Fishdeer Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 How many hours do you spend on an outing, on a day of fishing? People think im crazy and there is something wrong with me , they say im like the only one to enjoy fishing as much as i do . Im just trying to prove a point that im not the only one. I like to spend 4 to maybe 6 hours on a day of fishing. like on the weekend saturday and then if there biting again on sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherman7 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I spend atleast 6 hours out there everytime I go out there. Its usually my friends that wanna leave first I love just sitting out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishin789 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Wow 4 to 6 hours is a short day for me. when I go out I tend to stay all day and sometimes into the night. My normal days fishing are more like 10 to 16 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fever Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 When I can get out I'm usually out for 2-4 hours. I tend to fish within 30-45 min drive from home. My wife and I have three kids 4,3,and my son turned 2 today... That is why my outings are rather brief. However I do get out 2-3 times a week during the school year and about 5 times a week during the summer as I am a teacher and have summers off. Occationally I'll get out on a weekend excursion or an entire day event. I never personally get tired of wetting the line. Can't wait to retire in 34 years....

jigging-matt Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I tend to make my outings in the 6-8 hour range, unless my 4 year old daughter wants to tag along. Then they usually end up somewhere around 3-4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wplatehunter Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I agree that kids can cut your time down on the lake. I have a 19 month old son who I take out with me. I can get any where from 2-3 hrs out of him, and thats good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnUpTheFishing Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 It depends, If I have the whole day open I may spend the whole day on the lake. If I have other things to do I may just go out for 2-3 hours for the evening bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleasant Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 When I am able to go, I do go for usually 4 days at a time, but I am one of the fortunate ones that is on the ice only a few hundred yards from my lake place so I spend at least ten hours a day on the ice when there.

federline Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 3 hours would be a short outing. 4-6 is usual, 7-8 if I'm enjoying myself. 24+ in the sleeper sometimes (and I mean IN the sleeper, no patrolling). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PERCHJR Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Whenever possible sunrise to sunset no matter if they are biting or not it's just fun to be out there!!! Perchjr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Around home approx 4-5 hours. If I am out of town then approx 10-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishingforester Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Usually 6-10 hours during a weekend day, depending on "perceived" responsibilties at the house. My wife thinks I need to work on my perception abilities... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcticcat400 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 probably around 4-5 in the portable and in the wheelhouse its not uncommon for me to spend the entire weekend if the fishing is decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Wettschreck Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I stay on the lake as long as I possibly can. Or until I run outta beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances with Walleye Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 For me, as a guy who is engaged, and has no children, I don't even bother to considering going if it isn't at least for 6 hours at a shot... 8-9 is the average... 10 is not unheard of... I've got several 12's under my belt... .And of course if I'm with my buddy in the sleeper on Mille Lacs is usually a non stop 3 day weekend.

Jeremy airjer W Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Every Sunday I head out around 6am and pack up around noon. If the wife takes the boys out of town then its sat and sun from sun up to sun down! Or until I run out of propane!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassNspear Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I hate the feeling that your going to run out of propane. Especialy on a very cold day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulinraymondville Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I try to make a day of it. When I go with my buddy we fish 10 to 12 hours. When the wife and my 5yr old girl go we spend anywhere from 4 to 8 hours on the ice. It all depends on the little one alot of times she requests to go fishing.

sakazulu Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 My propane ran out Saturday in my flip up at 5:45pm. The high wind just robbed me blind with my new Big Buddy heater. Lesson learned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
