Fishing: Alone or with Friends?

Rule #27:  Never pose for a picture with booze in your hand.
 

Fishing with Company or Not

For me, there are really two different kinds of fishing:  alone or with friends.  They are almost completely different experiences.

I fish by myself most of the time.  I'm not sure if that's because I prefer to do so, or because my favorite fishing partners are very busy people:

--The Doc is lucky to get a few hours now and then to spend with his family, let alone fishing!

--My wife is the one person I'd like to fish with more, but she is also the busiest person I know.  Her dedication to her work, her Church, and her family is beyond compare.
 
--Of my children, Girl I doesn't enjoy fishing as much as I do, but she graciously does so because she is polite and likes hanging with her dad.

--The Boy is very busy also, but he and I have been fishing together more and more. I hope that we can keep this going.  I want to take him to "Keep Out Lake" soon.

--The Young Lady enjoys fishing up at Kelley's Island, and has won several KI "awards," but her heart isn't really into the sport other than those days.

--Girl II is engrossed in studies and the intricacies of teenage life, but she enjoys fishing--and cooking fish!--a lot.  More than anyone I've known for a long time, she understands the "Circle of Life."
