I don't recall missing 10 days this year, but I'll be conservative a call it 340 days.  Everyday starts in saltwater, there is no exception and I may only be out 4 hours counting driving time, I'm 30 minutes from most locations. Then it's freshwater in the afternoons, fishing times vary 1-3 hours usually.  Next year will be less as I'm planning a lengthy trip that will not include fishing, I could do 1 day charter.

2013 was slow for me!

1,113 total hours

7 hours per day average

159 actual days fishing

4,752 bass caught

7.9 lbs largest bass caught (3 times)

If I was to guess I'd say around 75 some where.  It was a slow year for me.

Last year was 52 days on the water.......

 

This year I have to add up my logs and will do so and report back!

OUTSTANDING !  I love good recordkeeping...

Living in south Florida it's ideal for fishing.  On weekends I go out in the everglades in the boat.  Almost everyday I  fish one of seven small lakes in Weston Florida from the shore.  All lakes have a nice supply of black and peacock bass.  Probably fish 250 days a year.  Great to live in South Florida.

108 days between April 27th and November 1st. Considering Michigans Bass season started on April 27th, that's not to shabby!!

OUTSTANDING ! I love good recordkeeping...

Sounds like a lot but 60% were bass under a pound caught in stocked ponds. All of these were your Tiger bass that attack any thing you throw.

I only got 96 days this year but hope to get one more this weekend!!

As I recently retired I have the luxury of going out almost every day. If I average it I come up with about 120 days give or take. I wish I could stand ice fishing, but my accuracy diminishes greatly when I'm drunk   

My average used to be over a 100 times per year with half of that being afternoons and the other half being all day.  Since I started a new business two years ago that is way down.  It's less than 30 days this year and most of those were in the spring.

I fished 95 days this year..... For Wisconsin and a 17 (16 at the time) I think that is GREAT

I'm torn between hating you, and wanting to grow up to be you...

When you say "days" thats the part that people interpret different. I look at my fishfinders at the end of the year, divide the hours by 8 and thats how many "true days" I fished that year. I dont count going out and fishing for 3 or 4 hours a day as being a day of fishing. A tournament day to me is a true day. That said this past year I spent 55 some off "days" on the water

2013 was my first year fishing. Grand total came to 5 days! Free time is scarce, so I'll be happy if I get 20 next year. I'm jealous of all of you.

Actual day on te lake fishin trips I'm lucky if I get 12 a year. Just fishin from shore for and hr or so I maybe do that 3-4 times a month. Either way not near enough but hopefully that will all soon change. :-)

I'm in the same boat.

My season here in Ohio is general early April to Late October. during that season I hit the lake 4 times a week rasin snow or shine. so 120 days a year no give me a minute to check.....

Accourding to my logs I actually only made it out 112 times last year. I am blessed I guess to spend that much time on the water, and have to thank a very understanding and supportive wife for that too.

Unfortunately we get freezes here so i also have to spend 4monthes straight off the water too...not a fair trade in my opinion.

I'm torn between hating you, and wanting to grow up to be you...

HAHA, just a perk of retirement.  The flip slide, countless times I had to leave the water or golf course to see an account or couldn't get a way in the first place.  I go thru heavy withdrawal without at least one fish day.

29.89 Fish per Day.  Impressive.

Last year I only went out 27 times between March and the end of Sept. Usually spent between 6 and 10 hours on the water depending on how the bass were biting, and if I was by myself or not.  I can't wait for retirement!

50 maybe, more realistically 40 some,  I don't know it is depressing to think about.  Basically I go every time I have the time, a few times this past year I had the time and wimped out because of weather.
