Rattler; when I was working, I would come home, fix a sandwich, and go hit the water. If I could get 2 hours in before dark; often it was very productive. If trolling, three rods are sufficient; if jigging, two rods (one with bkd and one with metal) were all I needed.
Sometimes going by yourself is more relaxing. You don't have to produce fish for anybody, and sometimes it's fun to just drift and watch how other boats are fishing.
I hope you get out soon, Marty

Marty,

I could not agree more....Except that Spot77 and I have known each other for 20+ years so its kind of like fishing with a brother...

Something nice about the peace, quiet, get away from all the #%@#% of life....

Flat water, sunset, thinkin about nuthin...

Maybe fishing, maybe catching....

It is an awesome feeling...

Just the other night I watched close to 10 boats trying thier damndest to catch stripers...I took the time to pull out an ultra light and fish for perch...While watching everyone else stress over getting that 20" striper...No stress, lots of fun, just enjoyable....

Yeah, I know what you mean.
I went out a few times last year by myself.

My problem this season is im in a new lift slip and its very very tight and a 2nd person on board to watch the bow helps alot but im getting better doing it myself.

Trolling by myself was a nightmare without auto pilot

By the way ...... I work nights (2pm - 10pm) so its the mornings when i get out during the week.

I definitely should have went wednesday. Looks pretty windy today and friday.

yeah perfect looking days except for the forecasted winds...Looks like they will be out of the west for the most part...of course that changes with the wind....

Just hoping to find some fish at deeper depths over the next couple of days...If they light up the surface it will be a heck of a bonus....
