65 miles to canal,130 to the race

30-60 minutes for me. I have fishing in my backyard in Quincy but fishing at night in Quincy just doesn't do it for me.

wheresmy50 06-22-2007 07:21 AM

About 4.5 to 5.5 hours from my door to Narragansett Bay.

Gas prices would NEVER affect my fishing habit...however distance and time to the water would.

:eek: .....

The way I feel about fishing........I WOULD MOVE CLOSER.

I live 5 minutes from my local river,,, 1/2hr to da big D,,, 20 mins. to an hour to SO many other spots which always make it harder to decide which one I'll allow to give me fish :buds:


...oh yeah, about 20 minutes to Gooses' boat,,, and then...:faga: ....FISH ON!!!

Rick Ackley 06-22-2007 07:49 AM

A tad over a hundred whether I hit the Quincy area or Connecticut shore. With gas where it is, I do not make these trips as often as I would like.

PaulS 06-22-2007 07:54 AM

4 min. drive but there are no fish there:tooth:

Surfcasting
 
30 to 90 minutes on a regular basis. Twice a week and sometimes more.

Interesting results from the question. I can't imagine driving down from Strubridge a couple of times a week. I hate going in that direction to get to New Braintree. At least the Pike is close and its all highway.

The Iceman 6 06-22-2007 08:00 AM

2 hour minimum drive one way, usually drive 2/3 hours to hit favorite spots. Gotta do what u gotta do...

An hour and a half to anywhere. 2 young kids, a V8 and work have killed my fishing time this year.

I take the subway to my fav. spots here in Boston, that is when my girlfriend does not drive me to better spots. 1/2 hr by train, 1/2 hr by car. Pretty nice sized fish in the inner harbor; to 34 inches. All in the shadow of Boston's skyscrapers.

RIROCKHOUND 06-22-2007 01:06 PM

You guys would hate me if I posted :D
Jim, that far away?
I thought you were closer than that?

reelecstasy 06-22-2007 01:10 PM

25 feet to the spot I fish everyday, & also put in my kayak
15 mins to 2 local favorite spots...
40 mins to cape

fishbones 06-22-2007 01:29 PM

30 minutes minimum to be on fish, but most of my spots are further. Anything more than 10 minutes is too far in my opinion. More time travelling = less time fishing.

Rockport24 06-22-2007 02:05 PM

I'm 10 minutes away from some good spots

Back Beach 06-22-2007 02:07 PM

Canal=52 miles
Gansett= 54 miles
Westport= 48 miles
%$%$%$%$ the cape

I am centrally located between my fishing grounds, but far away. :huh:

steve 06-22-2007 02:09 PM

distance to the surf
 
I'm lucky, 15 to 50 minutes depending on the spot.

partsjay 06-22-2007 02:17 PM

10 min to the canal.....15 to some other spots.

ThomCat 06-22-2007 02:20 PM

:yawn: 35 miles from the house to my slip.

JLH 06-22-2007 02:45 PM

~80 miles one way so about an hour and a half. I’m lucky enough to have family near the shore so at least I can stay the weekend or overnight the majority of the time.

FishWebb 06-22-2007 03:37 PM

5 minutes.
:wiggle:

shadow 06-22-2007 05:38 PM

Slingah 06-22-2007 05:48 PM

10 - 30 minutes to most of my local spots

EricM 06-22-2007 05:53 PM

3,988 miles and every single one of them hurts

ProfessorM 06-22-2007 07:51 PM

BW from AZ 06-22-2007 11:17 PM

2,714 miles door to boat. last time out, 6 straight days of cold wind and rain. skunked to boot. gotta learn to plan better trips.

Thom 06-23-2007 02:10 PM

CT coast about 1.5 hours So Country 2 to 2.5 hours. THomT

justplugit 06-23-2007 04:01 PM

1 hr to a spot, 1and 1/2 to good a spot, 4and 1/2 to the best spot. :)

InTheHole 06-23-2007 05:29 PM

93 miles door to dock,+20 to where i really like to fish

Clueless 06-23-2007 06:01 PM

Nearest favorite spot, 45-50 minutes. But I can have a line in saltwater in 20.

macojoe 06-23-2007 06:13 PM

All depends were I am going?

3 miles Yarmouth,
20 miles to Falmouth,
16 miles to Chatam,
10 miles to Barnstable Harborer

Fish out of Falmouth 80% of the time, of coarse it has to be the longest away also!!
