Super User buzzed bait Posted August 2, 2013 Super User Posted August 2, 2013 any day i can put my rods to use rather than rigging them and tinkering in the living room or the garage.... I can honestly say that getting skunked does not bother me, some skunked days i just start exploring which leads to better fishing the next time out.... also, i say any day that you catch something aside from a bass.... i mean bass fishing is what it's all about, but if i catch a trout and a crappie and a catfish all while targeting bass it just gets me excited for that day's prospects Quote
Super User MCS Posted August 2, 2013 Super User Posted August 2, 2013 A good day for me is anytime I leave fishing feeling better than I did when I got there. Might not even catch fish, but I feel good just about being out there and doing it.....Now a bad day is one that eats at me, I know I messed this up or shoulda done that. Quote
moguy1973 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 A good day of fishing is when I get to go fishing. ^-----This! Quote
ToadTorcher Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Any day I catch 5 decent bass in less than 4 hours is a good day. If I'm fishing all day, 10+ is good for me! If I'm fishing the river for smallmouth, anytime I catch 20 is pretty good for me... but I've been spoiled this summer on two trips where we caught 60, than 86 the next day. Quote
B@ssCrzy Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 If I can catch a fish over 14" then that is a good day for me. Quote
Bassfishing375 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Any day of fishing is a good day of fishing. Quote
bgraham91 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 A bad day on the lake is better than a good at work. So as long as I make it to and from the lake safely, I've had a good day. 1 Quote
Curved Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 A good day is being near the water catching anything. Even sunfish on an ultralight is good for me. A great day is catching 5 SMB per hour and a fish fry for dinner. Quote
mddrew88 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 I was spoiled rotten by my pond earlier in the year. We couldn't pull fish out fast enough. I'm talking 15-20 fish by myself in about a 2 hour span. The LMB were even stealing our worms on bobs meant for the perch. I'd throw one out and set it down to go for my topwater rig and three times in a row I'd have to turn around and throw everything down to run to the other pole. You know it's a good day when you start getting irritated at having to run around chasing different fish on different rod setups. Now that things have slowed down a bit, I'm happy with about 2 fish of any type in a 4 hour window. Quote
mikeeasttn Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 A good day of fishing for me is when we go fishing and my grandson catches 3 or 4 fish and we return home safely. Quote
MrSwimJig Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 I consider any day of fishing a good day... Quote
SudburyBasser Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 I consider any day of fishing a good day... Couldn't have said it better. Quote
Dcheek Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 It's never about catching them for me (although I do enjoy it) the fun part for me is figuring out how to get them to bite! So to answer the question when the light bulb goes off and I have figured where and how that is what keeps me coming back! But as everyone says a day fishing is better than a day at work! Quote
BringItOn Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Any day that I am fishing is a good day!Exactly.I get excited if I only catch one fish. If I get skunked that just means I need to work harder and prepare better for the next time. I'm also a beginner at bass fishing so I'm easily impressed... Quote
The Young Gun Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 A good day of fishing is when I get to go fishing. Well said Quote
MK-9 Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Any day I'm out fishing that I don't break or lose something (rod, reel, lure...boat). Don't get me wrong, I love to catch but as long as I'm out there with a line in the water, I'm a pretty damned happy dude. Quote
FrogFreak Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Hmm at first I was going to say any day that I fish is good but I have to admit. If I catch em the way I love to catch em...on a top water frog, I am just a bit happier. I think the number of fish isn't as important as the percentage of hook ups I get on the frog. I've had some unlucky days where the bass slam my frog the moment I'm looking away or the moment I'm messing with my trolling motor etc. and I do get a bit grumpy........... Ah the heck with it, after further consideration, any day is a good day as long as I'm fishing!! Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted August 5, 2013 Super User Posted August 5, 2013 When my cell phone stays quiet, I improve myself or learn something new, and catch a couple of fish. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted August 5, 2013 Super User Posted August 5, 2013 A good day of fishing,, Let's see if I'm still on this side of the green it's a good thing. I get out before the sun comes up to witness two fawns being splashed by two freshwater otters as they try to get a drink. That's a good thing. But watching the sky start to light up then seeing the ball of fire come up its a good thing. But seeing a bass inhale my topwater lure its a good day to be alive and fishing. Topwater action you have to live it. Quote
