How often do you go Fishing? 2024

jayhawkfishin reply :

The topic basically says it all. How often do you hit the lake. It has just worked out lately that I have been able to go a lot and just wanted to know what is the average number of times you hit the lake.

I have been to the lake 5 out of the last 6 days. But before there was about 2 weeks I wasn't able to just to much going on.

Chug Bug reply :

I'm retired so I have zero commitments. I fish golf course ponds every evening and go out on my partners boat once a week. I know I have it comparatively good to most of you guys that have to try and make time to go. Sorry :'(

Gatorbassman reply :

I only work weekends so I get to go out 2 to 4 days a week.

cajun1977. reply :

usually 1 or 2 dqays a week

craigaria reply :

I try to get on the water everyday. I'd say most of the time I go 6 days a week, but on some of these days I go in the morning and in the evening. 8-)

basswagoner reply :

I fish my ponds usually a little everyday and hit the lake maybe once or twice a week. It costs so much to take out the fishing boat. Gotta love the great gas prices. I guess I could always use the old johnboat and let the johnson 115 rest.

Rebbasser reply :

At least every other week if not every week. Wish I could get out more often.

SimonSays reply :

I try to hit this nice kayaking river/stream close to my place atleast once a week, fishing from a kayak is a heck of a lot of fun!

burleytog reply :

Not as much as I would like. Varies according to the weather and life's necessities. I try to take the boat out at least once a week. Isn't unusual for me to go out 3 times during my 6 days off. Try to go out at least one morning after work during my 8 days on.

My workplace is only 40 yards from a small river, I try to fish 2-3 evenings at work during my 8 day shift.

I'm always ready to go though.

Craw reply :

I live in the New River Valley in Va. and I'm lucky to have 2 rivers and a lake within 15min. of my house. I work at least 40hrs. a week on swing shift so I mostly fish on the weekends. I've been furloughed from work now for almost a month so I've been almost everyday(everynight). I'm broke as a convict but I love all the fishing time!

Bass Smacker reply :

I'm out about once a week some times twice for about 2 hours. Then one all day trip once a month.

I work nighty shift so its hard to balance family, work and fishing.

last summer I was out of work and I fished 3-4 times a week and spent lots off time with the wife and kids.

what reply :

not often enuff lol once a weak but usauly i fish one every two weeks

KenDammit28 reply :

usually once or twice a week..but this summer I've only been fishing 5 times...really sucks

spotaholic reply :

It is 3-4 times a week on average.

RobDar reply :

We go when there is time...which is not very often. I think if it were not for tournaments and being a tournament director, my boat would sit out in the yard and rot like our camper did.

Going fishing is a bit of a project though...no real close lakes, everything is a drive. I cannot just decide to go fishing because it is...at the best...a half of a day deal.

oh jeez...now I am depressed...LOL!

Bankbeater reply :

Once a week. Sometimes twice a week if there is nothing else going on.

Bassassasin12 reply :

Every day, being a kid is great!

Tom Bass reply :

2-3 times a work week. When I am off I go more.

Matt Jungblut reply :

between work kids wife price of gas

its funny where i used to live i went just about every day was a few blocks from the river

but moved because the town was gettin crazy and did want my youngest growing up there

Live it up man...and enjoy it. I think this is a great thing for you to spend you time doing.

x-trued reply :

My son and I take the boat out about 3 times a month. We shoot for every Saturday, but that just isn't always possible. I wish I could go more, but life's responsibilities call sometimes, you know?

NEBassMan reply :

Get the little 2 man boat out everyweekend on the farm pond. 2-3 times a week bank fishing the different ponds/small lakes around here after work. I should start getting up early and going before work so it's not so hot, but i love to sleep ;D

Jason

x-trued reply :

Hey, LBH, I am waiting with great anticipaton to see you response to this post. Is seems like you live on the water. I am most envious.

lubina reply :

2-4 times a week...year around

CoRy reply :

I get out there whenever I can. I have been busy with football and the county fair is going on this weekend. When I go its usually in the evenings.

Hale reply :

I try to get out about 5 days a week (the wife just loves that!!! >)

BucketmouthAngler13 reply :

i have fished 9/10 days this summer. (and for over 3 hours a day. 11 hours being my record)

cgs2004 reply :

When I'm away from home at college I try to get out at least once a week.

When I'm back home I fish the lake we live on multiple times every day, an outing may last 5 minutes to 2 hours.

Captain Cali reply :

2-4 times per week, 52 weeks per year.

4 is rare but I go at least 2 times per week.

Live it up. If i was a kid agene I'd fish every day to .

SBM-RL reply :

Ive fish probably 6 or 7 times a week but i dont go everyday i just fish more than once some days it also depends on if i get of work early or not sucks having to support yourself and your fishing.

Vekol reply :

At least once a week during the spring/summer/fall. I've fished three days in a row this weekend though. It's been a great weekend.

