Just kidding. Those are a couple of images I snagged off the internet.

I've only got the rope on when I'm drift fishing or at anchor when I'm fishing.

It’s trolling alone that’s more dangerous but doesn’t keep me from it .

Seriously fishing alone is just a bad idea. I was always that guy that loved to be alone as I too liked the idea of not having to worry about others onboard! But as age creeps your just not the same guy,and anyone who's spent any real time on the water has experienced a time or two all the reasons you need someone along . Besides it's just not worth the absolute living HELL my wife puts me through when she gets wind of the fact that I'm thinking about going alone OMG.

That is the best reason right there not to go alone! I couldn't stop laughing when I read that.

If you cant find someone to go fishing with you, it probably says something about you

This threads about fishing the ocean alone and I just don’t have a problem with it.

It was probably my favourite day out on the salt my buddy was sick and decided at the dock he couldn’t make it out there. The conditions were perfect no wind made for a run out in flat seas. I kept my floater coat on and hand held radio attached to me. It was calm quiet what a peaceful day the salmon were biting hard all morning. After my limit was in the hold I just drifted on the outside of the other fisherman drinking coffee and taking in the action. Once the coffee was done I run over to a halibut hole at slack tide three drops and a 40lb fish it was time. A slow cruise back to the harbour watching dome humpbacks feed along the way was amazing. To top it off I pulled one of our crab traps and it had six big dungeness in it.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.

If the wife encouraged you to fish alone, especially on nasty weather days...THAT might suggest something :)
