boostr Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 To have to wait a week to go fishing again because of work? (do not post if you are retired ) Fishing is like going surfing, it takes all your worries away Brah! Quote
boostr Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Wow, everybody likes waiting? Ever since I caught my 1st bass I can't stop thinking about it. it's like bass crack. Its calling my name man! It's more addicting than saltwater fishing. I think it is the thrill of the hunt. This is a sophisticated type of fishing to me . Quote
fishguy613 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 i am totally addicted, this is my first serious year. literally if i have 8 hours before a shift ill drive an hour to my lake just to fish for a little lol, then drive back. do it all the time Quote
Brian Brazier Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I caught my first 4lb LM a week ago, been running to the lake every chance I get since then, I dont think I could wait a week right now, I would be climbing the walls. Ever see the King Of The Hill episode called Jumpin Crack Bass? 1 Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted October 18, 2013 Super User Posted October 18, 2013 I hate waiting to fish. I work 6 days a week so I try to go out early in the mornings before work. I usually get out 2-3 times a week so it doesn't bother me much but a guy I work with only gets to fish once every 2 weeks. I couldn't do it. Quote
fishguy613 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 @brian brazier heck yes, i tell ya whut i am a die hard KOTH fan, that episode is great!! Quote

Ever see the King Of The Hill episode called Jumpin Crack Bass? Best episode ever. Liked it before I started fishing and then after I started it made it that much better. Quote
boostr Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 I wish I had time to go fishing before work, I get up 5am to catch the 5:48 train to the city, and i don't get home till 6p. By 6p its already getting dark. If I had started fishing around August and September I would of had alot more light. The good thing though is that I have a three day weekend every other week, and on the Fridays I do work I get out a hour early. So Im gonna see if I can get to my local pond today when I get home, and then I have saturday and Sunday ofcourse. Quote
boostr Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Like to see how far this thread goes, you get to find out peoples fishing habits. Quote

gallowaypt Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I have to go at least twice a week. That episode is my favorite as well. It was the very 1st episode I think. Quote
BigBassBarry Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I am spoiled I have a pond in my back yard. I fish at least one time a day. I also have 7 lakes and 4 rivers that are at max 45 miles away. 1 Quote
tholmes Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I'm fortunate to have a couple of small community lakes within 10 minutes of my house. One of them is also about 2 minutes from my office. I fish there during my lunch break (weather permitting) almost every day. The 6+ pounder in my avatar came on one of these noon fishing trips. I also fish for a couple of hours in the evening a couple of times a week. Tom Quote

Im gonna try some evening fishing... Hmmm, got to find out what the hours are at the pond in the park by my house. Quote

Super User Montanaro Posted October 18, 2013 Super User Posted October 18, 2013 It can suck but i get out in the evenings ocassionaly. Quote
einscodek Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Sometimes I get bored of it.. I mean is that all there is? Tempt, catch, look, release.. rinse and repeat.. bigger the better. Sigh... Then I get over that pretty quickly and look for another opportunity to go fish! Wooohooo Quote
boostr Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 You would think it would get boring, but its different every time even if it is in the same location every time. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted October 18, 2013 Super User Posted October 18, 2013 Being retired sucks too I get to go everyday trying to predict the spawn and post spawn when the bigger gals come off the beds. Just as the bite starts to pick up My misses wants to go on vacation. Since she is the bread winner I can say no. It's no picnic being retired. But I fish through the prespawn, spawn, and post spawn right until the hot weather comes. When I was working we fished every night after work 24/7. The misses walked the dogs while we fished. When I first tried using senkos and the bite was on the misses wanted to go on vacation. Bummer I was up to 9/10 bass per outing from shore. I hated leaving my bass fishing when the bite is on and the numbers are up. Bill Quote
Bassfink86 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I try to go fishing at least three times a week, I get out at 2:30 and I don't have to pick up my kids til 6:00 on two of the days that I work so I go fishing till a quarter after five those days then I have one day all to myself while they are in school and that day is like heaven I get to fish from 7:00 a.m. till 5:15 p.m. I have about ten ponds on base that I frequent and five or six different lakes within 20 minutes, winter is startin to close in here in jersey though so there may not be a whole lot of time left to fish Quote
Super User bigbill Posted October 18, 2013 Super User Posted October 18, 2013 I have to add this every time I stopped fishing to go on vacation we went to Maine. My first stop was the Kittery Trading Post in Kittery,Maine. They have tons of freshwater and saltwater fishing gear, there gun shop, besides all the quality clothes and boots/shoes for any occasion. There fly shop is top notch too. If your into all the outdoor sports there plan on spending a day there. We would drive up the coast to LLBEAN too. My point is leaving bass fishing behind does have its perks. I love the Maine way of life. Bill Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I have to go at least twice a week. That episode is my favorite as well. It was the very 1st episode I think. i dont even think it was the first season. i think the first episode was when child services were trying to take bobby from hank and peggy... Quote
fishguy613 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 love how hank always gives the fish a worm after he catches it lol, what a great guy Quote
Super User bigbill Posted October 18, 2013 Super User Posted October 18, 2013 I fished with a guy who stuck a live minnow in each bass he caught mouths just before he released it while saying thanks for biting. Quote
gallowaypt Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 i dont even think it was the first season. i think the first episode was when child services were trying to take bobby from hank and peggy... Good call, you're right! Yeah, that was the first one and a good one too. Quote
