Steelguy,
There is no substitute for time off, I am well aware. Most of my fishing has been alone, due to my work schedule, then activities of my Children on weekends. Wrestling Tournaments, Marching Band, Water Polo, School Play's. With 4 kids, my time is limited.
Only recently with my Wrestler going off to College, has my weekends opened up a bit more.
Most of my fishing is done by "Chance" I keep my boat in the garage, loaded with gear, rods, tackle etc. Batteries plugged in fully charged, and ready to go.
If I get home, and the Kids are doing homework, or what ever, and I am not needed, the truck get hooked up, and I go.
Most people I know, get a phone, call, it goes like this.
"I am going fishing can you go?" I either get a yes or no, and its usually a no, due to scheduling conflicts.
Ready2Fish, his name sake was tested once, I called him on a whim, and he said, "Yes", and away we went. We were treated to a Wednesday night of 4 for 7 Salmon, on Lake Michigan.
The planned trip that I posted above, was started on a Friday about 2pm, and ended up with me in Skillets boat by Sunday 7am.
If you have an open slot, shout out any time, some one on here may be going,.........
