I figure my fishing averages out to about twice a week in recent years, although the trips are getting shorter since my oldest is now 5 and goes most of the time w/ me. I still do quite a bit of bass fishing in the bottoms and on the AR River. My crappie fishing is primarily done in the fall, winter, and early spring. The winter fishing gets disrupted at times when the duck hunting is right though. My hunting in the fall slowed way down once I figured out how good the fishing was that time of year. That was about 12 years ago when I was first out of college. Spent 4 or 5 evenings a week after work on the St. Francis River when I lived up there. Kept a fishing log from 1999 - 2003. Caught over 600 spotted bass out of two holes on the St. Francis one October/November. Long winded when it comes to fishing lol !!! I honestly could go everyday and never tire of it.
