basslover12345 Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Hey guys, I have about 3 and a half weeks left until school starts for me ( I go to a private catholic school). I'm going into 10th grade........ Last year was a tough year and my parents think fishing got in the way a little to much and got to the point where I was not allowed to fish the last month of school. My Grades weren't bad, I was getting one or two A's, A few B's, and like 2 C's. What I was wondering is how you guys did well in school and do well in school, BUT still get to bass fish........ In middle school I could fish 2 hours every days and have mostly all A's because I would do my homework at Lunch. Any suggestions how I can fit fishing in? Quote
Missouribassman95 Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 If I don't have ball practice I come home straight from school, finish my homeowork then I fish till dark. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted July 31, 2011 Super User Posted July 31, 2011 Why not do your homework at lunch in high school? Im surprised you still have homework to be honest. Around here it seems the more years your in school the more homework disappears. I did all of like 3 worksheets for math last year. Quote
basslover12345 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 If I don't have ball practice I come home straight from school, finish my homeowork then I fish till dark. Thats what I try to do My mom thinks that if she doesn't see me study or do my homework, which I do before she gets home, then she thinks I don't do it................ Quote

Win win. Or you could just show them you already did your homework. Quote

MuffinMan Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Well...sounds like a reason to use my favorite excuse, "the fish ate my homework", I am in 11th grade and I do all my homework in class and at lunch and show my parents when I get home. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted August 1, 2011 Super User Posted August 1, 2011 I teach 11th and 12thgrade and done hand out homework so my kids can fish haha. No but when I was in school I fished more then then I do now I never got the best grades though either if I wasn't on the river I was chasing cheerleader tail. You probably get home at what 230 3ish if you do homework or study for say an hour or even 2 that leave plenty of time to fish everyday Quote

Super User clayton86 Posted August 1, 2011 Super User Posted August 1, 2011 Hey notes come in handy I still have notes from college I look back on now not to mention fishing log notes Quote
dhami013 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Homework for an hour or two, then fish. That's how I do it now in college. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted August 1, 2011 Super User Posted August 1, 2011 Notes....... :lol: :lol: Dont hate on notes man, Quote
ripinthem Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 This time of the year, I just wait for the fish to school, then I manage quite well. Quote
basslover12345 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 My problem is is that I don't get home until 3:50-4:10, because I carpool with another kid my age. The place I fish is 10 minutes walking distance away from my house. Quote
tmier Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 If your parents want to see you do your homework, listen to them first. If you get home by 4, rush out or even get dropped off at the water by your ride. Then fish until 6 and go home so you can score brownie points and study after fishing. Make your parents happy and maybe they will buy you some new tackle if you pump out A's consistently. Quote
HookSetDon Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 pay attention and focus on school now so when your older you can get a good job and make a good living, buy yourself a nice boat and fish as often as you like! Quote
NBR Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Come home from school, do your home work and lay it out neatly so your parents an look it over. I would think they care more about what you have done than watching you do it. Your education is going to provide you with the job and funds to finance you fishing in future years so the education is very important to your fishing. If you were my child I would be very receptive to this but if you tried to sneak one past me I'd ground you for so long you would be dying the grey out of your hair before you went fishing again. 1 Quote
midnighthrasher Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Quit school and try and make it as a pro!!!!! Quote
BassCats Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Get up 2 hours earlier and go fishing then go to school Quote
basslover12345 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 I sometimes wonder how Ike, Skeet, and KVD managed schooland going pro at the sme time.......... Quote
Super User Sam Posted August 3, 2011 Super User Posted August 3, 2011 Let's see. 10th grade = 15 or 16 years old. School is extremely important if you want to have a boat, motor, trailer and the time to do some serious bass fishing. Seems you want immediate gratification in fishing when your school work is vastly more important. Your parents are fantastic. Checking your homework is a blessing. They want you to do well and they are willing to take time out of their day to spend with you to make sure you are doing a great job. So take some advice from a old coger who does undergraduate recruiting for LSU and keep those grades high; get into a good college; graduate; start a career; make a lot of money; buy a nice rig; and pay as much FICA as you can!!!!

Bassfisherman94 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Just come home, get a snack or something, then start almost immediatley on your homework. Once you get it done, you can fish! Just don't rush through it and make simple mistakes on your homework so you can go fishing. Homework and School, are more important than fishing(i hate to think like that at times but they really are). Good luck! Catch them up! Quote
