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 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 !!!

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.

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

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.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

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.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ...
show him where to fish and ... you'll be sorry

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.

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