Do You Guys Ever Need A Break From Fishing?

[steverowbotham]

I took a year off of tournament fishing last year because I didnt have the fire.  I spent too much time on lakes I didnt want to be at and in weather I didnt want to be in.  I had my first son last year and used my free days to fish my favourite lakes and learn new techniques.  It was exactly what I needed.

I went yesterday, 1st time in about a month, made 2 casts and came in. Had a swirl on top water, I could see it was a small fish, didn't want to fish the heat  for small ones.

It was early winter. I was in my waders in an icy tributary. There wasn't much happening, and I thought to myself "what am I doing standing here freezing when I could be home tying flies and watching football ?"

I need a break after about a week straight of 7-10 hour days on the water.

I take my breaks at Cabelas.

If i didnt have to work and I could fish all the time, I would probably be able to get to a point where I had to stop after a few weeks. But as life is currently structured, no.

Never. I will die happily with a rod on my hand. I target shoot often but sometimes need a break. I have never said I need to stop fishing for awhile and focus on something else. Fishing is my break from people and life. It's what keeps me sane.

God I would love to fish every week, but I only get to go every weekend if my family feels like it and since my school will be starting up and temperatures will start to plummet so fishing will gradually decrease to a complete stop til the end of September. I haven't needed a break yet, I love fishing.

 Unfortunately I'm out of fishing for a while.  I just started a new job three weeks ago and I'm using my hands and wrists a lot more.  I'm making more money (a good thing) but I'm using my fingers, hands and wrists much more and I've been getting sore.  So over the weekends I need to let my hands/wrists rest.  So I don't want to go fishing and make lots of casts after casts.  I hope my hands/wrists get used to the work and I will eventually be able to go fishing again on the weekends but the way it looks now I just might be done with fishing for the rest of the year.
