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.

I normally fish alone which is fine with me.

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need

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

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.

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.

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

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!

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

Wow what a bunch on loners round here! 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.

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

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

My goal in life is to be the kind of man my dog thinks I 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.

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.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
