Three texts from the wife.......keep fishing (closer to the shoreline)

Four texts from the wife.......reply that you are already loaded up and on the freeway (while you keep fishing)

Five or more texts from the wife.......Screw it, you are already in the dog house, tell her to clean the house, make your dinner and you don't know when you will be getting home!

that's pretty funny though and true

I fish until the bait starts playing dead

I don't like to make any other plans the day when I'm set to Yak. If the other half doesn't have the list for me that day (not a word Brett) I'll stay six to eight hours, depending on the conditions.

I learned a long time ago that when you are going out to have a plan, so I do. I plan all the gear that I'm going to take and need, and then some extras to prepare for any situations that may come up. If I'm out on the water for more than 2 hours and none of the things I'm using for the first plan are getting results, then I start doing other things, and then if I have done everything and nothing's happening, I usually will call it a day, but I like to be on the water for at least 6 hours before I call it quits for the day.

Usually plan on being out a minimum of 3-4 hours, generally 6-8. Longest runs have been over 10 hours, did 2 days of 8 hours each on MB a few years ago but my ass was flat for quite awhile. Now it just depends on if the wind picks up, or if I take on water, otherwise I'll keep fishing...

Damn first off I'm way ahead of all you married guys :the_finge r: .
I stay out till I'm too tired and my butt hurts. Thats the most common reason about 4-6 hours.
right behind that reason is that I'm soooo sea sick and really don't care about fishing kayaking or the next world war. I jsut want to be home and away from the ocean kayaking and everyone else.. Leave me alone can't you see I'm sea sick. Say one more word and I bite you, I got sea sick so bad a couple of times that I were willing to jump in the ocean and have a shark put me out of my missery.
I need to get back on the water, Been too busy lately.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who stays out over 6-8 hrs. (Sometimes longer )
My other half is usually pretty understanding and can keep herself busy, most of the time. But sometimes its like , Jesus woman.... Let me fish ! My phone is in a waterproof bag and it is a pain to get to with a pole in one hand and a cervesa in the other!

For your sea sickness issue go to your doctor and ask for the pill form of scopace. Take it before you go out on your kayak and you will not be sea sick again. Don't mess with the patch, although it works, that one you have to put on the night before you go out. The pill works even if you are on the water. My dad was sick and the guy we were fishing with gave him a pill of scopace and in 10 minutes he was already feeling better, and was right as rain the rest of the day. Trust me it works you'll be able to stay out longer.
