With work, kids, work, wives, crap weather and oh, work :x constantly interrupting our lives, I was wondering how many yak fishing trips 'average' AKFF'ers have clocked up this year (as a guesstimate).

I reckon that I average around one trip a week (however lately that average has dropped) so all up around 50 for me for the year. Most of mine are around 2-3 hours.

So, just out of interest, how many have you done this year? Would be good to do a comparison across members

Good thread Davey But a hard one to figure out. I reckon I'd be around 70 or so - at least one trip per weekend, some weekends I managed 2 trips, plus the occasional mid-week trip, minus a few trip-less weekends with poor weather :wink:

 

[andybear]

Im probably getting about 2 trips a month, so I reckon about 20, which is far more than I have ever got with the Tinny! Certainly a lot more fish.

Cheers all Andybear :lol:

Unfortunately, due to the change in ownership of this web site and the lack of response by the owners to my requests to remove my email address from all administrative-level notifications and functionality, I have decided to remove my posts on AKFF. Thank you for the great times, the fantastic learning experiences and the many many fish.

I got my yak in augest and i get out once a week now......but i normaly get up at 4 and im in the water by 5am and back around 12. So 7 hours a week and ive hand the yak 17 weeks now = 119.

matching the suitable weather with when I have time is the main reason I don't get out more often. Including my holidays I've been out around 20 times this year. I have done a lot more fishing this year doing a half a dozen surf fishing trips and a couple trips in boats belonging to friends. I have plenty of fish still so when I go out now its only for the pleasure of it, the fish are just a bonus.

A guesstimate would be about 40-50 times a year in the yak, and another 10 trips with mates on cruisers

 

[YakAtak]

I try to get out every day, but sometimes, the voices say NO

 

[paffoh]

What voices?

Mine just say 'McDonalds', luckily i never listen to them :lol:

Got my yak in August and have been out about 30 times so far, heading towards an average of 120 trips a year ( Average time - 3.5hrs ).

 

[troppo]

I'm lucky to get out 1x (or 2x) a month at the moment on average, for about 2-3 hrs. I am planning on talking with the boss about time-in-lieu of the unpaid overtime I do. Our office is going through change so very difficult for everyone but probably a good time to negotiate. I would like to get out early (say 3 pm) on a Wed or Thu for 2 hrs on the river. Weekends, at least 2x per month do 4-5 hrs at the beach.

 

[bazzoo]

At the moment, not enough , i suppose i get out once every 2 weeks to fish , however i am out twice a week in the tk1 with my old fart mates, so i suppose that gets me on the water about 120 times a year , but only fishing 25 times, gotta get more time fishing

 

[ms]

not as much as i would like

 

[Polar]

6+ weeks a [email protected] the coast , with some rest days - (yeah yeah I know I have to spend time with the kids) and the odd jaunt out in Canberra - but still not enough

 

[PoddyMullet]

The guessometer says 50-60 :shock:

 

[DGax65]

Less than twenty for me this year. It has been a pad year for me. My personal best was over 150 days. Ah, the good ol' days, before marriage and the new job.

 

[Dodge]

1.5 trips a day, get out 2.5 times a month.

Gatesy love those accountants averages.

With the .5 trips does that mean you swim back occasionally :roll: :lol:

 

[fisher]

probably averaging 2 out of 3 weeks or more - plus i play golf too . I should be ashamed of myself... :lol:

 

[knot-too-fast]

Marriage + kids + Cubs/Guides + Cricket training + running own business + working weekends + bloody wind = once every 2 weeks. :roll:

 

[JT]

I'm about the same as you knot-to-fast with similar circumstances i.e. wife+kids+running own business etc.

I am watching with interest who gets out most often and where they live. It is my bet that the guys on the coast in medium density urban populations that get out most i.e. the Gold Coast. My bet is that guys like me in Sydney get out less frequently simply because the spur-of-the-moment decision thing isn't as prevelant due to logisitics etc. Or perhaps it's a case of just not making the time. Certainly envy guys like you Red that get out so often

Guess I'm pretty lucky, Wife hates me & glad to see me out of the house, kids grown up & moved away (mostly) shift work & so on. I get to go pretty much when-ever I want.

Karl, re the voices. Aren't you wearing your foil hat any more.
