I'll let you know in a few weeks.I'll be turning 65 yrs old..

I can last about seven-ten hours,but it kills my knees and back.If i'm fishing with someone,i'll let them run the trolling motor,while I sit back and rest.

crack of dawn until around 10-11, come back for a break and some lunch and then head back out around 4 or 5 until sundown. That's on a good day though. 

 

X2 here. I fish for about 6-8 hours a day on Saturday and 4 hours on Sunday on a weekly basis. It get's way to busy during the heat of the day on the lake so I stay in then.

Age and temperature has a lot to do with how long I fish. Fifteen years ago I fished all day in the Winter but only half a day during the Summer. Here is Florida the Summers are tough on fishermen. I use to fish three or four days a week and now I am down to once a week. My partner and I start at daylight and fish till about 11:00am. This is 5 or 6 hours. I am 79 and it is harder to get the boat back into the garage. I have to push it part way. The sun and humidity is tough on me during the summer but it depends on how many fish we are catching. Some lakes are two hours away so add 4 hours of driving on top of the fishing.

I can tell I am nearing the end of my fishing with only a few years left before it is physically too much for me. At the end of a day I am beat. My legs hurt and I am exhausted. I am trying to stay in shape and any day fishing is still a good day. Even if the day is only 4 or 5 hours long.

Two years ago family keys vacation my days went like this 6 AM to 9 AM flats fishing usually solo, 9 AM to 11 AM breakfast and offshore rigging, 12PM to 5 PM offshore fishing or diving, 6PM-8PM dinner, 10 PM to 12 PM bully-netting for lobster. Did it for 2 straight weeks, was beat up physically and mentally had to take a week break before I wanted to go fishing again. 

I put in a six hour shift yesrerday...my back is not happy with me today lol

appreciate every minute of it, i dont have the time or energy anymore to do all nighters. i usually only get out about 6-10 hrs a week

I use to fish 6 days a week 4 or 5 during the week and at least 8 on weekends on average

Today I pretty much fish just on the weekends and it is hard for me to get out of that 8 hour mode as that was normal tournament hour time..

If it is a good day I may quite a little earlier than 8 hours but if it is tough I may fish even longer as it is always a challenge to me to beat the

bass at their deal and try to figure the deal out...

Boat traffic is normal for me and I block that out and even use prop wash to catch on an attack type deal bait like a spinner bait..

Back in my old full time tournament deal I would fish during tournament hours and learn the lake until super time or motel check in the rest of the time putting around and a looking.....

The old saying that I learned from an old timer was "You are no better than the water you know"

Down here in Florida you fish as long as you can until the sun melts you. I have fished all day sometimes. But for most part I get in a few hours a day or every other day. Im am a native and the heat doesn't bother me. But when out with friends they can't handle more then a few hours.

Wife and daughter go with me most of the time. So we usually collectively decide which is about 3-8 hours. Depending on the day. ;-)

Sometimes I'll fish from the morning until around 10:00 PM. The only reason i leave is because in the summer, the mosquitos gather by the thousands around your head.

My wife goes with me, so we fish all day and sometimes hang around for some catfishing at night. we fished everyday of our 10 day vacation, only leaving the water early, 3 P.M., one day.

i did a 545am to 8pm day on thursday, not uncommon for me
