Depends on how I'm fishing. I won't take a boat out alone...too much can go wrong that one person can't handle; not with a heavy bass boat, anyway. When I lived near the biggest lake in NJ my cartop boat stayed on the roof rack when I wasn't fishing in it, which I did 3-4 days a week. I worked 2nd shift, so I had the lake to myself, at least the area I fished, 'cause everyone else was working. That also meant I fished alone most of the time. Now that I'm retired & can fish whenever I want, I'm still alone most times 'cause my fishing buddy's still working.
