Who goes out fishing alone?

 

[MatthewAbbott]

I do

 

[mavdog32]

yup

 

[eightwt]

All the time. And?

 

[AshCraft17]

Just wondering. Just finished my boat and going out tomorrow morning by myself

 

[TieOneOnJax]

I fish alone yeah,
With nobody else
I fish alone yeah,
With nobody else,
Yeah, you know when I fish alone,
I prefer to be by myself.

Hit the glades solo all the time. Less expectations when your by yourself. I also camp alone down there ( wife hates it).

I fish freshwater about 35-40 days a year - about 98% of the time it’s just me. Saltwater about 10-12 days a year and it’s just the opposite, my wife goes almost every time. Which is great, she’s a cool chick and knows what she’s doing. She usually outfishes me and doesn’t squawk at all.

Great! Tight lines to you..

When I have all my orders filled and no booking in sight I'll try to spend a day on the water exploring a bit... I make a point of not fishing places I know in an attempt to learn new things or visit places that I haven't been to in years to see what's what... It can be very slow - or really hot - I never know in advance.

By the way, my son who was in the Coast Guard finally got me to start operating a little safer than I had for years... Nowadays when I'm solo I have a Mustang inflatable PFD and a ResQ link EPIRB lanyarded to me... I'm over 70 now so it just makes good sense... should have done it years and years ago...

I go by myself quite often, it’s quite peaceful sometimes. As with any trip just let someone know where you are going to be fishing. All else is pretty much the same as being with a buddy.

 

[mmthunt]

Fish alone most of the time. Also, like to explore the 'glades back country, but I file a float plan with the family, carry a Sat phone and wear a personal flotation device. One never knows!

 

[MAK]

I go a lot by myself. Haven’t been here long enough to have established several regular fishing buddies.

 

[fishnpreacher]

Yep, most times. I don't mind fishing with others, but since I flyfish most of the time, its safer.
And sometimes I just want to be alone.

 

[Capnredfish]

Often.

 

[Ben]

Prefer going alone.

 

[Guvner]

Yep it's easier and I don't have a reliable fishing partner that lives close by.

I wear an auto inflate PFD with a strobe fitted and leave a note on the fridge of my planned trip.

 

[crboggs]

I make short runs to the backwaters here sometimes when I get the urge to stake out and wade.

 

[efi2712micro]

Fish alone half of the time. While it was difficult finding the right fishing buddy opportunistically, I just realized that I do need to be on my own here and there. Just need to be safe and let everyone know where I am, fishing buddies, friends and family.

 

[mrbacklash]

I fish alone quite a bit it is pretty relaxing when I am by myself I wear a PFD and have my SpotX in tracking mode and my wife knows where im generally going.
