On my own

[fishstick11]

I have been fishing with my bro rbracing for the past few years, but now I'm on my own. Does anyone have any hints or tips to a give for a fisherman that is now on his own. No hard feelings Dave.... ;D ;D

My advice would be to take these guys up on their offers, and bring a notebook. ;D Seriously you will learn a lot more from fishing with other people than you will on your own. When people talk try to listen and find out what they are trying to tell you.

You can learn a lot from people when you listen. Just the other day I was loading my boat and the guy beside me starts a conversation about the days fishing. I showed him a few pictures and told him where I had caught the fish. He informed me that he had just suffered a heart attack followed by a open heart surgery the previous year. I believe he just wanted someone to talk to. I had no where to go and nothing to do, so I lent him my ear. After about 30 minutes he had told me every spot he had fished throughout his lifetime, he told me where to go, when to fish at each spot, and what to use as bait. He told me about lakes I didn't even know had flathead, and I'm sure not many others do either. Ten minutes later another older gentleman comes up and starts talking to us as well. He started rambling off his favorite spots and telling stories from his past.

The whole time I probably spoke 5 or 6 sentences, but I learned quite a bit......probably 100 years of fishing between the two of them. You won't learn that much that quickly on your own. And plus fishing by yourself is no fun when you don't have anyone to brag to. Lol

thanks seanstone.good to see im not the only guy that picks the old guys mines.the good old boys.know there stuff

Mikey you are welcomed to come down and fish with us anytime, like them guys said. As for hints, theres lots to learn from others as in terms of techniques etc. But like Randy said above, biggest thing is time on the water, and having patience! Big fish don't come every day. rollo

[fishstick11]

Thanks so much guys ;D ;D
Ok I'd love to.... I only met that I wanted some advice, but this is much much better.....have to ask parents, but I would love to go fishing with you guys.... Ya kip I got one of your old 7000c3i's he he he Dave traded me for a broken 7000 big game and a beef stick.

When I get enough free time I will take you somewhere, its just hard to do with 3 kids

[fishstick11]

I know really I know after how much time has been taken from David ....... But that's what a family is about so please don't waste your time on me...... It's fine dude

[rcbbracing]

Hard to take you fishing when I work six days a week and 8-12 hrs a day...plus I live an hour and a half away from you and every spare second I have is spent with my fiance and kids...I have prioritized and never looked back...I know what's important in life...and glad to say fishing comes second to supporting and spending time with my family.

[Seanstone]

I don't believe any harm was meant by his post/posts. I'm glad to hear you have things in order, family is definitely more important than fishing. Once the kids grow up, you'll have fishing partners for life. Mikey will do good from fishing and learning from others.

[fishstick11]

I know David sorry this was ment to be a post for ideas on what I could do on my own.......not to offend I know you have the family and no harm was meant, just wanted so advice..... And I thank everyone for the invites, but my parents are really weird about who I fish with because they hear about rapes and molestation so much as teachers.... Just got to wait till I got a lisense

[mmagis]

It probably doesn’t seem like it, but they aren’t being weird, they’re doing their job.

[Smoothkip]

I agreee with Mike! I didnt realize why my parents were so protective till i had my own children! Its just because the love and care for ya Mikey.
