How long do you typically stay out fishing?

I was just wondering -
How long do you tend to stay out fishing? Sometimes I lose track of time and its been 9 hours and the sun has gone down long ago but Im still watching my poles like a hawk eagerly awaiting that *tap tap tap.
So, in a kayak or not, whats the average for you guys?

On the kayak a great day is 45mins. to an hour with a fish or two. Normal day 4-5hrs with a fish or two. Six hours with no fish I feel like I'm beating a dead horse. On the boat I plan to stay out a minimum of two days,normally a three to four day trip. After sunset we will tuck in on leeside of an island or if no land in sight put out the chute and alternate watches at the helm.

As long as it takes for one of the following to happen:
  • I have to return the rental boat
  • The park/lake is closing
  • I run out of daylight
  • I run out of food/snacks
  • I run out of ideas
  • I run out of fishing buddies who are as dedicated (they call it crazy) as me
  • I limit out (least likely to happen)

One TEXT from the wife........keep fishing

Two texts from the wife......keep fishing

Three texts from the wife.......keep fishing (closer to the shoreline)

Four texts from the wife.......reply that you are already loaded up and on the freeway (while you keep fishing)

Five or more texts from the wife.......Screw it, you are already in the dog house, tell her to clean the house, make your dinner and you don't know when you will be getting home!

If I don't have an imposed time limit (family stuff, work, yadda yadda) my general rule is I'll stay out till I'm not having fun any more. I try not to let yakking feel like work or like some kind of dutie. If the conditions are still good and I'm still feeling optimistic I'll stay out. If it looks dead but I'm exploring new areas or there is a some thing cool to see I'll stay out. Maybe others can second this but since I started fishing a hobie I stay out much much longer than I ever did on my paddle kayaks. Mike
