You might be better served to just stay in NC for the time being, and buy a perm license for Florida or Oregon. If you're trying to grind up credits with a small keeper, CO is the better option.

I like Carolina much better than either NY or CO for the eye candy and more varied fishing. Thanks for your advice and it will surely be put to use. New York was fun while I was there, but given the current economy, I am trying to stay around places where I know that I can make my money back each day at a minimum. I can fill my 88 lb net with them and have a pretty good day and that's much better than catching Flatheads for about 15 minutes and being done. I have found them to offer the best bang for the buck. I don't know if I mind the trout since I'm pretty much doing the same with bass already.

I did notice that it looks like there is a better chance for Uniques in Colorado. As long as you are using lures of at least a 2/0 size (when targetting pike/pickerel, 1/0 works fine for walleye) in NY you will pretty much never catch young fish and inititally can do a lot better for average fish size. Until you learn to really maximize technics in Colorado you will catch many young trout in the half pound range. NY while perhaps slightly less profitable provides a better mix of fishing.mostly pike/pickerel sunny days, mostly walleye rainy and a mix on cloudy.Ĭolorado provides a chance at two (smaller) unique species and NY only one. Originally posted by Deconstructed:Float fishing (in good spots) outside of peak times will allow Colorado to be more profitable (dependant on net size) but Colorado is always the out, trout and more trout.
