Three is about my max. If I did any more than that I'd be single and would be forced to fish seven nights a week. :devil:

Hey, wait a minute......:think:

Nah.

Slingah 01-24-2008 03:23 PM

BigFish 01-24-2008 03:26 PM

RIROCKHOUND 01-24-2008 03:36 PM

cheferson 01-24-2008 03:38 PM

for you the question should be, "How many nights in a row have you fished?" your answer would be something like 6 million....

I fish almost every day april thru october for at least a few minutes, well it's never that little time, but I live many hours from the salt so no I can't do it 7 days a week there.

riverrat2 01-24-2008 06:18 PM

I fish a handfuld of times a year the rest of my time is spent reading fishing sites and planning my next trip by way of reports.

Adam_777 01-24-2008 06:24 PM

I'm good for 3 a week.Every week ! Sometimes more depending on my luck and what the rest of the family is doing.Summer this year may slow a little more than last.May use it for repairing relations between her and I.Then sept-dec it's back on full force.

tattoobob 01-24-2008 08:35 PM

3X's would be at the least, some weeks morning and nights so it would be 14X's most seasons I do about 200 trips to the surf

My boat has been sitting next to the house for 2 years now

swimshad 01-24-2008 08:41 PM

3-5 sounds like a reasonable avg over the course of the entire season.

gone fishin 01-24-2008 08:47 PM

:hihi:Daily!! Sometimes twice -- nice to be retired. :blush:

Goose 01-24-2008 09:44 PM

Used too, now I got excuses. I'm tired. Not a lot of fish around. Price of gas sux. Family obligations. I'ld rather put myself in the postion to catch a quality fish and get skunked then fish my ass off for the occasional 20#.

Canalman 01-24-2008 10:24 PM

I do a consistent three except from May 15 to July 10 and September 1 to November 10. During those times, it's 4-10 (some days I go before work and then do the night shift after) times a week. BUT I'm not one of those guys who goes out no matter what, if the water sucks I stay home and put cookies in the jar for when the water is good again. And I no longer do all-nighters I've learned that it's an absolute waste of time---unless I'm slamming them, then I stay 'til they quit. :)

In sept I did one trip for three nights to the cc canal.An 2-3 night trips to Montauk.One stretch after that in NJ I did 22 of 23 nights.In the late spring I will be out more.. many times 2 a days..First light an dawn..
Most nights I go for a few hrs..with all nighters fri an sat..I have area's to move to make tides.

I would fish more but I don't have the stamina I used to..

Andy D 01-25-2008 07:46 AM

At least 1 sometimes twice a day

bassballer 01-25-2008 07:57 AM

3-4 times for me. Anymore and I would prob be single. Even now I have to keep a fish every couple of weeks so she will believe I am actually fishing. But she doesnt hassle me so I can deal with with it.

That's called being efficient.

HESH2 01-25-2008 08:56 AM

average at least 100 days per year,try and go every day spring-tides-weather-wind-etc. factors.start end on march and pretty much to dec.less days later on in year.

tlapinski 01-26-2008 09:31 AM

3 - 5 trips per week from April through November is about right for me. It gets harder and harder each year between work, the mortgage, family life, living over an hour form the closest saltwater, etc... When I was younger and still living with my mom, I had seasons fishing 6 - 7 nights a week plus working a full time job and somehow finding time for school. Those were good times, but I get so much out of my family these days it more than offsets less time spent on the water.

hyefisherman2 01-26-2008 10:00 AM

once i have my own vehicle it will be 8-10 times a week...:blush:

LeCounts1099 01-28-2008 11:58 AM

Hye, when I was 17/ 18 yrs. old & finally got my vehicle & License... I did nothing (in- season) BUT fish anytime I was off from school! (Off- season I cleaned out the fishing gear in my vehicle, for my dates!). When I was biking only to fish pre- car... I still fished 3- 4x / week or more when in the "right" Seasons! :bl:


Still Single & no kids yet... so happily still fishing as much as I choose! :boots:

In May & June & Oct. & Nov., I'm fishing on average 5.5 days/ week or so, 65/ 35% or so Surf, to Boat... (I do have a GF & live in NYC no where near my prime spots-- otherwise I'd fish more those months! :angel:). April, July, Aug. & 1st half of Sept. I'd say my effort is approx. half that...

Jan.- April: NO FISHING AT ALL! Got to re-charge the batteries & legs, & pay the Bills & see the Woman sometimes! :huh: :heybaby:

Hey, the internet is a powerful thing. There's really no need to fish every night. I'm currently developing a computer program that will accept all kinds of input like wind, tide, location, moon phase, target species etc. Once that data is entered you simply connect to any fishing site's reports section and let the software do the rest. The end result is you’ll spend all of your time catching and will only need to be on the water, get this, ONE night per week. It will tell you exactly when, where, and how at the push of a button. You can even choose between small and large fish too. The plug fishermen are going to love it. :rolleyes:

I'm going to need some beta testers, any volunteers?

This sounds great Mike. Let me know when this is up and running. I'll surely get the handicap into single digits when you roll this out.:btu:

GonnaCatchABig1 01-28-2008 01:15 PM

i average three trips a day.. catch both highs and then a low. with a nap between. though sometimes it just turns into a 16 hour marathon.. i really need to find a real job..
