Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 7, 2013 Global Moderator Posted September 7, 2013 July 20 2013 005.jpg That's true but who will take the picture I have a small, bendable tripod and a timer on my camera that I can take a pretty good picture with. I can't remember the last time I went fishing by myself other than short trips after work or to poor lakes that I didn't want anyone else to have to suffer through. 1 Quote
derekxec Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 i ask when im not going to wade flats...if im going flats fishing i go alone or with someone else who already knows how to be silent and not splash around 1 Quote
Brian6428 Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Not too long ago. I have a friend that fishes so i invite him once in a while and I even got a friend who doesn't (didn't!!) fish into bass fishing over the summer. 1 Quote
Shane Procell Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 I invite friends whenever I get an opportunity to go fishing for myself. I like having a fresh face in the boat. I also like to share the South Florida fishing experience. But most of all......I do not like to fish alone. 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted September 7, 2013 Super User Posted September 7, 2013 Shane, do you want more friends? 2 Quote

Being from Montana seeing this might make a guy a little nervous! I've been in Mt. fishing a creek and have encountered Black Bears and Grizzly's, I'm thinking that might be about the same as a gator if you never encountered one before ? This might explain the ,"fresh faces", Ha ha ha !! Quote

derekxec Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 even if you have its sometimes scary haha...me and a friend fished jonathan dickinson park a couple years ago and a huge gator following us when i was trying to get a large snook in the boat lol...they see the splashing and think its feeding time 1 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted September 8, 2013 Super User Posted September 8, 2013 I like to fish alone. For several reasons, #1 I am anti-social. #2 I have grown quite weary of showing people "too much", #3 I don't like to have to feel responsible for the other guy catching fish, which I almost always feel like, so my fishing suffers. And #4...........much like #1 I am just a general a-hole, who is not friendly, short tempered, and if the fishing is slow.........I get worse. 2 Quote
Missourifishin Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I like to get in a good mix of fishing alone, and with others. I like the silence and solitude of fishing alone, but it can be too quiet after a while. Other times it's good to enjoy fishing and conversation with a good friend or family member. Last time I invited someone to go fishing was 2 weeks ago. I planned to do a lot of fishing alone this weekend, but I caught some kind of bug so I'm staying in bed instead Quote
JaxBasser Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I usually go alone but lately this 16 year old kid that lives a few places down from me has been tagging along a lot. He loves to fish and he seems to learn a lot and likes to learn so I'll usually ask him to come along whenever I go out and fish the ponds in the area. 1 Quote
Super User South FLA Posted September 8, 2013 Super User Posted September 8, 2013 I invite people all the time and sometimes they invite themselves. I invited some old geezer named Dwight, boy was that a mistake! 1 Quote

jessejames556 Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I too am not a fan of fishing alone. Just yesterday I took an Amish man and his two sons out to our local lake. I usually only fish for bass, but I worked to put them on bluegill all day. It was fun getting them out there where they can't usually go. Plus I owe it to him- he stores my boat in one of his barns for $25 a month! That's a steal in my area! 2 Quote
Lostinthewoods Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I don't mind fishing alone but my girlfriend frequently tags along. In turn she has caught the bug. This Tuesday I'm bringing my best buddy with me. He has not fished since he was a kid. He maintains that he is not all that interested. I think if he hooks a nice bass his tune will change! If he does catch anything I will be sure to snap a picture as proof of his enjoyment! 1 Quote
Lostinthewoods Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I only invite people who can withstand the awkward silence. I agree! To me the silence is anything but awkward though. Relaxing is more like it. Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted September 9, 2013 Super User Posted September 9, 2013 I invited a friend with whom I went to college with nearly 30 years ago earlier this Summer. We both work two jobs and have daughters of similar age so once or twice a month we go fishing for a couple hours, have a beer or two, and appreciate how lucky we are. 1 Quote
