How long do you typically stay out fishing?

[Biggameaddict]

As long as i can

It all depends on, you know...her.

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

I fish until the bait starts playing dead

I don't like to make any other plans the day when I'm set to Yak. If the other half doesn't have the list for me that day (not a word Brett) I'll stay six to eight hours, depending on the conditions.

I learned a long time ago that when you are going out to have a plan, so I do. I plan all the gear that I'm going to take and need, and then some extras to prepare for any situations that may come up. If I'm out on the water for more than 2 hours and none of the things I'm using for the first plan are getting results, then I start doing other things, and then if I have done everything and nothing's happening, I usually will call it a day, but I like to be on the water for at least 6 hours before I call it quits for the day.
