I knew when I saw the thread title it was you Slingah! I think I like the hunt/just being there the best....being with great friends, laughing with or at them when things are good or things get strange like if someone trips in a hole in the sand or something funny like that! When fishing alone, I just like the peace and quiet....starry nights....having a fox parallel you as you walk down the beach.....the sound of tails slapping......and just plain thinking about nothing but what is around me! Can't beat hammering fish with a buddy or two though.....and then afterwards trading stories about the nights catch! Maybe fibbing a little bit! I can't wait for the fall run!

Look up one. There's a guy who's fun to fish with.

Hey Fred....I know you like fishing with me!

i like the feeling of being one with the ocean. Theres nothing like being perched up on a ledge and having huge rollers come in and explode under your feet shooting spray 20 feet over your head. I love the solitude, I love fishign allnight without a tap and almost falling asleap reeling in a needlefish slowly and being woken up by screaming drag. I love going to a spot knowing there will be fish there, i love the feeling i get landing big fish on a plug i made. and mostly the thing i love the most is outfishing #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&

Though I love just being out fishing -- the quiet eeriness of a late, foggy nite at the canal; the power of the crashing waves in Rhody; even the hustle and bustle of a busy day at a well-known spot -- there's nothing like fishing with your friends. It's good to know that there's someone who will watch your back, take your picture, and tell you that they're proud of you when you hook up large. And it's even better being able to do that for someone else. Fish, schmish. I always have a good time when I go out with another person, even if all we catch is the skunk.

The peace and quiet,the beauty and sound of the ocean, spending time with a good friend ,the thrill of a hit and the excitement of a blitz.

A FEW cold beers at 6 am after I'm done catching

Slingah
nice poll

It's a toss up with number one & 4.

The night before a trip is awesome, I like spending the time to inspect & prepare all of my gear,I want the pice of mind knowing that everything is ok and ready to rock-n-roll!"I don't like to wing it"or fly by the seat of my pant's.
Also when I go to bed, it's tuff to sleep knowing & antisipating of getting up & going to that "spot"....is sombody going to be in it?How many spot's will I'll have to go through to find where the fish are?How big will the fish be this time?Will I score that trophy.it's endless reviewing the plans....

Getting there is just as incredible,looking up at endless black sky litered with stars,some of them shooting across it,the suttle sounds of rolling waves or the trikle of the water with nobody in site it's just me and the water.
I count my blessing's everytime I can make it down to the water to fish and just take it all in.
