How Far?
what's the average distance you travel from dock to fishing grounds?My favorite spot is almost 30 miles, but a great producer with the promise of large.

Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better idiot.

I have caught more bass less than one mile from my home port. They say accidents happen less than one mile from home.
|
thats why they call it fishing not catching

A pebble, in the right place can prevent an Avalanche.

End of last season me and a buddy were catching one bass after another within site of my slip. Fish were 18-38 inches.
Other than that anywhere from 1 to 30 miles.
I CAN'T WAIT !!!!!  |

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

It depends on what I'm fishing for. Inshore fish, I'll typically run 5-25 miles. Offshore stuff anywhere from 30 to 100 miles each way.

It depends on the day and who we are with. One of our friends is so close to shore that every cast could get a surfcaster. Most of the time is 1 to 26 miles. might be different this year.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ...

0 to 60 miles; but once you are out past where most of the boats are, safety should be your first and foremost concern with regards to distance traveled. No fish is worth compromising your/someone else's safety.
