How often do you fish?

Featured Replies

Im lucky if I get in 2 - 3 days a month.  Between work and my other hobbies (mainly softball tournaments), I just dont seem to get out very often.  I mainly fish shasta which is about 30 miles from the house and my truck drinks fuel like I do beer in the summers, so that limits it as well.

  • Not often enough! ?

  • As soon as there's open water (usually 1st week in April or so) and until the hard water season (usually the last week in November), my mission is to go every day.  However, I can't realistically pull

  • On average,once the ice is out here in Frozen Yankee land, I can usually get out between 6-10 times in a month.  If all the stars are aligned perfectly then that might jump to 12-15, but that is rare.

I don't go very often all day anymore but I do several hour trips 3-4 times a month. I also often cast for 15-30 minutes off the bank behind the house or in ponds between work stops.

Let's see here... Being retired and getting up there in years, I still manage to get out at least twice a week in either my boat or my buddy's boat. Between those "on the water" trips, I'll run the bank just about every day it isn't raining.

Once the ice goes out, which is looking early this year, I go a minimum of 10 times a month from March or April (depending on Ice out) until the end of October.

Since I live on a lake in south FL I fish almost every day, some days only an hour before or after work and just about every weekend. I usually just fish the lake I live on.

I try to go about 3-4 times a week.  A lot of those are very short trips to one of the little ponds by my house after work.   My job is very hot/cold, so sometimes I don't make it out for weeks and some times I can go every day for a month.  

 

Last season I spent a ton of time, maybe close to half of all my time on the water, at a single small pond by my house.  It really payed off as my PB from that pond jumped up a full pound and my average size went up almost as much.

In the last few years, what I've been doing is from May through September I make around 30-40 short kayak trips, usually 3-4 hours on the water in the morning to any of 20 or so regular haunts, small public waters I like to fish within an hour of home. Then, from October through April, I rarely get to fish at all...maybe 5 hours total, an hour here and there from shore, or maybe one last short kayak trip before hanging things up for the season.

Last week I told the wife it was time to start the season.  Daffodills ready to bloom and a couple cherry trees blossomed.  It snowed to inches yesterday and we expect another inch tonight. I can actually walk the dog with a Spro frog on the snow.

8 days a week;)

Between march and November about 3-4 days a week

Unfortunately, I'm not retired so I can't realistically go 3-4 days/week during the season.  If I'm able to, I try to go once on the weekend and once during the week in the evening for a few hours.  A lot of it is dictated by the weather.  Sunny, calm, warm weather in the summer brings out a TON of recreational traffic on our lakes here, especially on weekends and major holidays, so I often avoid those.  One thing I've tried to do more is target days with inclement weather.  I won't fish in a thunderstorm but you'd be surprised how many people stay off the lake when there's a little rain in the forecast.

 

We have this thing called winter in the north for 5-6 months and I don't ice drink so that's what I like to refer to as the off season.