56 crestliner reply :

IM a kid so whenever the rivers low i go out fishing . I also will got to old corries. and on the weekends that my mom lets us me and dad go out to lake erie in our boat.

Zebco202 reply :

Once or twice a week usually. Sometimes more, sometimes less. When fall gets here that number will probably drop down to two or three times a month. I'm a football addict and have a hard time leaving the couch on Saturday and Sunday. If I go I like to stay for awhile, 5-6 hours at least.

Amen, brother! I get out maybe twice a week, on average for maybe five hours at a time. It's usually in my kayak, which takes all of fifteen minutes to load up on the car. No gas to pay for, and when you hook a lunker you get a free ride!

guest reply :

1 to 2 times a month. Between family and work, that doesn't leave much time to fish, but I don't mind. I love spending time with my wife and little girl. Thats better than fishing to me.

senile1 reply :

I average once or twice a week.

Wildbillb reply :

Hey LBH,

I have been waiting for you to chime in on this post. Are you trying to avoid it or what?

He's fishing.

TLBassin reply :

I was going 2-3 times a week, until gas went WAY up. With the lake being a solid 30 minutes away, making it once a week is doing good around work and other things. Right now I just cant afford to go as much, but one of these days, Ill be out there all the time!!!! ;D

ejtaylor822 reply :

As much as the wife will let me ;D

Seriously, we have a pond on the back of our land that I hit at least 3 or 4 times a week. Look to get on some of the larger lakes and rivers around here, but, just can't seem to find the time. The pond is awfully convenient with some nice bass in it.

Eddie

titelinez reply :

I'm pretty much in the same boat as ejtaylor822 as far as the wife goes. I try to get to the lake at least once a week. When I can't make it to the lake I'll go fishing off the local wharf which has been happening once a week also. It's never enough

volman33 reply :

it depends on what ive got goin on...if i dont have nothin to do for a whole week then ill usually go bout 4-5 days also dependin on the weather...if im workin then ill go one or twice a week...i go every frida,saturday,and sunday in the summer

Laineisbosshog reply :

once or twice a week, if i had my choice it would be everyday

Troutfisher reply :

I'd safely say that I go about once every two weeks.

wacky rig reply :

summer and winter - once a week

spring and fall - twice a week

George Welcome reply :

About 320-340 of the calendar days - daylight til 2-3 PM. Most often that is with customers onboard, however when not booked we fish to stay current with locations and conditions. That equates to 8000+ hours for me, and an equal number for my Son and partner Scott. Can you imagine, 16,000+ hours of observable bass fishing per year?

Bud reply :

Every day since Ky lake is only 3 min away.

biteme reply :

About five days a week. I dont get the boat out much. Gas alone in the Hemi is killing me just to bank fish!!

Whopper-Stopper reply :

Every day at 4:00 am.

Wow! retired at 39. is your last name Gates?

Rattlinrogue reply :

2-3 times a week right now.When the fall bite gets here I'll try to go more.

FALCON reply :

I FISH EVERY DAY. USUALLY 4-5 DAYS IN THE BOAT AND WHEN MY SPINE IS ACTING UP I'LL JUST FISH IN MY CANAL.

Hula Popper reply :

I live within walking distance of 3 good ponds, so I try to fish at least every other day.

Exactly.

jake reply :

Atleast 2 - 3 times a week.

GAMEOVER reply :

Every single day I fish. I fish the four 20+ year old man made ponds located directly in my apartment complex that have awesome (6lb) Michigan Largemouth Bass. Then when ever I get a chance I want to go to Lake Erie, Lake St.Clair, and the Detroit River, sadly I havent been there yet this summer but those three bodies of water all connect and were talking about some of the very BEST small/largemouth fishing in the country maybe even the world. Just go look at those bodies of water on a map. They're loaded with Bass! Although Lake St.Clair USE to have a 5lb avg smallmouth it now has 4lb but hey who wouldnt kill for a 4lb smallie AVG year round? The river and expeically Erie has some Bass that will blow your mind in size! Oh I wanna go so bad now..

Hooked On Bass Fishing reply :

I go to ponds everytime i get a chance. I am very busy though so not as much as i like. I play football wrestle and baseball so i dont get to go as much as i like but im not wrestlin this year so maybee more fishin in the winter

BassKing813 reply :

About once every week or two.

BLUESKY reply :

Fish from shore at the river for smallies 2-4 times a week, take the boat out fishin for fun couple times a month, so far this year 7 tournaments, prefished 4 of those. Two more tournaments to go this month and then the fall classic next month, after that back to fishing for fun. Last year we had fairly warm weather through the middle of Dec. and I managed to go down to the river for an hour or 2 every afternoon and the S/M fishing was fantastic, 20 - 30 fish every afternoon untill the real cold weather hit, sure hope that repeats this year.

Mak reply :

i go every single day, usually about 3 times a day. around 10 in the morning, then if im home doing nothing in the afternoon and then at night.

janalon reply :

2 days a week my friend and my lady is there with me.

And you gotta like that!
