Being Lazy
 

Not keeping good logs through the entire season. I always start of filling out a log religiously in the spring. But finish with a lot of missing info.

I'm guilty of constantly spewing multiple profanity laden insults at the clowns I fish with. But I'm sure thats only to overcome my own insecurities and inabilty to actually catch fish, and I find it funny so that's what counts.

Some of my bad habits get worse when the session is over. Fishing has helped me keep my bad habits at bay for the most part. How ever my sleeping and eating habits are not good late may throu late oct.

I'm an extremely punctual person in real time. I fish, I get sucked into a time warp.

Nobody used to be concerned about this until around when I had a kid...

Ah well, it used to be chain-smoking. I'll take it.

CLASSIC :laughs:

EXACTLY, what seems normal to you at 10am after being up all night is not exactly, well more actually "this guy is some sort of crazy mutha", what you expect how "normal" people see you.

My new thing for this year is not to freak people out at the convenient store when they are on their way to work. :devil2:

funny how that works.... truth be told.. when your young and first get into "the game".. you write things down.. EVERYTHING... fact is you dont need to.. you remember every detail... as you get older.. you write less... unfortunatly.. you remember less as well.... eventualy you dont keep any logs at all...

Once you get to that point though I think the locations you fish become second nature almost? I know for me there are certain spots I will never fish in a given wind. Or tide for that matter.

Gotta be the Cigars, I get on my boat and 1 is to many and a hundred is not enough. I dont really think the social disconnect is a disqualifying offence, everyone just knows not to invite me to any functions. Or expect me to get any housework done either.

Most of my habits are bad, just depends who is on the boat fishing with me which determines those that are considered annoying that day?

Everything accept crack and heroin.

I chew and when I'm fishing it seems like I always have a dip in more often than not. I've been making some lifestyle changes by exercising and dietary changes and have dropped weight and gained muscle tone. Not much but it's happening. Quitting chew is on the horizon. I've had a lot of changes going on recently so it's one step/day at a time for me.

"Panic dump!"
 

[QUOTE=WESTPORTMAFIA;972752]Using a sock or a sleeve to wipe after a panic dump....

My side still hurts laughing over this one. Confess I never heard this term before; and I never considered cutting off a sleeve or a pant leg to get out of a jam.

I thought that was what socks were for.

My diet in the off season is bad enough then when im fishing it gets worse. The caffeine intake goes way up. Nicotine usage goes way up as well. But i swear that all the stuff that i do that is bad when in fishing isnt quite that bad. If i did it all when working i would have a heart attack, but since fishing is so therapeutic its all good.

Sleep is also a tough thing. A few hours rolled up in my cherokee and im good to go.

I think the worst habit is just being a total slob. My truck is a disaster from may through november every year. I pitty he idiot that tries to go digging through my console in a hurry they will pull out some VMC's for sure, i have...

BUBBLES thats your new nickname .

they aint tiny bubbles coming out your posterior .

I have no bad habits , if my habits are bad they are only that way in others eyes

Leaving plugs loose in the back of the car. The further along in the season the more there are back there.

If I ever rolled the car in October, I'd look like something out of a fishing horror movie on Halloween.

Time has no meaning. I alway set a schedule for fishing. "I'll be done by this time in the AM or PM" Once I'm out in the surf and the time comes to stop on my planned schedule, it becomes a marathon of "One more cast here, one more cast there".

Next thing I know it's hours past the "Don't worry, I'll be home by XX:XX time".

I eat far to much Wendy's, McDonalds, and gas station food, my truck hardly gets cleaned and stinks like dead eels, and my worst habit is when I almost doze off on the ride home. Other than that everythings dandy :-)

bad habit: Telling the wife what time I will be back... its ALWAYS later...


I once said "its up to the fish... ask them!"
