I agree with 3 hours, but the closer to home is better. I'm usually beat when I come off the water and looking for a nap.

I would say around 150 miles each way.
So 2.5 hours is about my max.

3 hours for me - more out of necessity than choice. The difficulty is trying to be on the water by sunrise (3am alarm clock) and then drive back same day.

I don't usually travel more than an hour but that gives me several options. Happy B-day Monty

Around 3 hrs if im driving. If I'm riding shotgun I dont care how far it is as long as i get to fish.
You know the old saying
If it floats, flys, or f___s it is always cheaper to rent!
You have to decide which is more important.

Kind of like asking how far to go to buy groceries?.....Whatever it takes.
Living in SE Texas, we can choose from 1/2 dozen good lakes within 90 minutes, but when I lived out in West Texas, would travel 4-6 hours just to day fish.
