Got up at one and cooked conecuh sausage and biscuits..... Oh yeah this is a fishing story or report. Had two from church going fishing with me on the lights this AM. One begged off in a text and one will not respond. That's what I'm talking about!!!! Bawhahaha think ill take him the breakfast to his house and give it to him and explain I would not want him to be inconvienced....... LAWDY
That Sucks!! Go have a good trip by yourself!!!
Naw...... I never fish alone. To many things can go wrong. I will not plan with them cats no more...lol
I know how you feel. I have had friends stand me up on fishing trips and hunting trips. After getting up early and getting everything ready ahead of time and then they call and give a lam reason that they can't go or having to call them to wake them up and they just can't get woke up enough to go. Well I just don't plan with them much anymore. My best fishing partner now is my wife and she broke her foot(ankle) 6 weeks ago and we have not got to go fishing lately. I have been having to do some of the housework that she was doing and "boy" will I be glad when she gets back to walking good again. You are right not to fish along as you never know what will go wrong especially at night or very early in the morning before light and some lakes this time of year don't have many if any others fishing them this time of the year. Hope you load the boat next time out and have a very merry Christmas.
Holler at me sometimes. Come up here to the Big G. They been biting pretty good.
Shoulda called me, I'm only a few hours away. I coulda reheated my biscuits. lol.:santa
Good fishing partners are hard to find. I've had the same thing happen too. I just don't invite them anymore
While I agree that you are right in not wanting to fish alone for safety reasons: I learned a long time ago that everyone wants to go until it's time to go... and then it seems like everything in the world comes up preventing them from going at the very last minute when usually it's that they just couldn't stand getting out of that warm bed. Once I learned not to depend on others going with me to go fishing by myself; I had some of the best, most peaceful and most productive times on the water that I could hope for.
When I did have people going with me: If they didn't show up exactly when they said they were supposed to... I would leave them behind without the slightest hesitation. The next time I would usually find that they were waiting for me when I got there.
My best fishing partner is my 72 year old Aunt she never complains and will fish all day and into the night.The smile on her face is priceless.
My favorite fishing partner is my nine year old. She would fish all day everyday if we could. She's getting old enough to do everything herself though. They grow up too fast.Attachment 223662
I fish alone 99% of the time. I would just rather go alone. I have techniques that work well for me. I just like the peace and quiet of being alone.
Me too not that I'm anti social but it is a lot of work to please others and I fish for the peace and tranquility and I'm not under pressure to catch a load :fishQuote:

I have the opposite problem, if I'm suppose to meet you at 6:00AM I'll be ringing your door bell at 5:30AM, LOL!
I fish alone 90%. Even other kayakers usually don't want to go through what I do some days.
It's a bit much to say "lets go fishing", then expect someone to walk a half mile with a kayak on a cart to get into a three foot deep slough.
I fish alone most of the time as well cause the kids like to go only when I am catching not fishing and it's hard to get
others committed . if so you have to buy the gas provide the boat pick them up clean the fish for them . And let them use your stuff. Lol. What a different world we live in today
Yeh and you coulda picked me up on the way........I hate to see good bisquits go to wasteQuote:

That can be a chore.
alexava,
No harm, I usually meet up on the water. It's not a big deal when each person is in their own one man boat.
Good thoughts, I'm over it now. Posted it more out of humor than anger anyways. I got him good tho......lol. I put an amber alert out by text message via group message about 6 am. When all his buddies shamed him he finally responded. He's a good scout just not a dedicated fisherman like some. He would have never missed a fishing trip. Good fishing to all
