i like fishing by myself... sometimes

Love it.

When I lived on the lake I fished every day I made it home before dark by myself or with whomever wanted to go. I have two boys now and haven’t fished alone in 10 years. When they’re grown I’ll still fish every chance I get, alone or not.

I fished a lot from the early 70's and into the early 90's...most of by myself. I lived on Lake Corpus Christi and fished it about 300 days per year for 3 yrs. Had family land about 14 miles from Choke Canyon and fished it a lot. Vast majority of the time by myself starting with stock tanks in the 60's to lakes later on in life. I never minded fishing alone.

I haven’t fished with any regularity in about 7 years. Sold my bay boat and only went a time or two a year since then, but I always fished with others. I think the last time I went fishing solo ( not fishing in a stock tank or river to kill time between meetings) was about 10 years ago when I made a solo trip or two to fish for trout in the Guadalupe). 99.5 % of my fishing has been with other people. Hunting by myself I have no issues with whatsoever.

Anyway, wife is gone, kids are gone and I’ve been meaning to run the boat, so I loaded up and headed to the lake by myself to fish for a few hours. It was actually enjoyable which I wasn’t expecting. Loading and unloading the boat was a PITA but it wasn’t the end of the world.

I love fishing, Saltwater the best but I caught a 10.2# Largemouth on Lake Fork, then I was on the quest for a lake record, never caught another over 3lbs.

The most fun was the anticipation, buying the right color Senko or paying $15.00 for a Yellow Magic that I would lose on the first cast.

Gotten to where I cant stand up for more than a couple hours, knees, back, feet. I just love being on the water

I do have a tournament this Saturday with my boy. Him and my daughter are about the only people I really enjoy fishing with. By myself I can fish exactly how I want and not worry about anyone else.

skinners been on that bay system long before me. I’m not to proud to learn a few new spots and species.

The 60’s!!!!! Wait that’s before Star Wars!!

I do to protect myself from UV rays.

Weighed seven pounds on the dot.

Enjoy it - just don't like loading and unloading the boat solo

I think the last time I fished "with somebody else" was around 2015.

I love fishing alone, but with a buddy, or my DAD, would be great as well.

...!

I’ve got loading and unloading the boat down to a science.

When I’m at the ranch I might fish alone or if we are camping at the lake I will throw a rod in the water. Can’t remember the last time I actually went to a lake strictly to fish by myself. I have some friends that have a boat so I will go out with them. Told the grandkids when they are good swimmers I will buy another boat so next year might be the year for one.

Saltwater in my flats boat, I don't mind being alone but also like having my boys out there with me if they want to come, now bass fishing, there's nothing like a little friendly competition with some of my good friends.

3's a crowd in any of these situations unless it's my boys.

I fished alone a lot when I was a kid. These days I prefer to have someone with me.

I don't fish but if I did it would be alone. I don't like to make small talk and when I'm out in the sticks I prefer silence over idle chatter.

Bout had rather unload my boat myself even if someone is with me cause some people just can't back a trailer. Lol. Keep my boat at Fork but may bring it home if Bois D Arc Lake gets good when it's opened up. Alone or with somebody don't make me no difference

Me too. Of course my bullet proof gatortrax hull requires less science than a fiberglass hull.

If anyone is looking to have a rear seat guy, Holler. I'll bring the beer, then, shut up and fish !!

I don't mind fishing by myself but it sure helps to have someone to back the truck up while loading and unloading.

Are you a quiet drunk?

Hats off to ya man, cool pics and times

You did a lot of the things most of us adventurously aspire to do but never had the discipline or guts to actually make it happen.
There are a few of should of, could of regrets that I should have done when I was single with enough cash and time to make it happen

Awesome Guy.
