    Because they want to go to the same spot all the time every time.

    The fish are bigger and the stories are better with no witnesses!

    Try fishing with me once. The knowledge is in the experience, young grasshopper.

    I fish alone for many reasons.. the main one is nobody wants to go fishing with me.. all my friends would rather be on the couch playing playstation.

    Because nobody wants to or will fish with me! I am used to landing big muskies by myself…

    Over the years be it hunting or fishing, I can depend on myself. About 20 years ago I got stood up for the last time due to my partner getting out of the bar extra late. Very frustrating when 8 am rolls around and you have been waiting for thhe past three hours wondering where they are.

    Anyway those days are long gone and I couldn’t be happier.

    because my 2 best fishing partners have passed away and my 2 sons live more than a hour away! also when I am prefisin I don’t always go to fish,I’m looking and trying new things and most other people want to catch fish when they go! Also I am a service tech so my schedule gets real messed up sometimes and I just leave when I can with no planing

    (1)Mainly because I don’t really care if I catch fish or not….(2)anybody I take with me expects me to put’m on fish….(3)I enjoy the quiet. The cell phone gets turned off and the radio’s never on- -jerr

    Because women expect a guy to bait thier hook and take the fish off, absolutely won’t help clean the fish…Don’t even want to stay out all night, even when thier biting good.

    Not to stray away from the original post but I hope MsTrumar doesnt read this quoted comment.

    She does all that her self and I have to darn near knock her out to get her OFF the water even after dark and even when fishing is SLOW.

    Am I right BK ?

    THAT is FUNNY! Although I would NEVER admit it in public!

    Baiting the hook, taking the fish off, going in early…not a bother at all. IF THAT’S ALL IT TAKE TO GET MY FW OUT I’M ALL OVER THAT!

    So right Jeff. But Mary doesn’t fit the mold of normal when it comes to fishing…you lucky dog.

    Seeing as it’s fathers day I’ll go on to say that in 4 years I’ve never fished alone.

    Happy Fathers Day Dad!

    I fish alone a lot but I don’t really like to but it just ends up that way. I have many fishing friends but most of them have their preferred species. My sons are not old enough yet to go out late at night. My wife is not a fishing person unless the boat comes with a a restroom on board. I dislike fishing with someone who needs constant supervision.

    Most times when I see a guy fishing alone I just think, poor guy, he must be a real corn hole!

    SO not true. There are times where I like being with the guys or gals fishing. Other times, depending on my mood I could spend 10 hours on the water alone with just me & my thoughts. I love it!!!

    I hate fishing alone. there is no one to share the joy of fishing with. whether it be a big pike , or a bass or even a big buffalo or a doggie. its great for a time to share and at time to make a memory that lasts a life time.

    I fish alone because my friends are to lazy to get up early and go, or their wives have things for them to do, or they have to go to soccer, or they show up late. I’d rather go alone than listen to all the excuses.

    Plus…I’m probably a corn hole.

    “why do guys fish alone?”

    I cant make sense out of your question. Fish alone. Fish with one other person. Two other peope. What in the world difference is there?! Sounds like you’re trolling.

    I fish alone a lot of the time because a large portion of my trips are spur of the moment – with no notice to line up a partner.

    Also – with the hectic pace of life in general – fishing alone is a big wind-down time for me……a good time to recharge the mental battery.

    Also – I’m prolly a corn-hole.

    Because if they are like me, they like fishing bottomless.
