Do you like to fish alone?

[Grainraiser]

I like fishing with others but most of the time I am by myself. My son lives 80 miles away so I seldom get to fish with him. Most of the time I simply meet other fisherman and just chew the fat with them. I have a rope with loops tied in them to get back in the boat if I fall in. A ladder would be better but I have tested it out and it works fine.

99% of the time I'm fishing alone, Single Poling. Single Pole fishing has a Zen to it, focusing on the tap-thump, more tap lately, presentation of the jig, positioning the boat in wind so when you hook-up you drift off location. I feel when Single Pole fishing the person closest to the trolling motor has all the advantage anyway. I do teach anglers to Crappie fish and take them fishing for "Hands On" instruction but other than Outdoor writers I'm fishing by myself most days. A good Mustang is always, always on for safety and my cell phone is waterproof.

A different angle, something Ketchn writes about but doesn't call it what it is, that is, Situational Awareness. He observes, then writes / posts what worked and didn't work. For me, if I'm fishing with someone I can miss the subtle differences that create bites and creates frowns. Funny thing, I catch as much alone as when 2 people are in the boat. Guess I'm easily distracted.

Like many others, I'm alone 99.5% of the time. Enjoy the solitude, actually.

I fish alone most of the time, I am retired and most of my friends are still working. Me and my dad usually fish some to, but when I got livescope he cannot see that well and cannot see his jig and plus he really don’t care for livescope, but I really love it…

I don't like to fish alone! Sadly, I've tried to find a fishin' buddy, for me NO luck.If there is someone in N. or NE or even E DFW MetroPlex that doesn't like to fish alone, please let me know. Of course I will split all expenses.

I have only 2-3 others that I will fish with. My wife worries when I fish alone, but I do it about 75% of the time anyway.

Fishing alone is the way to go. No complaints, no asking when we're leaving, & no untangling more messes. Lol ! I make enough on my own !! But please be careful when on the water alone !!!

I try to fish alone but sometimes the voices in my head find me. LoL. Seriously though I enjoy fishing g alone as I get do what I want. I don’t have enough patience. I find it the best way to decompress and talk myself through things and get problems worked out.
