coderforlife22 Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Hey guys, I have a big project I am working on and wanted to get your opinion on somethings. 1). What is the most challenging thing you find about fishing? 2). What is the most fun and exciting part of fishing?(Obviously catching a fish ;-) But anything else you find exciting?) I would love to hear your opinion. Troy Quote
EricTheAngler Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 I find places to fish is the most challenging, and most exciting part is buying fishing stuff it is like a rush or something. 1 Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted December 12, 2015 Super User Posted December 12, 2015 The most challenging, not finding fish where you gameplan was set for. Trying to find them after that is difficult. The most exciting, anticipation of getting out again. 1 Quote
wisconsin heat Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 The most challenging thing is figuring out the fish (where they are, their mood, what they will bite, how fast to work the lure to make them bite, etc) The most exciting part is when you have a hunch, and you were right. 1 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted December 12, 2015 Super User Posted December 12, 2015 Winning tournaments. My partners and I cash or come in 2nd place more than almost everyone else combined in the circles we fish in, but for some reason, we only seem to win one or two a year. Yeah, we're consistent and don't stink out the joint much, but man.....some of these 2nd place finishes some day have got to start turning into W's. In the last two seasons alone we have eleven 2nd's compared to only 2 wins (1 in each season). I guess it's a nice problem to have. But in a lot of these tournaments we are finishing 2nd to the same handful of guys, guys who if they are not winning are not doing jack squat. I guess we don't swing for the fences hard enough. 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted December 12, 2015 Super User Posted December 12, 2015 The most challenging aspect I find about fishing revolves around all the correct decisions & successful execution it takes to get a strike. The most fun and exciting part of it is ~ actually getting one. A-Jay 3 Quote
Rick Howard Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Sometimes the hardest part is just having the time to get out. I spent a few years without fishing due to work obligations. Finding fish is the most challenging part. Sometimes its easy though. Other times its not. On a consistent basis, this is the biggest challenge for me. Obviously the most rewarding part is catching fish. It means everything came together perfectly at that moment. The most satisfying part is being out fishing. Forming plan, reacting to changes in that plan. The anticipation of each cast. The natural world around you. The learning that takes place is what passes the time between catching fish, for me. 3 Quote
baxtervol Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Most challenging is finding fish. Sometimes it is even choosing the right place to fish. I have zeroed or caught very little at times while friends have done well at other lakes using similar techniques. Outside of catching a good fish, the most exciting for me is the preparation for a day of fishing. Buying a new bait or two to try, making a plan and rigging your rods, getting boat ready, the coffee at four thirty in the morning, and the quiet and scenic drive to the lake. Can't wait for the morning! 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted December 12, 2015 Super User Posted December 12, 2015 1. Getting out of bed at O dark 30 when it's cold. 2. Everything working after launching the boat. Tom 2 Quote
Super User Sam Posted December 12, 2015 Super User Posted December 12, 2015 1). What is the most challenging thing you find about fishing? - Finding the pattern of the day or hour. 2). What is the most fun and exciting part of fishing?(Obviously catching a fish ;-) But anything else you find exciting?) - Not exciting. Just relaxing and enjoying the beauty of nature. 2 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted December 12, 2015 Super User Posted December 12, 2015 Fishing in tough conditions is really mentally and physically challenging. Catching a huge bass is probably the most exciting for me. Hasn't gotten old yet That would be closely followed by seeing a TW package on the front door...... 2 Quote
wytstang Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 1) Paitence 2) Since I do nothing but early morning fishing, the fun and exciting part for me is watching, hearing, and seeing nature wake up. 1 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted December 12, 2015 Super User Posted December 12, 2015 1. Finding fish 2. Hooking that big-un in a tourney Quote
Ohio Archer Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Challenging: figuring out a new lake or one that I haven't been on in a few years. Figuring out how to get the fish I see on the sonar to hit. Trying to not think about work or other life problems and just relax. Exciting part: being on the lake, in the outdoors. Seeing eagles and ospreys flying. A hook-up once in a while. A smile on a friend's face after a day out on the lake. The excitement of taking a young person out for the first time. 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted December 12, 2015 Super User Posted December 12, 2015 The most challenging thing to me is catching a limit . I dont fish tourneys now days but still push myself to catch a limit . The most satisfying is when its been a tough day fishing but in the end I have a working pattern going . Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted December 12, 2015 Global Moderator Posted December 12, 2015 Challenging? Everything.... Depth, bait, color, size, speed, action etc etc Mike Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted December 12, 2015 Super User Posted December 12, 2015 The most fun for me is finding a really solid pattern, catching fish where fish "aren't supposed to be" according to the locals, and catching bass in really tough conditions. Most challenging is keeping my head screwed on straight in a tournament. 2 Quote
BrownBear Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 1). What is the most challenging thing you find about fishing? Besides fitting in more time to fish, I would say that it would be that it’s a constant learning process with ever changing conditions (weather, water, temperature, etc.). 2). What is the most fun and exciting part of fishing? (Obviously catching a fish ;-) But anything else you find exciting?) The planning, preparing, finding the fish, identify what they are biting on. I also enjoy the environment, sunrises, sunsets, and the bait fish popping the top of the water! Quote
BigSkyBasser Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Challenging for me:Fishing and catching fish with rigs that's weren't designed to be fished where we live. Exciting and fun: Catching a slab of a smallmouth and getting a picture of it for temporary bragging rights (my yearly bests don't usually top the group for long!) Quote
Super User soflabasser Posted December 12, 2015 Super User Posted December 12, 2015 Having enough time to fish as much as I want. Quote

I would love to hear your opinion. Troy The Cast. The challenging to get the bait right where you want it. I like to fish brush, trees and the bottom. it's all about the cast and a bad one can ruin a perfect spot. The Cast. It's exciting to get the bait right where you want it. After the cast you can swim, jig, spin, drop shot, etc. all day long. 1 Quote
