it can get really boring fishing from shore after a while. Having ice you could move all you want on a lake. I do have a boat hence the reason I like the open water better. You have way more variety on what you are going to use to catch fish. I like the warm weather as aposed to the cold weather. Summer to me in general is just so much nicer than winter. Don't get me wrong, I to get that urge to ice fish in the fall also but boy do I sure like it when all the snow is gone.
