After ice out i will usually shore fish before work and then go back out again in the evening with my kayak. I will do this until late in the fall.I have been known to go out 2-3 times a day on a day off if the fish are biting or its nice out.I have never kept a fishing log to keep an accurate count but my sister in law commented to my wife once that "There is no way he can be fishing all this time ,nobody likes fishing that much"
