Are u a fair weather fishermen?

[Zogman]

As I am retired and I can fish anytime I have become a fair weather fisherman. Still fish 3 to 5 days a week. Used to fish in any kind of weather.

I like it a little on the crappy side less crowds no line at the boat ramps.

Rarely any crowds at the Angle. I can fish on a week day and never see another boat. Never (in 15 years) had a boat pull within 300 yards or so to where I am fishing unless it is someone I know,

After yesterdays trashing on Sak we had to think about it if the last two walleyes for a limit were worth it. At the end of the day when my line kept blowing out of my finger grip as I opened the bail to cast cranks on a wind blown bank, it sucked all the fun out of that idea. A cold beer and hot food at Scenic 23 afterwards made the wimps feel better.
I'm more fair weather than I used to be but weekends are about the only time I can go so once I commit to going I usually deal with high wind, rain or cold but I don't love it.

If we're on a fishing trip the only thing that stops us is lightning.

I think the toughest conditions to fish are the ones in late November when your reel and guides freeze up.

Fair weather? Yup. Too old and back's too bad to do otherwise.

If I waited for the nice days I would likely never fish. Western ND is always windy, or cloudy, or rainy, or really really windy.

The perfect days always seem to be around the middle of the week, when a working man is unable to go.

I don't mind the wind, but I think I can give up fishing in the rain again and it wouldn't hurt my feelings too much.

im more of a how mad she gonna be!!!! fisherman

 

[wildeyes]

No, will fish any weather the only time I drag my feet is when there is a major cold front the first day after is general bad. Some of the best fishing is a windy day just got to find a ramp that works. Nothing is worse then you go to dock a boat with the waves coming in.

I feel a more detailed definition of "fair weather" need to be explained. If it’s a normal weekend at the cabin then if the weather is suitable for hold a cold beverage in a coolie then yes I am out fishing. However if it’s a fishing trip pre planned then I suit up and get on the water any chance I can

 

[BBQBluesMan]

Will fish in most weather except extreme wind and/or lightning...I don't want to end up like ol Reg...

Where is 701 in this thread? He won't go fishing if it's not 90 and less than 5 Mph wind :;:sorry ... not going to say i like it cold and rainy but i catch fish and that's what I'm about

 

[NPO_Aaron]

If I'm by myself I'll fish in anything. I've actually questioned my own sanity a few times on the ice. Most of the time my wife and I fish together, and she is definitely a fair weather fisherperson. Therefor, I fall on both sides of the line.

 

[Fisherman25]

Since I fish a lot with my wife and 3 year old, yeah fair weather is the only option that keeps them happy, and my sanity in place. If I'm going by myself or with friends, I'll take a beating to get out there.

i used to fish in anything... anymore if the weather is bad, my first thought is how stiff am i gonna be, and how bad am i gonna hurt tomorrow...
