Wanted to know how often folks are able to get out each year? By days I mean trips you don't need to spend the whole day out.

According to my wife too many. Usually 3 or 4 days a week but if fishing at home only 4 or 5 hours a day. From Sept on I try to spend 2 full days a week on the Larry as well as a couple of short days at home.

I'll just note that most of my "days" on the water are really just short trips, like 4 hours in the evening after work.

I estimated 15 separate days each year, but when I fish a day it's pre-dawn 'til pitch black at night. I don't live close enough to the lake to be able to fish only peak hours so I just put more hours in. I'm beginning to think it's counterproductive.

Sure do but on the water not the web.

I work shift work, 4 on and 4 off....so depending on the weather, and what the girlfriend has to say, I try to get out at minimum of 2 days every 8. Sometimes just for 4 hours but if the weather looks good I've been known to turn a 4 hour day into 12 quite easily.

I fish at least 3-4 times per week opener to November but mostly a few hours at a time.

Being a FIB I.am completely weather dependant. Length of winter, heat of summer, it can vary quite a bit but I picked 31-40.

Based on an average of 2.5 trips per week x 24 week season = 60 days. Number of trips are certainly higher during the summer months. Once fall arrives and daylight is reduced it makes it hard to get out after work.

I go When the warden let's me out for good behavior.
Apparently I'm bad as I don't get out enough.

I live 1.5 miles from the launch. I put over 70. Is that too much?

Lol. Never enough time on the water between May and late October.

Once the rut starts the end of October you will not find me in my boat. I will be in a tree looking for a trophy Whitetail Buck. Then its back to muskies till the season ends.
