Bigbass37 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Going out and fishing can be fun every time but what would you consider to be you fun fishing trip. Small/big tournaments? No pressure fishing?? 1 Quote
Fish'N Impossible Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 To me fun fishing is when you just go out and wing it. Hit the water and have no real objective in mind as to finding a certain type of fish. Go out in the AM try to find some bass, break out the crappie/bluegill rod poke around, and just kinda glide around for the day. Work on the fishermans tan, talk to other boaters on the water and just all around have a fun no pressure day. 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 Fun fishing is when you are not fishing for money, just fishing for the fun of it. Tom 2 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 All fishing to me is fun. I haven't fished a formal tourney but i have done all types of fishing and the only one that doesn't really appeal to me is deep sea fishing....maynbe if i was on my own boat, finding the fish i would get more enjoyment but reeling in fish someone else found doesn't do it for me, even though the one tuna i caught was some good sushi at the boat dock Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 I am not a tournament fisherman so all fishing is fun for me. Some days are more fun than others based on results. It's not always about how good the fish catching is but but how good the experience is. 7 Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 Fishing with my 2 boys. This is the BEST of fun times! I did really like the small local money events I used to fish years ago. Those were still fun, nobody had Napoleon syndrome. The bigger Pro-Am semi pro regional stuff was not what I'd call a fun environment. All business, all the time. More stress than fun and very challenging. 2 Quote

basshole8190 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 A funn fish to me is the little 2lb'er who allmost snatches the rod out my hand and makes me think i got a hawg on the line lol those can be just as fun as an 8 lber or any time i hear my son say dadda "biggen" !!! They're all big to him. seeing that smile when he's getting his pic taken with his fish is just as good as as anything else i can think think of. 3 Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 I do nothing but fun fish, my target species does vary quite a bit. Once ya hit about 60 years of fishing and have a caught about everything from bluegill to marlin, as long as the rod has a bend it in it I'm having fun. Are there fish I think that are more fun than others......................OH YEAAHHHHHHHH ! 2 Quote
0119 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 All fishing is fun! Fishing with my best friend tops them all. Talking to me in "cracker" slang, telling me the time by just looking at the position of the sun. Telling me these long old jokes that have zero political correctness to them. Then when a school of Jacks or Snook go crazy frothing up the water, birds diving and we are catching them on every cast, getting out lines crossed even, laughing all the way. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 I love it all , tournament fishing in particular , it really makes you think a lot of the time and pressures you to do better , but there is no better time on the water than when you can spend that time with family especially when the family is having a great time , everything comes together , fishing and the bonds get stronger as a unit , no matter the troubles you have from within , they all seem to go away with a loaded rod . 1 Quote
IowaHusker28 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Fun fishing is just about anytime I'm out on the water, wether it be myself or with my buddies or my dad. I love it all, and I love the competitiveness of a tournament or some kind of competition. Catching that big bass/big bag in a tournament or in a friendly wager that is what really gets my heart going. About 95% of the time I am all about catching bass and going out there to catch the biggest and most but, I'll fish the crappie spawn or maybe some junk pond fishing. But If your catching fish with your friends and family theres never a bad time on the water! Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 True fun fishing to me is when I am out alone messing around with different baits and trying to catch fish. No agenda, just working different stuff. The excitement of catching something on a new bait or technique is a blast! I enjoy tournament fishing but it's not as much fun as what I mentioned. 1 Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 It's all "fun" fishing! If I'm perch jerking with my grandkids or fishing a tournament. If it appears that I am ignoring you...it is most likely because I am: 1. Busy Fishing 2. Thinking about fishing 3. Talking about fishing 4. Reading about fishing OR I!m just plain not interested in what you are talking about! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 Tournaments are usually fun for me, with the exception of really inclement weather. Even then, the adventure is worth it. I do refer to recreational fishing as "fun fishing," in conversation with other tournament fisherman. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 All of it's fun to me..........if it wasn't, I wouldn't be doing it. Yeah, I have had some days, both in tournaments, or non-tournament situations that the outcome at the end of the day is not what I wanted..........but it was still fun getting there. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 It's all fun or I wouldn't do it. There are times that are more fun than others. Taking family members and friends out on a trip is one kind of fun. Going out on your own, analyzing the situation, and landing a lunker or a number of chunky fish is another type of fun. Each of these has its place. Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted January 13, 2014 Super User Posted January 13, 2014 All days on the water are truely a gift from above but those days where you know the wife is happy and everyone is healthy and things kind of just come together are the awesome ones. Rain or shine, tourney or not....there are just those days when the eagles are flying, the fish are bitin, ya got a good lunch and ya got good company. Tight Lines 1 Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Anytime I go fishing it for fun whether I am in a big money tournament or not. Quote
Trailer Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Every trip is a fun fishing trip. When it ceases to fun I will quit. It's just a hobby, not a job. Don't care about fishing for money. Quote
mjseverson24 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I personally have the most fun tournament fishing, especially since my father is my partner most of the time, but I do typically call fishing a lake that I don't have a tournament on "fun fishing". Mitch Quote
Tlaz Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Never fished a tournament myself. ( maybe it is time? ) I mainly go with my brothers or my wife and son. When I go with my brothers, it is a little competetive which is great but NOTHING compares to my 8 year old hooking up with a fish. I could go all day and not catch a thing. If my family does, I am very happy for them. Last season was the best by far for him. He pulled in quite a few 3-5 lb'ers. Quote
