Most consecutive days? 2025
Ksam1234 reply :
Was just out on the canoe and was wondering to myself. How often does everyone fish? Or what is there most consecutive days fishing if they ever counted.
Catt reply :
How often do I fish varies, sometimes 3 or 4 days a week, some weeks not at all, & some weeks 4 or 5 days.
Most conservative days, I've had several trips of up 17 days straight. When I got divorced back in 1982 I spent 2 month at duck camp back in a marsh hunting & fishing every day.
Todd2 reply :
I'm lucky to get out once a week with everything going on...but it's honestly more than most guys I fish with.
The most consecutive would be about 4 or 5, those are long 8 hours or more, that we do on our KY lake trip in the Spring. By day 4 I'm usually feeling it pretty good.
IndianaFinesse reply :
I fish between two and seven days a week, usually averaging out at about five days a week. I've never counted, but my most consecutive days with time on the water is very roughly 40-50. When I say time on the water, it doesn't mean that I was able to fish all day. Often I can only get out for a couple hours.
Scarborough817 reply :
normally 1-2 days a week i try to take advantage of the limited season we have up here so i branch into pike in the spring to get out as early as possible, though i do take at least a week of in the summer or fall to spend at the cottage by myself and fish as much as humanly possible
Rollincoal420 reply :
I'm averaging 6-7 days a week. I'm lucky enough to get off work early enough to get a couple hrs in each day during the week. And push for a 6hr day on the weekends. That doesn't mean I'm catching. Lol. I'm averaging 1-2 a Week if I'm actually catching.
That being said, this pattern has been going on since mid July, and I can say, my 2 hrs each week day has been less and less exciting and I find myself getting to hot headed when things start heading south. (Snags, backslashes, and whatnots) it used to be everything I can do not to stay over my designated time limit, lately it's been a struggle to make it long enough to reach my time limit.
Troy85 reply :
I try to go at least once a week. In the summer when the days are longer I'll go after work and fish Wednesday evening tournaments near me. Most consecutive is probably 7, usually when me my dad, bro and cousins go on fishing vacations.
CroakHunter reply :
I only fish hard 2 times a year. I may get out and fish for over 2 hrs, 5 times a year.
BuzzHudson19c reply :
I go twice a week for around 8hrs each day. I have a 2 month old at home so that's all I can swing without the Mrs getting angry.
I take a week off from work every year just to fish. Last year I managed to fish 10 days straight and a few were sun up until sun down.
Steveo-1969 reply :
This year I've tried to fish either Saturday or Sunday each week, though between bad weather, high water level in the river and home obligations that hasn't always happened.
The only chance I get to fish consecutive days is our annual Kentucky Lake fishing vacation. Then it's 6 days of 12+ hours on the water each day.
roadwarrior reply :
Weather permitting, every day on local ponds, Saturday on big water. Then I have four big trips
and a couple of trout outings on the White River. Toledo Bend this spring was a first and probably
an extended trip to Pickwick this fall.
Next April several members and I are planning a trip to Table Rock. I you are interested in joining
us...YOU'RE INVITED!
fishwizzard reply :
I am real hot/cold when it comes to time, I am usually slammed with work or traveling for a few weeks at a time and will not make it out at all. Then I come home and fish every day for a week or three before the cycle starts up again. I am trying to shift my work to be heaviest in the dead of winter and summer, but am having limited luck so far.
Sword of the Lord reply :
I fish every Friday evening, Saturday morning or evening, and Sunday morning. I've fished Monday and Tuesday this week and I'm going after work today as well. That just leaves Thursday and I'll probably fish then too.
RichF reply :
While my girlfriend was in law school in DC, I lived back in our hometown in northern NY. During those years, I fished 8-10hr days 3 days a week from late March to the end of November. That included upwards of 20 tournaments a year. Since the move to Arlington, VA (almost 2 yrs), I'm down to fishing maybe 15 to 20 times, half of which are tournaments. I need more time on the water.
Ksam1234 reply :
Nice to hear how everyone does ! During the summer I was going out in the mornings prob 4-5 days a week but eventually the misses stArts getting upset after never being home. So I keep it around 2 days a week now. Once on a weekday for 5 hours in he early morning. Then on a weekend I'll fish or try to fish from sunup to sundown ! Never gets old @Sword of the Lord @roadwarrior @BuzzHudson19c @Catt @IndianaFinesse

The Bassman reply :
Since getting on to a few ponds close by I get out pretty much daily. Some guys unwind with a beer after work. I prefer to wrestle with a few bass. Mellows me a bit before the wife gets home.

