Possibly a weird question

[starkeer]

Fellow bank fisherman,

 

I have been fishing lately on a metro lake with a very busy walking path  but the shoreline is very fishable all the way around the lake. My question is: what does everybody do when the bite is hot and you have to pee? Sorry for the weird question

[flyfisher]

you go pee somewhere...find a bush a tree or whatever.

Pee before you go

That fixes nothing. You still don't know when nature will call again, and you should be hydrating. 

 

If it's busy, I wouldn't risk being caught. Too many stupid laws that could ruin your life for simply doing a very human thing. Hold it. If it's bad, pack up and head to a close bathroom.

Should be a public restroom nearby...can be charged for indecent exposure...bad news...not good....

You do what soccer players do when they warm up.

 

You make sure no one is opposite you.

 

You kneel down on both knees and put your tackle bag in front of you, but a tad away.

 

You then start fumbling with your baits like you are looking for something.

 

And you hope no one sees you.

I just go into the woods behind a thick tree. If people see you they will just think you are a stalker or something

I wear a diaper when bank fishing, like an astronaut so I can focus solely on bass fishing I’m just hard core like that.

Don't drink coffee before you go. Take 1 bottle of water to sip. Don't drink beer. Leave if you have to.

As I get older, I pretty much know when it will call again and plan for it. I usually have only 1 cup of coffee then visit the facilities before I leave home. I won't start drinking water until a couple hours later. That usually will buy me 4 hours with no bathroom breaks if I'm in a really public place. If I'm going later in the day I'll not drink anything for a couple hours before I go so I can have water when i need it.

 

As an older friend told me some years ago, "I used to walk into a bar and check out every female in it. Now I look for the restroom."

Or a junkie

You must be very young ?

 

Because most dedicated anglers just let it go while bank fishing. The dampness will keep you cool and the slight scent keeps the critters away.

Find a bathroom. If there’s woods nearby, find a tree.

If its a busy public park don't risk going behind a tree and having a child see you.  It could make for a bad day.  If its crowded, there is a bathroom somewhere.,  If not, pack up and go to McDonalds, or another fast food place, then go back and fish.  Just use common sense!

And a pocket catheter ain't??? I'm sure Tupac used a pocket catheter when he went fishing. ?

I am a man, the world is my urinal! I fished a couple areas like that and I would wait until people were just not around and try to climb into thicker brush, but just get in there and get it done, don’t be standing around enjoying the view and look at what’s going on around you, don’t want to have any poison anything about belt high...

Find the third oak tree on the left....

[moguy1973]

You are bank fishing a park pond not the Bass Master Classic.  It's not that serious.  Go find a bathroom.

Soccer players have tackle bags on the field during warmups?

 

No wonder they go down like they are shot all the time, getting those hooks caught in themselves must be painful...

Wade out crotch deep, and pee your pants while waving at all the passers by. They'll never know what you're doing. It's almost as much fun as crop dusting.

[S Hovanec]

Depends.....lol

[Darren.]

Man, not a whole lotta stuff you can do if it's a public

place with others around....if it's isolated, then a tree

is your best bet...

 

Has hit me while out on the water, and when loading up

at the dock. You find a way if it can't be held.

This makes me remember something, “happiness is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth”
