Sometimes I find this annoying when fishing- fish counting.
I know how many I catch if it is a very slow day- say 3 fish in a 8 hour day or if I just fish for a hour or something. Honestly- if I catch more than 5 and miss a few sometimes I completely lose track.
Some buddies I fish with never count and some keep a running total and like to report to me exactly how many the landed and how many they hooked into when we reunite after fishing apart for a while.
This is important to them and are not afraid to voice there disatification with the whole outing. Sometimes I don't think they even see the mountains around them- "I did'nt come here to sightsee."
Some buddies whine- this stinks here "Let's move." When I am just settling in and am quite content just to stay.
Don't get me wrong I want to catch fish but I don't go crazy over it. I certainly don't want to come in last place most of the time. Sometimes I just want to fish to a certain fish or a certain way-maybe my mood or flybox dictates that.
What are your thoughts on fish counting?
Does this effect your outing?
Do you ever move spots?
How quickly does it take you to decide this?