Bass_Fishing_Socal reply :
Normally 3 short days a week but if weather is right I can stretch to 5 days but those are in 2-4 hours trip. I just started seriously bass fishing last year when I met my fishing buddy and I works 6 days a week so the most we do was 1 day 10 hours.
fishballer06 reply :
I've done a week straight on a few trips to Canada, and in the past few years, I've spent 9-11 days up there.
Even at 29, my shoulders and wrists start to feel it after that many days on the water casting and fighting fish. I could only imagine what someone twice my age feels after that many days on the water in a row.
CybrSlydr reply :
Going to school full-time and working part-time, I usually get out once/week. Maybe twice if I've got a wild hair.
This weekend I'll be heading up to Hoover Reservoir with my brother, see if we can FINALLY catch a darn smallmouth. 
Sword of the Lord reply :
I think the fact that my bass thumb hasn't fully healed in months says a lot.
Bassfishin91 reply :
I try to make out at least 1-2 times a week. I used to average 4-7 times a week with my previous job schedule and be out there for 3-4 hours bank fishing several canals. The most consecutive amount that i went out was 14 days straight and catching a few dinks at least every day. Wish i was able to fish like i used too.
the reel ess reply :
I try to fish once a week but life and weather happen. I often fail. During winter that trails way off because I mostly kayak fish. When it's cold I go with a buddy in his boat.
When I was a kid my family had a lake house where we spent most of our vacations. I would fish every day, several times a day when we were there. Even catfishing at night.

I know what you mean. It gets so raw that you dread lipping them because you just know they're gonna shake.
everythingthatswims reply :
Starting last year, the family beach vacation is 14 days, and I fish hard every day. My brothers and I are zombies by the end of it but we keep going.
Regardless of weather, fishing conditions, or anything, I don't think I ever fish less than 3 days a week. Usually 5 or more.
StrikePrince reply :
only 4 days in a row for me. Fishing out of a kayak I definitely feel it, physically, but only afterwards. I can do like 10-12 straight hours and while I'm in the kayak on the water the fatigue doesn't get me, only after getting home or loading it up.
DogBone_384 reply :
I'm lucky. My FD schedule lets me work two jobs and still get out once or twice a week, especially when the rest of the family is at school or work. When the second job slows I sometimes get out three days straight. I don't fish weekends, that's family time.
My kayak is on my ladder rack from April to October-ish.

Absolutely! I get up for work at 5am. There are times I will get up at 4am and hit a pond for an hr before work. My buddies think I'm nuts, but it makes the day so much easier.
WCWV reply :
I work 10 days on and 4 off, so usually I get out 2 of my days off and fish form daylight till dark, usually year around, unless we have a bad winter, I spend the other 2 days getting my work done.
Consecutive, is around 8 to 13 days around 3 times a year when we camp on the lake.
Getting ready to go on our 12 day last camp of the year.

Yeah same here but kind of reversed, I work second shift so I work 4 pm till midnight, so I'll go home and get to bed by 1 am and wake up at 4:30 to get some fishing in for sunrise. I love early mornings Bc nobody is ever out and the fish are always biting.

MI.Kayaker reply :
106 this year. Missed 4 days since May 10th.
Gundog reply :
Mostly I fish on the weekends but during spring and fall I get out more. Most consecutive days would be 10. 7 on a fishing trip to Black Lake, NY and 3 days directly after that because it was fall and the smallies on the river were biting big time.

How was black lake? Produce anything big
Bluebasser86 reply :
I use to fish 300+ days a year before I was married with kids. Now it's probably closer to 100 days a year. I keep rods in my car and have a 45 minute drive back and forth to work each day, and I drive past several bodies of water in doing so. Combine that with the fact that I work nights, so I'm driving past these bodies of water in the morning when the bite is often at it's best, I do a lot of quick 15-30 minute stops to try the high percentage areas.
scaleface reply :
I use to fish almost every day . I had a Dodge panel van and I put rod racks in it. When I got off work I'd go fishing . I hit a lot of irrigation ditches and lakes formed by levees on the Mississippi river . Lots of big bass in those spots . I had good balance in those days and use to tightrope down concrete culverts , flip a jig and land 5 to 7 lb bass consistently and never fell in . LOL
How many days consecutively , I have no idea but it was a lot .

