Who Surfcasts 3X-5X a week?

[Back Beach]

Three is about my max. If I did any more than that I'd be single and would be forced to fish seven nights a week.

Hey, wait a minute......

Nah.

[Slingah]

I'm in...thanks....
I hope I win!!!

[BigFish]

Not me!









3-5 times at least a week! I think JohnR is saying alot of us are bad husbands and lousy Fathers!!!! You think its easy being a lousy Father???

[RIROCKHOUND]

Yup!
average 5x; less in Mid July/Aug, more in May-June, Sept-Nov

[cheferson]

at least

[ilovetwofish]

Usually more the that.

I fish almost every day april thru october for at least a few minutes, well it's never that little time, but I live many hours from the salt so no I can't do it 7 days a week there.

[riverrat2]

I fish a handfuld of times a year the rest of my time is spent reading fishing sites and planning my next trip by way of reports.

[Adam_777]

I'm good for 3 a week.Every week ! Sometimes more depending on my luck and what the rest of the family is doing.Summer this year may slow a little more than last.May use it for repairing relations between her and I.Then sept-dec it's back on full force.

[tattoobob]

3X's would be at the least, some weeks morning and nights so it would be 14X's most seasons I do about 200 trips to the surf

My boat has been sitting next to the house for 2 years now

[swimshad]

3-5 sounds like a reasonable avg over the course of the entire season.

[gone fishin]

Daily!! Sometimes twice -- nice to be retired.

[Goose]

Used too, now I got excuses. I'm tired. Not a lot of fish around. Price of gas sux. Family obligations. I'ld rather put myself in the postion to catch a quality fish and get skunked then fish my ass off for the occasional 20#.

[Canalman]

I do a consistent three except from May 15 to July 10 and September 1 to November 10. During those times, it's 4-10 (some days I go before work and then do the night shift after) times a week. BUT I'm not one of those guys who goes out no matter what, if the water sucks I stay home and put cookies in the jar for when the water is good again. And I no longer do all-nighters I've learned that it's an absolute waste of time---unless I'm slamming them, then I stay 'til they quit.

[NIB]

In sept I did one trip for three nights to the cc canal.An 2-3 night trips to Montauk.One stretch after that in NJ I did 22 of 23 nights.In the late spring I will be out more.. many times 2 a days..First light an dawn..
Most nights I go for a few hrs..with all nighters fri an sat..I have area's to move to make tides.

I would fish more but I don't have the stamina I used to..

Valby RULES!!!!

[Andy D]

At least 1 sometimes twice a day

[bassballer]

3-4 times for me. Anymore and I would prob be single. Even now I have to keep a fish every couple of weeks so she will believe I am actually fishing. But she doesnt hassle me so I can deal with with it.

That's called being efficient.

[HESH2]

average at least 100 days per year,try and go every day spring-tides-weather-wind-etc. factors.start end on march and pretty much to dec.less days later on in year.

[tlapinski]

3 - 5 trips per week from April through November is about right for me. It gets harder and harder each year between work, the mortgage, family life, living over an hour form the closest saltwater, etc... When I was younger and still living with my mom, I had seasons fishing 6 - 7 nights a week plus working a full time job and somehow finding time for school. Those were good times, but I get so much out of my family these days it more than offsets less time spent on the water.

[hyefisherman2]

once i have my own vehicle it will be 8-10 times a week...

[LeCounts1099]

Hye, when I was 17/ 18 yrs. old & finally got my vehicle & License... I did nothing (in- season) BUT fish anytime I was off from school! (Off- season I cleaned out the fishing gear in my vehicle, for my dates!). When I was biking only to fish pre- car... I still fished 3- 4x / week or more when in the "right" Seasons!


Still Single & no kids yet... so happily still fishing as much as I choose!

In May & June & Oct. & Nov., I'm fishing on average 5.5 days/ week or so, 65/ 35% or so Surf, to Boat... (I do have a GF & live in NYC no where near my prime spots-- otherwise I'd fish more those months! ). April, July, Aug. & 1st half of Sept. I'd say my effort is approx. half that...

Jan.- April: NO FISHING AT ALL! Got to re-charge the batteries & legs, & pay the Bills & see the Woman sometimes!

Hey, the internet is a powerful thing. There's really no need to fish every night. I'm currently developing a computer program that will accept all kinds of input like wind, tide, location, moon phase, target species etc. Once that data is entered you simply connect to any fishing site's reports section and let the software do the rest. The end result is you’ll spend all of your time catching and will only need to be on the water, get this, ONE night per week. It will tell you exactly when, where, and how at the push of a button. You can even choose between small and large fish too. The plug fishermen are going to love it.

I'm going to need some beta testers, any volunteers?

This sounds great Mike. Let me know when this is up and running. I'll surely get the handicap into single digits when you roll this out.

[GonnaCatchABig1]

i average three trips a day.. catch both highs and then a low. with a nap between. though sometimes it just turns into a 16 hour marathon.. i really need to find a real job..
