Does no body work?

[BulletTJ]

I put in this morning at Grasshopper. Got a late start, hit the water at 8 a.m. Fished until 12:00 had to finish a lawn project. When I tied up to the dock and started walking to the truck, I noticed the parking lot was full. Full as in there was only one empty spot. It is a Thursday for crying out loud. As I was leaving I passed 3 other rigs headed in. They must run a shuttle bus there on the weekends.
I can remember going fishing during the week and only 3 or 4 trucks in the parking lot. I guess I really am getting old. I just wonder how everyone gets off work on Thursday.

That's every ramp on the lake every day of the week. And the pleasure boaters haven't got crunk up yet.

Of the 4-5 ramps I frequent, I'm usually the only trailer in the lot. On a busy day there will be 2-3 other trailers. That's because I fish fort Loudoun! Hahahaha

I have often wondered the same. Additionally, look at all the people on the road. Moron alert is screaming RED!

It's usually pretty crowded during the week now but theres a HS tourney out of Dayton and the CBA this weekend so there's probably quite a few prefishing for those.

Busiest lake I’ve ever fished by far.

 

[JEEPnFISH]

I haven't been fishing once this year! I work all the time, on call every other week also. Had the flu , the rain has been too cold and nasty at times. And I've been battling pneumonia for 2 weeks now!
I may get to fish come August.

Yeah, well. One of my favorite things to do since retirement is pulling my boat through rush hour traffic without a care in the world as to whether I'll be late to the boat ramp or not. emoLaugh

I went to Tims Ford on a Friday a few weeks ago and I didn't even see another boat all day. No one in any parking lot. It was spooky since i was used to all the traffic on Chick.

 

[djsmarinelectronics]

Welcome to fishing on the Chick....it just gets worse as it gets warmer.

 

[Smalliefan2]

No, actually I don't work, and fish whenever I want. Put in my fifty or so years, and retired.

Keep dreaming Alice, Wonderland is just over the hill.

it kills me as im driving away from the lake everyday for work to see all the boats headed to the lake. but everyday i pass 3-10 boats on 58 headed that way.

 

[Kickerfish]

There was about 10 boats at Marion County Park this morning. I have no answers.
