My favorite fishing spot is along Big Horse Creek at Tuckerdale Baptist Church in the North Carolina Mountains . This is a great fishing spot, in the bend of a mountain stream with good holes for trout along most of the bank. In addition, the site is extremely peaceful, and warrants a stop even if only to enjoy lunch on the tailgate so as not to infringe on others who may be fishing there. No matter the situation, except when church activities are taking place, I always make the time to stop at this spot because of the peace and beauty of the experience. One of my best casts ever took place here as well. On my first cast towards the mouth of a 60" pipe across the stream, I hooked a 16" Rainbow on a No. 1 Mepp's Silverbo spinner.

My favorite fishing spot was my old home in Dutch Harbor AK. Fresh Salmon and halibut could be caught anywhere around the Island.

Mc Tucker ponds in south east Idaho use a gold or a silver treble hook spinner and cast out about 20ft and start reeling in at a not fast but not slow pace and you will hook bull trout all day long and there are some really good size ones in there too.

The reason I like it isn't because the fishing is great. It's good but not great. I like it because it is peaceful, beautiful and in 23 years I've never seen another soul their besides me and mine. You have to hike in about 2.5 miles from the nearest road and there isn't a trail. So I'm not telling. Yes I'm selfish. No, I don't feel guilty about it. There are 1000's of places like it if you are willing to hike in over trail-less wilderness.

Our pond, Ft. Macon Point NC when the blues are running, Blood River on KY Lake. The crappie in pic was around 14".

I was stationed in Panama for 2 years before the base was closed. We did not call it fishing, we called it catching. As a fisherman, it was the best 2 years ever. I fished both sides of the country and all the way through canal. Loved it.

Fort Belvoir, Va. recreation area on the occoquan reservoir . It has or at least had a lot of places with easy access to the water and a couple of piers with just about any kind of fishing you wanted, Large mouth bass, striped bass , catfish and more. It was always clean, secure and quite. It started with a few guys from my platoon just hanging out telling lies about fish we had caught and the girls we hadn’t often while untangling a bird’s nest or trying not get hung up and lose our bait. Over time we were fewer and fewer and eventually most of the other guys were gone or had moved on. Then I met a girl that enjoyed fishing and spending time quietly waiting for that fishing pole to bend . She stuck and around and over time those trips were spent with her and our two beautiful children.
We would pack enough food, drinks and snacks and a couple of changes of clothes for the kids and go picnic, play and fish all day and often all night.
There was one summer weekend around 15 years ago that we had some great luck, I got to watch both my son and daughter hook up on several good size catfish over just a couple of hours. A couple of the fish were nearly as long as my kids were tall. I think the largest was a little less than 20lbs. On our drive home I realized that I had not set a hook on or reeled in a single fish out of the 15 plus caught that night.
All these years later that trip is still by far my favorite fishing trip of my life. We relocated around 10 years ago and haven’t been back.