Black lake was great. We fished it in late September and the smallies were fat and fighting. The first fish I hooked into had to be in the 4-5 pound range unfortunately I didn't get him to the boat. He jumped twice and threw the hook. Not only were the fish big but there was a lot of them. Not just smallies but largemouths as well. Wish I could go back every year. If you get a chance to go, go.

That sounds awesome! I live in western NY so it's not that far of a drive for me , maybe. 3/12 -4 hours. I'll have to try it out someday!
NYWayfarer reply :
On the kayak, once a week. Twice if I am lucky.
I can pond fish a few days a week. I got skunked there twice last week and have not been back since.
I have had 44 outings since I started fishing this year on 4/15/17 That's the outings that produced fish. I don't count the ones where I catch nothing or you could add about 10 more to the list.
papajoe222 reply :
Throughout the main fishing season up here, I'm on the water three or four times a week. That hasn't changed much in the last ten years. What has changed is the amount of time I'm actually on the water. My outings have gotten shorter, so I'm actually spending the equivalent of one less day compared to gen years ago.
Ksam1234 reply :
I also should have made a " how many times has the wife/girlfriend stopped you" page lol
soflabasser reply :
I have fished a week in a row several times in my life but not much longer than that. As much as I love fishing it can be a bit too much if its all I do for fun. I have other hobbies and I like to give them time as well.
Jerryj33 reply :
I just moved cross country, and have been waiting for my start date at my job, which is the 25th. I've fished every day since arriving here on the 5th. That makes 20 days straight for me right now.
ww2farmer reply :
During our "season"...IE when the lake is not covered in ice, I probably average 3 times a week, and at the end of each season my boat has usually hit the water 100+ times. I used to fish A LOT during rainy weather, and the periods after rain where it was too wet to get into the fields when I worked on the farm, and unless it was a slow period between plantings and/or harvesting times rarely did I get to fish much during "nice" weather. And 80% of my trips when I worked there were short evening trips after work, or all day trips when I could fit them in, but there was never any set times to it.
With my new job, this is my fishing routine:
I fish almost every Sunday, sun up to sundown from late March/early April to mid/late Nov.
When there is enough daylight to go after work, usually mid April - late Sept. I go at least once a week, but sometimes 2-3 times a week for 2-4 hours a trip.
I have Thursday's off, and fish from sun up to sun down almost every time.
When I work on Sat., it's generally a 1/2 day, and I spend most Sat. afternoons/evenings after work fishing. If I don't work on Sat. I will be out there from sun up to sun down.
I will not fish at ALL during the winter. And I will not fish if we have family events/etc...
geo g reply :
I have fished everyday for months at a time, without a day off. I fish from the boat on weekends and from the bank during the week. I am surrounded by man made lakes and fish a different lake almost everyday. Fishing is my therapy, and my form of mental relaxation. Put on my ear buds, Pandora, and its just me and the fish. Any stress from the day just melts away. It just doesn't get any better then that!
gimruis reply :
Between May - October, I try to get out about twice a week for several hours. I don't ice drink so December - March is my off season. I deer hunt in November and turkey hunt in April.
The most consecutive days I have fished this season is 3 but that's because it was a holiday weekend and we had rainy weather that kept recreational traffic off the lake. The weather usually dictates how often I fish because I target days with inclement conditions, otherwise I often get run off the lake by recreational boats.
Some people like to jumble up their fishing into 2 or 3 long trips out of town. I prefer to scatter my fishing out throughout the entire season and go for 3-4 hours each trip. I'm lucky enough to have pretty good fishing within reasonable driving distance of my house but not everyone has that luxury.
WDE reply :
I usually go 3-4 times a week, often at least 3 days in a row depending how my work schedule plays out. Bite has been tough here with the water temps still being as high as they are, so my frequency has dropped a bit over the past couple weeks.
Raul reply :
6 months in a row I fished every single day ( yeah fellas, beat that one ! ), I took a sabatical semester after I finished Vet school.
Crappiebasser reply :
I have been on several 5-7 day trips where we fished hard everyday. Most consecutive days wetting a line is probably about 15 or so during the spring. I fish a lot of days a year just not consecutively.
Bankbeater reply :
I can usually get out all day on Saturday, or Sunday. Family stuff, and work, eat up the rest of my time.
BuzzHudson19c reply :
I'm on day 7 right now. This was supposed to be the fall feed week, but the weather has been wacky. Looking at being 90 degrees tomorrow (water temps holding in the high 60's). Still, vacation well spent.

