[blush][blue][size 1]Used to fish alone a lot...when I was married to a woman who told me "You better not go fishing if you know what's good for you." It was good for me. Got me single again so that I could meet and marry TubeBabe.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]Now I don't have to worry about going fishing...as long as I take her with me. [/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]The other side of the question is unstated. That is, how do you pick a good fishing buddy. What are the criteria and how do you dump one that is a pain in the behind?[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Fishing is a sport that is sometimes best when done alone. It is a good way to wind down and do a "brain broom" (my term). You can fish, or you can fret...but you can't fish and fret at the same time.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]When things are mellow, then fishing is best with the family, a close friend or someone who needs some coaching. Heck, maybe it is you that needs the coaching and some kind soul is willing to help you out. Much of what I think I know I have learned from spending quality time on the water with other anglers who were more experienced and knowledgeable in areas I wanted to learn more about.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]And then, there are those trips when you hook the fish of a lifetime, bring it in and release it...and no camera to record the event. Having a fishing buddy along to corroborate your story can be priceless. As long as his memory jibes with yours when you tell the story later.[/size][/#0000ff]

I like to go alone quite a bit, but I usually take my wife and/or kids.

I only fish alone in the early mornings before going into work. Almost every day. Other than that I don't fish without my fishing buddy, my son TubeNtoo.[cool][cool]
