Fishin by yourself ain't all that bad....I like it. I'm particular on who I go out with, though. I go out for a good time, not to accommodate a whine-bag.

Last time I learned how expensive tungsten weights are!

Its called giving back to the sport. I too have been known to be very giving from time to time. Sometimes I think Im a little too giving .

Learned a lot about bass fishing from him.

I usually tell them how long we will be fishing in advance plus splitting on the gas for the truck and boat. They can't be late otherwise I leave without them. I'll be honest...I prefer to go alone. No one to stress me out. No complaint. No BS. I get to relax catching or not. It's my time with the lake.

Sometimes it's helpful to say what is expected. If somebody hasn't fished in a few years or with a pro, they don't really know what is expected.

I fished hard, didn't complain and the guy still got mad at me. We tangled lines once and he caught a fish and I wasn't fast enough on the net.

Never took me again because I failed his "pro" test.


Some people need help. If they are on time, try hard, try to help, stay all day and help pay give them some credit where credit is due.

Please. Don't treat them like they are stupid. There is a difference between being stupid and not knowing. I would love to fish with people but I'm afraid to ask now because it's like some secret world that if you don't know what you are doing you are an idiot. Not everybody knows what it takes to be a pro.

So relax with the people that try hard.
