Things that made you go back to shore.

[Some Old Guy 968]

Just to get conversation going, What type of things made you head back to shore and give up for the day.

Mine are:

Really Bad weather.

A crabby fishing partner

Somebody breaking into my truck (saw it happening but they took off as I neared shore)

Somebody trying to use two rods and telling me not to worry, No one will see!

Damaged Prop.

What made you pack it in for the day?

I'm always surprised by the number of guys that go out fishing, get a limit quick, then pack it in for the day. The goal of the trip is to "limit out" , not to "go fishing for the day/afternoon".

There was a guy at Savanne that was packing up and heading home as we were launching who spent half an hour fishing and limited out three guys and was headed home... All that work (barring some other reason to be home) for half an hour seems like a waste. Total travel and prep time should not exceed fishing time.

I have a good buddy like that. I don't get it. It's ALL IN for me.

1. Storm (with 5 foot waves and a water spout)

2. Back in the day another reason was out of beer. But that is a big NO NO and they don't get on board anymore.

3. Flies. A bunch of years ago when those so called Friendly Flies were a problem. They drove us out of our mind while fishing Plumes. We litterly went to camp and sat in our tent for a few hours to calm down.

In Thailand, we saw a group of monkey's going through our belongings as we were in a kayak fishing, so had to head back and fend them off.

But around here, the only thing that usually sends me back is horrific weather, motor trouble, or a challenge to a rematch of fooze-beer!

[Fishbum 35]

things that made you go back eh.. hmmm

-limits

-no limits

-ran outta beer

-forgotten rods ?? not sure how haha

- lightening so close you can feel the static

-waves

and weigh in times

[Foozer 194]

Promised wife we could leave if she played with my rod in the boat

And I bet she swallowed the bait too huh?

[Guest jackfish pete]

Most of the time it's because of canoe troubles:

-Flipped it in rapids, wind and waves, and once when reaching over for a loose lure

-Scratched it on rocks (you have to go back to shore to check for holes)

-Had a lake trout that I couldn't pull into the canoe (went to shore to land it)

-Blown out to some island in Lake Superior

-Unable to go back into a strong wind

-Lost a paddle

Only a few non-canoe related things:

-Better fishing on shore

-Lost a stringer so I had to kill the fish and bring it back immediately

-Caught and released all the fish in a pool (sight fishing is awesome!)

Edit (how in the world did I forget these???)

-Tired of avoiding/catching/unhooking seagulls

-Drunken jet-skiiers purposely speeding around me constantly, often turn to run right across my line less than 20 feet from the canoe

-3 celcius and snowing on a plus 10 day! Damn weather man, I should of brought coffee and beer, not just beer for the shore lunch

Sunshine! what sunshine has sent me back to shore? Yep too many Black Ice the night before. Woke up in the morning and had fog and a light breeze. I was feeling great paddling around the lake, and then the sun came out and so did the migrane. back to shore and headed home
