bassmaster8100 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 How many days per week do you guys and gals fish? And how many hours on average per trip? Quote
Mccallister25 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Nearly every day for about two hours a day. The ponds I fish are only about 5 minutes down the road. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted May 12, 2014 Super User Posted May 12, 2014 Nearly every day. Last year I fished 344 days. Hours per day varies... 1 Quote
Super User Scott F Posted May 12, 2014 Super User Posted May 12, 2014 I don't do many short 2 or 3 hour trips. Like next week I'm going on a two week trip where I'll average 10 hours a day for 15 days straight. Other than long trips, if I go out I'll do 6 to 8 hours at a time, 4 to 6 days a month during spring through fall. Quote
bclark7b Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 About 5 days a week.. at least 4 hours a trip. Quote
CDobber Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I'm an hour or two at a time, a few times a week.....12 and 10 yr old needing rides to/from school, practices, games and my own work schedule prevent much more than that. Quote
Missourifishin Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 On average, 3 hours of bank fishing, 3 times a week as long as there's no ice on the water. Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted May 12, 2014 Super User Posted May 12, 2014 Weather and schedule permitting, I try to go every day. Quote
Super User Teal Posted May 12, 2014 Super User Posted May 12, 2014 More time spent fishing than sleeping but less than time spent working. 2 Quote
nascar2428 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Two to three hours a day, four days a week, Spring, Summer and Fall. Hibernation during Winter. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted May 12, 2014 Super User Posted May 12, 2014 Usually 4 times a week. 3 nights after work that can range from 2-4 hours depending on what time we get done. And then one full day on the weekend,often for a tournament, that if the weather and fish are cooperating is from dawn till dark. Then, of coarse, my job is very weather dependent. So if we have had rain, and are waiting for things to dry out, I might fish and extra day or two in a row during the week, or if we are not super busy I will get a weekday off in between jobs and fish then too opting for that instead of an extra weekend day off. One of the perks from being with my company for 20 years is the insane amount of paid vacation time I get. I usually take 2 weeks off in late summer early fall just prior to getting busy with our fall work, and fish almost every day of that, plus I still take at least 1-2 vacation days per month the rest of the year and go fishing... I get on the water about 100- 120 times in our "season" which is from April -Nov. 1 Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 For now only on the weekends really. But when I go out im usually out for about 10-12 hours. Working 40 hours a week sucks Quote
Pz3 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 For now only on the weekends really. But when I go out im usually out for about 10-12 hours. Working 40 hours a week sucks Im doing 55 hours. 6 days on average. I still manage two hours a day of fishing and usually on my off days I go sun up to sun down. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted May 12, 2014 Global Moderator Posted May 12, 2014 Since I've recently retired, I average almost every other day during the week and 2 tournaments a month. Mike Quote
deadadrift89 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Friday/Sat. till noon or dark depending on bite. Sundays during spawn...otherwise with family. Will go after work also a few times a month if partner(retired) calls and bite is hot. Quote
Balshy Fishing Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I've been out almost everyday in the past two weeks and I usually get solid bites at sunset Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 12, 2014 Super User Posted May 12, 2014 7 days a week year round. Mornings are always saltwater, afternoon is freshwater unless there is a hot bite then I go back to the ocean. Quote
slimshad Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Well looking at my logs I fished a total of three times in April and one time this month. Did win my club tourny in April and have the May one coming up soon. Work and 5 year old boy in baseball has been tough on my fishing. I just try to prepare and get the most out of my trips as possible. 1 Quote
doyle8218 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 6-7 days a week - any where from 2 hours to about 6 or 7. The water is in my backyard so that makes it easier. Quote
blongfishing Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Everyday! I usually fish 2-4 hours on Monday-Thursday. On Friday-Sunday I wake up at five do final touches to baits then fish til midnight usually cats at night. Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted May 12, 2014 Super User Posted May 12, 2014 I average about 4-5 days a week 3-5 hours a trip on week days, and usually 6 to 12 hours on weekends. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted May 12, 2014 Super User Posted May 12, 2014 If you ask me, not nearly enough. If you ask the wife, entirely too much. 3 Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted May 12, 2014 Super User Posted May 12, 2014 When I'm home from work for my 2 weeks off....every day right after I drop my son off at school till I pick him up....so 8-10days for 7hrs each day, and if you count when I fish at work, well a few hrs 2-3 times a week. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted May 12, 2014 Super User Posted May 12, 2014 Usually on Saturday or Sunday. I'll spend anywhere from 6 to 10 hours on the water depending on how the bite is doing. Quote
