How Far Do You Travel To Fish?

[Revival]

I do realize that a lot of you fish different places but just curious to know how far or how long does it take you to get to the places you fish most often?

 

For me it takes 30 minutes with no traffic.  With traffic it can take up to 45 minutes.  I wish the ponds weren't so far so i could fish more often.

[Felix77]

About 30 - 45 minutes for my favorite spots too.

I can walk across the street and catch bluegills, closest pond with bass in the 4 pound plus range is maybe 2 minutes driving with a 5 minute walk. Fatherest I go is about 20 minutes.

[annexation]

I'm fortunate to live near a very productive mill pond in town; two minute drive, tops. Other decent locations are 10 minutes out. If I ever get a boat, there are a ton of nice lakes within the half hour sphere and some larger ones beyond that.

1hr with no traffic to my home lake. 50min with no traffic to the ramp on Lake Michigan (Chicago) Same ride could be 2 1/2hrs with traffic.

So where in LV do you fish. When I lived there I didn't fish, just curious if any of the golf course ponds or desert shores have fish or you go to lake mead? I recently saw Tule Springs but didn't ever hear of it when I lived out there is it new?

I fish at Floyd Lamb Park (Tule Springs).  I just started fishing there couple months ago but I dont believe its new.  I have yet to fish at Lake Mead as I am still trying to research it for the best places to shore fish.  Lake Mead is also 45 minutes away.

1hr to get to my home lake, about 20 mins to fish the river which is where i mostly fish in july and 3hrs to fish cave run lake or cherokee lake which i fish about 2 or three times a year each

[Tim1212]

Its a 6 minute bike ride to a lake which have like 4lb and over bass there, and a 10 minute ride to my secret ponds.

[Fishes in trees]

A round trip to my current favorite lake is 126 miles.  I could cut that by a few miles, but when I am pulling my boat pre-dawn and after dark, I try to stay on paved roads with wide shoulders as much as possible.  I am an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours from Truman to the closest decent ramp.  (Bucksaw Point)  It is another 20 minutes or so to Long Shoal.

[Wayne P.]

Favorite waters are 1 hour, 1 1/2 hours, 10 hours and 17 hours.

Closest is about 100 feet.

[MarkH024]

Family lake house is a shade under 3 hours for me. I fish areas with in 1 hour travel time of there.  In IL, I fish shore bound fox river 15-20 minute driving distance or Lake Michigan 50 min to 2 hours....depending on the dreadful traffic.

[aquaholic]

closest is probably about 10 mins, but ill go up to an hour or more to fish new spots.

[00 mod]

My two main spots I fish are 40 mins and 1hr 45 mins. respectively. There are ponds closer but the closest boatable lakes are all 40 mins +

I live about 1/8th of a mile from my home lake takes longer to hook the boat up than the drive to the ramp lol

[Gavin]

Usually 1-2 hours one way for a day trip. If the drive is longer than that, I'll spend at least 3 days.

[AK-Jax86]

Furthest I go is about 35-40 mins but all my everyday spots are all within 5 mins of my house.

I am taking a trip to Daytona this weekend and I am going to do some fishing

[lmbfisherman]

I am fortunate to have lots of bodies of waters to fish where I live.  We have a river that goes through the city I live in, takes about 5 minutes to get to.  A conservation area that is free if you walk in or you can get in from other public areas of the reservoir (10 mins).  2 man made ponds (10 mins), 20 mins away is another lake and river north of us, another 20 mins west is another river (one of the better river systems), ponds there...and 20 mins south west of us, two lakes and a back wood pond that I keep to myself.  Lots of opportunities for me, but my two favorite is the local reservoir and ponds because they are so close. I want to do more river fishing, but I haven't done that yet.  Really need to do some scouting with my canoe. 

[tholmes]

The community lake that I fish the most is about 10 min. from my house and just a few blocks from my office. I occasionally make the 1.5 hr drive to any one of four larger reservoirs in the area.

[aqualkinbush]

i usually fish a pond about 20 minutes from the house but I have no problem driving 1.5-2hrs to go fish one of the 5 big lakes/reservoirs near me or even the 6 or 7 80-150 acre lakes.

[loodkop]

Up to a 3 hour drive for 1 day tournaments. Longer drives I would rather sleep over than tow the boat home after a full day of fishing.

[RAMBLER]

15 minutes to the St. John's River, but have to fish when the tide is right.  Other than that as far away as an hour drive.  There are small lakes all over here, but some of the ones I fished have dried up.

[B@ssCrzy]

5 minutes for the ponds I fish, 15 min for my home lake, 8hrs for my favorite lake. 

[Goose52]

I only fish my local neighborhood lakes; closest is 2 miles, farthest is 6 miles.  Smallest pond I fish is about 1.5 acres, the biggest lake I fish is 200+ acres.

[plumworm]

10 minutes to the mouth of the Fox river/lower Green Bay. An hour to the upper bay. So far this year I've made a trip to Ky. lake 1300 mi round trip and 2 trips to the Mississippi river pools 9/10 . 500 mi. round trip. Leaving tomorrow for another 10 day attack on the Mississippi river bass population.
