Time spent......

[SlappinKraken]

I have two kids under 2yrs old so my time is spent with them most of the time. I do have summers off as a teacher, so I go about 3 times a month June through August. I feel guilty trying to go any more considering my wife works full time and I don't want to leave her without help on her days off. We don't use day care so during the school year I don't go much.

 

Once the kids are older we'll do a lot of kayaking, camping, etc so I'm sure I'll sneak in extra fishing time.

I normally get out 5 days a week on average. My work schedule allows that I can go in the morning for a couple hours and then in the evenings.

I use   to get out once a week  on the boat then  when I was in my 20's  and had good balance I use to stop along culverts and irrigation ditches several times a week . I had a milk run and caught bunches of big bass . This year  I fished twice in April , missed May and June completely then managed three time in July,two of those were at night . I plan on going more this   fall and  spend a week at Table Rock in September.  When I do go its usually 8 to 10 hours .

Life is a choice and sometimes I chose to give up sleep to spend time on the water..it's just that simple

My work schedule is hectic and nowhere near the standard 9 to 5 but luckily for me I live on a river and there's a boat launch about 2 mins away from my house. I also have a kayak so I can be sitting on my couch then get up and load the kayak in my truck bed and be out on the water in about 10 mins. 

 

So I have the time to go fishing virtually whenever I want but I usually go 3 or 4 times per week. 

 

The double edged sword with that is the fact that it's so easy for me to go that I tend to become quite impatient very fast. In years past before I had such easy access to fishing I would make a day of it. Get up early, pack a lunch, stay out all day, etc. Now I toss the kayak in the truck and head out and if the fish aren't biting as often as I like then I just say screw it and go home lol. 

 

Before even if the fish weren't biting I'd stay out there because I did all the work to get up and pack the food and make the long drive, etc. Now it's no longer a "fishing trip" but rather me just going basically across the street so my brain sort of takes advantage of that and if I'm not catching anything in a timely manner my brain quickly says "Just go home and have a beer or two, it's not like you can't come back tomorrow, you live right there...."
