How long do you typically stay out fishing? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

raffman55 · 02-28-2013, 09:43 AM

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!

As long as the wife will let me! Or until whom ever fishes with me is crying to go home! Went out last night at 3:30ish didn't get home till 6 this morning.

wow - I see I'm not alone on the conditions that determine how long you are on the water..... wife/her/other half/texts/honey-do-list. I really thought I was the only one.

tacmik · 02-28-2013, 06:45 PM

Depends on how long the honey do list is. The longer the list, the longer I stay out.

As long as your ass can hang.

Mr hooks · 02-28-2013, 08:24 PM

As long as my seat can stand it or until I can't lie to my wife any more.

echo1er · 02-28-2013, 08:25 PM

If I'm out with a buddy. Till they say
If I'm out by my self. Till I deemed it on safe.

PapaDave · 03-01-2013, 07:52 AM

Assuming the conditions are okay, I will be out 10-14 hours in the summer time.

sasha · 03-01-2013, 09:43 AM

Damn why did they stop making Scopace??? I have tried all the remedies I were told about. Pills, herbs patches you name it. Nothing works what so ever. If anything many times they made me even more sick then before. Now I don't take anything, When I start to feel sick I pull everything inside and start to move. Fast paced paddle and that settles me down and makes me feel better.

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.

Those pills were called Scopace, and they worked awesome. Unfortunately they were discontinued by the mfgr about a year ago and you can no longer get them. I stocked up prepper style

I like to stay out on the water about an hour, sometimes less.
