When you go fishing do you ?
 
95% of the time I go fishing ,I'm alone ,, I notice many fish in couples .. How many in your party ..

nightfighter 04-27-2009 04:11 PM

Just me most of the time. I don't want to wait for anyone to get out of bed... Usually rowing out to the boat in the dark.

5/0 04-27-2009 04:14 PM

I normally fish alone which is fine with me.

JLH 04-27-2009 04:31 PM

Alone probably 95% of the time if from shore. Boat it's usually me and my Dad.

Redsoxticket 04-27-2009 04:51 PM

I usually fish alone but it would be nice to team up for those spots that can be dangerous.

Im a 90% loner. Its nice to have company of a capable fisherman. Or a bassbabe, who is a capable fisherman.

numbskull 04-27-2009 05:11 PM

Local, I'm on my own. Travel, 1 or 2 others if available.

Cool Beans 04-27-2009 05:14 PM

Occasionally I go solo, but almost always I bring at least one of my 3 kids along. Always more fun with the kids! I spend more time rigging their poles and untangling lines that I do catching fish, but have a lot of fun.

thefishingfreak 04-27-2009 05:44 PM

Id go alone, but the guy who owns the boat wouldn't appreciate it too much :hee:

snake slinger 04-27-2009 05:48 PM

alone

Plum Crazy 04-27-2009 06:02 PM

I always fish with my best friend, my husband:p:D

glennjan61 04-27-2009 06:43 PM

moosh 04-27-2009 07:34 PM

Alone , and thats fine with me

The Dad Fisherman 04-27-2009 07:59 PM

Probably 75/25 With Someone/Alone....

WESTPORTMAFIA 04-27-2009 08:29 PM

I would prefer to fish with 1 other person. Sometimes for safety and sometimes just to shoot the %$%$%$%$ before, during, and after fishing. I'm not talking about telling war stories while the fish are slamming. But it's good to hang out with someone who enjoys fishing. %$%$%$%$ always happens while fishing and I think it's more fun with someone else. Alone time is also needed but not that often.

BasicPatrick 04-27-2009 08:35 PM

mostly alone but prefer one other

Gunpowder 04-27-2009 08:43 PM

90% loner as well. if im not alone im with my cousin benny and brother chris.

Clammer 04-27-2009 09:00 PM

use to be 90% alone >>>.... then my life & attitude changed & 1 other guy is a good time . But now / with my sea legs >> often staying home . I,m pretty much convined that I shouldn,t be out in the boat @ night alone .
even my kids /arn,t happy if I do . I do have some shore places that I will fish alone .
I REALLY miss the peace & senerity of night fishing in the boat alone >>>>>>>>> but as I,m well aware /another change in life :(

gone fishin 04-27-2009 09:04 PM

Mostly alone, but have a VIP along who doesn't fish.:hee:

Pete F. 04-27-2009 09:10 PM

Alone, except when I'm not.
About the only place I don't fish alone is breachways, that is a different kind of fishing.

MarshCappa 04-27-2009 09:12 PM

Wow what a bunch on loners round here!:rolleyes: I'm in the same boat though. I usually fish my shore spots solo. If I'm in the skiff it's 50% solo and the rest with either my son or friends.

Motor Fish 04-27-2009 09:18 PM

For some reason, none of my buddies want to get up and go fishing at 2AM. :huh:

80% of the time I'm alone, but would prefer some company.

redcrbbr 04-28-2009 01:37 AM

I would say about 60% of the time I go it alone.

Slingah 04-28-2009 05:46 AM

I'd say alone 75%....25% with friend....

Tagger 04-28-2009 05:52 AM

I see most fish alone .. Not suprised.. You gotta squeeze your own time in, nevermind fishing around someone eles schedule . Usaully bump into people on the beach anyway and make new friends .. "Hi ,,,, Any Luck ?"

spinncognito 04-28-2009 07:13 AM

71% alone and 29% with a friend or my girl.
No one likes to get up at 3AM...

Back Beach 04-28-2009 07:30 AM

Usually with one or two people, depending on who it is. I go for the laughs as much as the fishing. I'm probably 80% with/ 20% solo.

Bronko 04-28-2009 07:41 AM

I'm about 60 with someone 40 alone. The 60 with someone are usually the same couple guys.

But, the bottom line is, a lot of the time I am chest deep in water at 3am on a Wednesday in fog so thick you can't see a foot in front of you after a 15 minute hike to a remote spot. If somebody else is there, God bless them.:walk:

BassDawg 04-28-2009 07:46 AM

:heybaby: :heybaby: :heybaby: :heybaby:

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Rockfish9 04-28-2009 08:23 AM

Lone wolf.. I never liked hunting in packs or pairs..

fishbones 04-28-2009 08:40 AM

I enjoy fishing on the boat with my dad because even if we're not catching much, we still have a lot of laughs. But like a lot of you, I do a lot of fishing from shore alone because of scheduling, etc... I often decide to go last minute and can't call friends at 10:00pm for a 2 or 3:00am wake up call.

InTheHole 04-28-2009 08:50 AM

I boat fish and my family is with me 90% of the time, I spend most of my time as mate and pilot.... and to be honest I wouldn't want it any other way.

birdshark 04-28-2009 08:57 AM

Alone most of the time. Have a feeling my little daughter will be tagging along as soon as she can.

GonnaCatchABig1 04-28-2009 09:11 AM

usually with 1 or 2 buddies. it's always good to have people around to verify the stories. (or keep you honest) always laughs to be had.

plus i don't know why, but i still haven't been able to stay focused while alone at night. i get too creeped out. some spots more than others. on a rock i'm more or less fine. open shoreline. not so much.

hyefisherman2 04-28-2009 10:23 AM

i usually fish alone...unless at the canal i like to fish with a buddy.

bassballer 04-28-2009 10:26 AM

usually with one other person. for saftey and good times. When you release a nice fish its good to have a witness.

JoeBass 04-28-2009 10:33 AM

I prefer fishing with one other guy or 2 if the area is big enough. I do fish alone about 25% of the time.

HESH2 04-28-2009 02:03 PM

always go alone and at spots i fish usually meet up a few guys who fish same area and we fish together from the surf.

Rocco34520 04-28-2009 02:19 PM

Im almost always with a friend. Whether that is my dad or a friend. I enjoy the company before and after fishing. But once im there its all business. Also im a competitive person so its nice to catch more fish too.
