I had the tell tale " Bloody Thumb " yesterday, and thats how I judge a good day !!! ;D

I expect nothing so anything that happens is "in the black"

LOL. Set the bar low enough and your expectations will always be exceeded!

That's my approach as well. ;D

AGREED!

That's easy. Any day on the water is a "good" day. One bass over 10 lbs makes it a "great" day. A couple over 10 is a "really" great day. One over 15 is bombastic ! :-)

Honestly, if I were to go out fishing for big fish, and catch 5 or 10, two or three lb'ers, I'd feel pretty much like I had been skunked...... Of course getting skunked is a perfectly normal, and acceptable part of the trophy bass game. I'd WAY rather have a skunked day on the water, than to spend the day at work. Unfortunately, that's where I'm headed right now :-( Next three days on the water though ;-)

Peace,

Fish

A day fishing is, by definition, a good day. Add a few non-dinks, and it's a great day. Add a 5+ to the equation equals an awesome day.

;D ;D I go along with any day I get out is a good day!! :D

Anyday= Nice day

One over 3lbs= Good day

4lb+= Great day

5lb+= Fantastic day

Over 6lbs= New PB!

Boat doesn't leak, rods or reels don't break, I don't drop anything overboard. Catch a few fish. Great Day!

Holy Smokes...you're a tough man to please Ronnie!

I wouldn't mind breaking a couple of rods, if it meant getting a couple of bass in the boat

While I always expect to catch at least one, any day fishing is a good day. I enjoy the challenge of trying to figure out how to catch'em.

Any thing above zero is lagniappe

huh? :o

I'll save y'all the trouble of running for your dictionaries:

lagniappe [pronounced LAN-yap] -- a small gift given a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase; broadly : something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure ;D ;D ;D

now that's a $10 word!

just think of the word as a bakers dozen    your hurting my eas with all that dictionary talk

i have been fishing just about everyday for about a month now...3 dinks and a snagged catfish is all i have come up with...but i just love being out fishing

dam you might need another hobby  thats way to long not to figure a pattern out ;D

I fish several days a week and have a good time each day (well except for last week when I pulled the boat out and had a hole in it - that day pretty much blew).

The thread title said "How many does it take to be a good day". I don't fish numbers so that question I really can't answer. I have been out and caught 40+ fish in a day that were small...literally I'd move to try and get out of them.

I fish weight - but that's just me. If you want to gauge your fishing day by numbers then that's good too. To me I look for an average of 5 fish - which is the normal tournament limit here - and see what I get. 15 pounds is a so so day. 20 pounds is getting pretty good. Anything above 20 pounds for 5 fish makes a "good" day.

A day fishing is, by definition, a good day. Add a few non-dinks, and it's a great day. Add a 5+ to the equation equals an awesome day.

I hear you about that.

Just one, a "Friend" in the boat with me is all it takes for me to have a great day!

Catching fish is just a Bonus!
