so I was out the other day and picked up 11 fish for 4 hours. I wasn't all that impressed none were over 3 lbs and it got me thinking, at which point would you say you had a good day, 10 fish per hour? 5?

while not on that specific trip I would say I average 4 fish per hour some times more sometimes less.

What is your average fish per hour.

my goal is 10 bass every trip.  but my average is prob 2 bass per hour

It depends on the body of water and time of year.

Good day = 60 fish per hour

Bad day = 59 fish per hour

With two babies and a busy schedule, time on the water is enough satisfaction for me.

I'm happy with 1 fish per trip As long as the action is decent (I'd say maybe 1 to 2 fish an hour) then I'm happy. If I'm in a boat, I don't care what happens, I just love floating haha.

I have no idea .

im happy to just be out fishing. if im catching nothing , then i work on different/new to me techniques.

When I take the canoe out, I usually spend 8 hours on the water and, on the productive lakes, usually get 15 to 25 bass - so, that would average out to about 2.5 fish/hour.

Now, fishing from the bank, the average goes out the window as it's incredibly variable. I might spend 3 hours fishing the bank and get 1 fish...or get 6 fish in an hour.

My goal is to catch at least 1 bass a day. In June, I caught bass everyday except two - 1 day I was out of town, the other day I got skunked :-/

Spring time it's at least 15 bass per hour. Summer is 2-4 bass per hour here in Michigan.

The water levels in the everglades determine if you can find fish. When water is high you can't buy a fish. But those are the exception. Most of the time I can expect 6-8 bass per/man/hr. It does get crazy feb-august when the average can be 10-18 per/man/hr.

I just like being on the water, fish or no fish I'am good.

at the lake I normally fish, a fish caught makes a good day, a keeper makes a great day.  There are days that I go out and catch several back to back, and then there are days that the goose lays the egg.  It's those days that you really work for the bite that seem the most worth while

Wow if I had y'alls expectations I would be very disappointed!!  Right now I am just hoping to get my first bite for the week!!!  I caught four bass a few weeks ago in one trip, the best ever for me.  One of my goals this season is to catch a limit of keeper size fish, that day was close.

Right at the moment while I'm trying things out, I'd be happy to catch A fish, any fish, I don't care what breed at this point...

Whatever it takes to win. I just go for 5 big fish.

Well in the morning I am fishing for five bites!  I have no plan and im on no fish!  I hope I have an hourly rate!  I practiced all day today and caught absolutely nothing worth keeping, so I'm going for broke....now gimme that flipping stick!

Man....I need to get some of you guys that only catch one fish a trip, and have never caught a limit into my club tournaments.... ....Then I would be ahead of someone atleast!  JK

I created a little gauge/icon I use from time to time on my blog (the sucker shot meter) that I use just for this type info when I tracked it. It was based around what I felt was a fair way to rate a trip on my local waters whether from boat or from shore. The last year I tracked it was 2007, although I did decide to start tracking again this year.

Anyway, a catch rate between 7.5-10 bass per hour is what I consider great fishing. Anything over 10 is exceptional - just my ranking. In 2007, I made 92 trips and had a yearly overall average of 3.8 bass per hour which rates "fair" on the gauge. Had several "great" trips, but of course those were offset by many not so great trips  ;D

I only aggressively bass fish from Jan-March, they run bigger and seem to be a bit more plentiful.  This time of year I may just fish my community pond for an hour or so, very small and the bite is slow, I don't keep track of size or numbers.

I'm an inshore saltwater fisherman and even in peak times you can go for days without getting a strike ( depending on what species you are targeting), I won't say it doesn't get depressing at times but when you catch something, ya gotta great thrill.......I love this challenge.

For the two days I fished this week, Wednesday I averaged 3.45 bass per hour for 12 3/4 hours, and Friday on another body of water I averaged 12.16 bass per hour for 12 hours.

Both were good days.

Depends on the water...some spots I fish have bigger fish but less numbers...others have lots of dinks but really high numbers.

Generally I shoot for double digits in a three hour trip...but If I catch only 1-2 big ones that is ok two.

Jeeeezeee I must fail hard, ill get one bass every week like 5-10 hours of fishing total. Never caught one on a senko either : (
