How many trips did you make?
Little slower than normal for me w/new child, but managed about 20-25 trips.
I ask this every year, so here goes the 2007 version.
Who's the biggest junkie here?

Probably 75 trips. 40 for bass the rest offshore.  Way off from last year but they were all fun and memorable. Countless bass, 150 + tuna, marlin, wahoo, etc. Not a bad year. Next year will be better. |

I don't know. I didn't go much until June and really slowed down after about Oct. 15. I did manage 10 nights in a row in early September.

I averaged 5 nights a week from late May through mid October, with a 10 nights in a row stretch in mid August and 12 night straight stretch in late September...about the same as usual, more than I care to count...

I dont live anywhere near the Thames, and never have lied about size of fish that I catch. I dont know where you got that from. I do often fish more than once a day. BTW I just did a total count of the trips in the log, turns out to be 154. Sorry about the error there. |

It's actually kind of embarrasing for me...I went to Cutty twice this year (nothing), the Cape many times, Thames, CT river for the May run, and my North Shore haunts like a combined 50 trips this year.
I caught lots of fish, but only two were what I would call memorable.
For me, though, I really don't care about catching big fish, hell, I don't even care about catching anything...I just like being out there.
Now, on the other hand, I just quit my job as GM of a casual dining steakhouse, and going to start working in Eastie as a software support rep, where I can walk outside and fish whenever I want........ 
Yeah, I've been hiding behind that couch for WAAAAAAYYYYY too long.
Talk to me next year.
Later,

Never thought of it that way, figured trips as in days.

I fished about 100 days this season, 45-50 kayak day trips, the Cape Cod weekend of the Tri-State Tournament, the Maine weekend of the Tri-State Tournament and a week on the Vineyard for the Derby at the Basic Fishing Shack, the rest were day trips from shore. Definitely a record season for me, time-wise anyway, not so much for size, but good numbers..... (and I learned a lot from some good anglers)

I started around April 15th but when May started I went out maybe 1 or twice a week from April 15th until Halloween with a break in mid July and August. I wanted to get out in November but was just way too busy.
I did not slay the fish but I did learn MANY new techniques and areas to fish so overall my season was awesome! I am fine tuning my fishing skills so next season should be even better.
If I am going to fish more I may need to find a more efficient vehicle...a nice 4cyl 4-door pickup would be very nice.