Yeah. No kidding. It's way to hot lately, I'm excited for Thursday Bc it's supposed to be like 60 again. Can't wait
Rick Howard reply :
I just did 13 days. Fished for at least a few hours each of those days. I might go for 14 or I might just kick up my feet and hang around the house.
WRB reply :
I don't know? I lived lived on a lake that was 50' from the water edge and worked on a boat landing from age 12 to 18, the open fishing season was May 1st to Oct 1st and fished every day I could and have no ideal how many consecutive days I fished.
As a adult we did a annual Balboa to Cabo San Lucas fishing trip for 35 years that was 3 weeks fishing everyday we could, about 25 days consecutive or more.
I have bass fished for over 6 decades but not everyday.

Columbia Craw reply :
I don't fish week end days as a rule. I try to make it out once a week. My closest location's ramp has been in such bad shape I won't launch there anymore, which is a shame. I used to fish it three times a week. The most days in a row is eight on a trip to Clear Lake.

I am pretty fortunate. I live on the water. I can walk out my front door, grab my gear and go. So I am able to fish often. Sometimes it might only be for an hour sometimes all day. I'm pretty certain I've fished for More than 13 days before but never counted. These last two weeks I was "off" from work so it was easy to keep track.
bigbill reply :
Before my health went down hill I fished from the springtime till I got burned out. That's at least three months everyday up at 3:30am fishing by 4:00am home by 9:00am/10:00am eat sleep bed by8:00pm. Repeat for three months, a few vacation days inbetween with the misses. Being retired gave me more time to fish.
when I was working I fished week nights and weekends. But with most larger places were crowded at night. I found the bass in more numbers but smaller in size. Fishing in the early mornings a found the bass were bigger but less in numbers. Weird.
Dont forget im a shore fisherman. I can pickup and gun and run to other places nearby. My hot spots are local small bodies of water that people pass by.
i do regret catching my PB of 10lbs during my three months of fishing. It made bass fishing look easy. But I have seen and lost bigger bass since then. It makes me want to catch another bigger bass to up my PB. It's like a curse, I'm driven, I'm addicted. I wish it never happened, I was happy catching smaller bass. I can poke them but I just can't seem to land them. I know were they are. My favorite spot is a man made dam for old water power. It's a dog leg shape. I can just about cast the whole dog leg. The bigger bass at at the ankle in the pads. I want to break the state record now. We have nay Sayers here locally that we don't have big bass here. Big bass don't do the 9 to 5 day. From shore anyway. Put your time in, stay going, fish as much as you can.

My PB is just shy of 6 pounds so I'm hoping to break that soon! Your right it's addicting. Never knowing if there is anything bigger. The small lake I fish constantly produces big fish. Ever time I go out I usually catch 1-2 in he 4 pound range and 3-4 bass I. He 3 pound range. Always can count on those. So I know if there are lots of 4 pounder I'm sure here is a big momma in there 6+ pounds.
Senko lover reply :
I'm currently setting a record for most consecutive days without fishing. Not a fun time when you have to put the rods down because of life. But I'll be in the Blue Ridge Mountains this upcoming weekend and will be able to get some fishing in, so I'm really looking forward to that.
bigbill reply :
I hated to stop fishing to go on vacation but one vacation was to kittery trading post in kittery, Maine. Of course I spent money on fishing stuff. I just tried a c rigged senko for the first time with success the bass loved it then I left them for a few days. Bummer, the bass were post spawn and turning on. But fishing seven days a week did wear me out. I was buying anything new just to test it.
kickerfish1 reply :
Outside of fishing trips/vacations maybe once a week. Depends on time of year and my schedule. Usually no fewer than 2x per month.
BCline reply :
I had a 53 week stretch in between jobs in 2012-2013 and fishing my neighborhood pond is the only thing that kept me sane. I can count the number of days I didn't fish during that time on my fingers with several to spare. Now that I have rejoined the work force, I fish Monday-Friday during my lunch hour and usually once on the weekend.
SuperCorona reply :
When we first moved to SC about 7 yrs ago I fished a little pond on the property almost every day for 2 years. The only days I'd miss would be a couple Friday/Saturdays a month when we were at a BBQ competition. Now that we have a boat, my wife and I average 2 times a week and I get out at least another time by myself or with my son.
Next week we're headed to my sister-in-law's place outside Warrenton GA. Her neighbor maintains a very nice trophy pond that we can fish. I hope to get in 5 or 6 days uninterrupted.
