Starting Another 7 Months

[BIGFISH.JZ]

Today is my first day back to work, fixing and rigging boats. I don't think I could handle working 12 months/year. Having 5 months to deer hunt and ice fish is something I enjoy very much. How many of you have seasonal jobs that let an outdoorsman get a chance to be outdoors, and what do you do?

I am semi retired and spend my spring and summer working at a golf course. I love my job but really enjoy my deer hunting and ice fishing. I am looking forward to turkey hunting next week!

Good for you Bigfish JZ. 

 

That’s a situation I can’t even comprehend.  I’m one of the 50 hour/week crowd.  5 weeks of vacation built up doesn’t really mean a thing.

Yeah, you get back from vacation and the work just piled up while you were gone. Vacation only pauses it for a while but then you have to work that much harder upon return.

It is rough, working all day then fishing after work till 10-11 usually. Sometimes I decide to go out fishing before work instead. I prefer my winter schedule of sleeping all day and fishing crappie, walleye or pout all night. Sometimes I'll do 20 on/12 off, where I fish for 20 hours straight and sleep for 12 hours. I fish harder than most people work..  it's not always easy but it's the life I choose!! House is paid for and firewood is free, otherwise things would probably be a little different. Fishing is more like an addiction than a hobby. If I wasn't good at it, things would probably be different too. I avoid activities that I'm not good at... Hmm... Also try to avoid activities that aren't 'fishing'. It's tougher than one would think.
