I would rather fish alone, I find it much more relaxing. I am older and retired and a lot of the people I fish with have no patience at all, they want fish to jump in the boat or move, they are not enjoying the trip or they are on their phone constantly. I enjoy baiting up and presenting the set up to the target fish, I love the first feel of the bite and playing the fish is the best. I try to take good care of my catch, lots of ice. Dont get me wrong I usually ask a buddy along and do like the company, but at my age,72 most of my fishing pals will not get up early any more, I like to be on the water at dawn, hence I fish alone and love it...

Last year I'd wake up around 4 am & be out at the lake. In the summertime you have to get there just at daylight for the best bite time. I'd probably leave when it warmed up (around 10 am.)
