For the past couple years a group of friends (and friends of friends) have going a fishing trip together. Well this year it is not happening. I am by NO WAY a real fisherman. But damn, I find these trips fun and relaxing.
The moring starts with die hard fisherman in the group heading out fishing at the crack of dawn, others like me get up around 8am-9am. The die hard fisherman usually come back around 9am and we all eat breakfast. Then we all hit the lake around 10am and fish till noon. Then we hit a bar for lunch. Then hit the lake again until about 3pm. The die hards may stay on the lake but others like me head back and play video games or take a nap. Around 6pm we all get together to eat dinner etc. Then we start to play cards (Texas Hold em usually...but often it is drinking games as well). This goes on all night and we wake up and do it again. If there is a Nudity joint nearby we usually make a trip. But I can tell you the women at strip joint near fishing resorts are usaully nasty (which can be the funnest ones) because they have to put up with drunk, stinking (fishing all day and not showed) men. Some areas have golf and other activities as well depending how secluded the area.
Now the WHOLE TIME. From Morning to Night we are drinking. Bloody Mary's and Screwdrivers in the morning...then Beer throughout the day and night (some will switch to mix drinks late in the day).
Now this may sound boring to non-fisherman. I though the same thing as I only fished a few times in my life before. But I find it sooo relaxing and a great way to unplug from real life. I don't care if I catch a single fish (but usually its not too hard on these lakes as they keep them stocked) it is just a great time.
With that said...my group is not going this year for a variety of reasons. So, I wanted to see if any DSA would be interested in a fishing trip late August or early September. (NOT the week of Labor Day). I don't have a boat and would just rent one. But if someone had a fishing boat that would be great as the rentals are usually just ok. Cost could be anywhere from $300 - $600 depending on where and how much you want to rough it.
I've only been to MN and WI as it is close to where I live in IL. Plus the fishing is pretty good and the days are not too hot up north. However, I would traveling anywhere.
I have a RL friend that would be in. A perfect number is 6-8 as this number helps ensure there is always someone who wants to do the same thing as you (fish, play cards, video games, etc). Plus 6-8 is perfect for the night time card games!
So any interest?
