I have been on several 5-7 day trips where we fished hard everyday. Most consecutive days wetting a line is probably about 15 or so during the spring. I fish a lot of days a year just not consecutively.

I can usually get out all day on Saturday, or Sunday.  Family stuff, and work, eat up the rest of my time.

I'm on day 7 right now. This was supposed to be the fall feed week, but the weather has been wacky. Looking at being 90 degrees tomorrow (water temps holding in the high 60's). Still, vacation well spent.

I just did 13 days.  Fished for at least a few hours each of those days.  I might go for 14 or I might just kick up my feet and hang around the house.

I don't know? I lived lived on a lake that was 50' from the water edge and worked on a boat landing from age 12 to 18, the open fishing season was May 1st to Oct 1st and fished every day I could and have no ideal how many consecutive days I fished.

As a adult we did a annual Balboa to Cabo San Lucas fishing trip for 35 years that was 3 weeks fishing everyday we could, about 25 days consecutive or more.

I have bass fished for over 6 decades but not everyday.

I don't fish week end days as a rule. I try to make it out once a week.  My closest location's ramp has been in such bad shape I won't launch there anymore, which is a shame.  I used to fish it three times a week.  The most days in a row is eight on a trip to Clear Lake.

I am pretty fortunate.  I live on the water.  I can walk out my front door, grab my gear and go.  So I am able to fish often.  Sometimes it might only be for an hour sometimes all day. I'm pretty certain I've fished for More than 13 days before but never counted.  These last two weeks I was "off" from work so it was easy to keep track.

Before my health went down hill I fished from the springtime till I got burned out. That's at least three months everyday up at 3:30am fishing by 4:00am home by 9:00am/10:00am eat sleep bed by8:00pm. Repeat for three months, a few vacation days inbetween with the misses. Being retired gave me more time to fish.

 

when I was working I fished week nights and weekends. But with most larger places were crowded at night. I found the bass in more numbers but smaller in size. Fishing in the early mornings a found the bass were bigger but less in numbers. Weird. 

 

Dont forget im a shore fisherman. I can pickup and gun and run to other places nearby. My hot spots are local small bodies of water that people pass by.

 

i do regret catching my PB of 10lbs during my three months of fishing. It made bass fishing look easy. But I have seen and lost bigger bass since then. It makes me want to catch another bigger bass to up my PB. It's like a curse, I'm driven, I'm addicted. I wish it never happened, I was happy catching smaller bass.  I can poke them but I just can't seem to land them. I know were they are. My favorite spot is a man made dam for old water power. It's a dog leg shape. I can just about cast the whole dog leg. The bigger bass at at the ankle in the pads. I want to break the state record now. We have nay Sayers here locally that we don't have big bass here. Big bass don't do the 9 to 5 day. From shore anyway. Put your time in, stay going, fish as much as you can.

My PB is just shy of 6 pounds so I'm hoping to break that soon! Your right it's addicting. Never knowing if there is anything bigger. The small lake I fish constantly produces big fish. Ever time I go out I usually catch 1-2 in he 4 pound range and 3-4 bass I. He 3 pound range. Always can count on those. So I know if there are lots of 4 pounder I'm sure here is a big momma in there 6+ pounds.

I'm currently setting a record for most consecutive days without fishing. Not a fun time when you have to put the rods down because of life. But I'll be in the Blue Ridge Mountains this upcoming weekend and will be able to get some fishing in, so I'm really looking forward to that.

I hated to stop fishing to go on vacation but one vacation was to kittery trading post in kittery, Maine. Of course I spent money on fishing stuff. I just tried a c rigged senko for the first time with success the bass loved it then I left them for a few days. Bummer, the bass were post spawn and turning on. But fishing seven days a week did wear me out. I was buying anything new just to test it.

Outside of fishing trips/vacations maybe once a week. Depends on time of year and my schedule. Usually no fewer than 2x per month.

I had a 53 week stretch in between jobs in 2012-2013 and fishing my neighborhood pond is the only thing that kept me sane.  I can count the number of days I didn't fish during that time on my fingers with several to spare.  Now that I have rejoined the work force, I fish Monday-Friday during my lunch hour and usually once on the weekend.

When we first moved to SC about 7 yrs ago I fished a little pond on the property almost every day for 2 years.  The only days I'd miss would be a couple Friday/Saturdays a month when we were at a BBQ competition.  Now that we have a boat, my wife and I average 2 times a week and I get out at least another time by myself or with my son.  

 

Next week we're headed to my sister-in-law's place outside Warrenton GA.  Her neighbor maintains a very nice trophy pond that we can fish.  I hope to get in 5 or 6 days uninterrupted.
