Someone mentioned that I should clarify my numbers because it seemed like I was single handly catching huge numbers of fish at Henrys over the Thanksgiving weekend. My intention was never to decieve anyone.
For the record....
Wednesday: I was fishing with my neighbor and his three boys as well as one of my sons.
People Fishing: 6
Fish Caught: Around 20
Hours Spent Fishing: 4*6 people
Lines in the water: 13
Average fish per person: 3.33
Average fish per line: 2.16
Average fish per angler hour: 1.2
Friday: I was fishing with another neighbor and three of my sons.
People Fishing: 5
Fish Caught: Around 35
Hours Spent Fishing: 5*5people
Lines in the water: 13
Average fish per person: 5
Average fish per line: 2.7
Average fish per angler hour: 1.4
Saturday: I was fishing with my wife and three sons. I had another son and daughter there but I wouldn't say they were fishing.
People Fishing: 5
Fish Caught: Around 20
Hours Spent Fishing: 4*5people
Lines in the water: 10
Average fish per person: 4
Average fish per line: 2
Average fish per angler hour: 1.0
I actually think it was good to break it down this way. I don't like to sound spoiled but the fishing is slower than other Thanksgiving day weekends for me. There could be a lot of factors involved in that including ice conditions, but I just don't see the fishing as being overpopulated. Especially considering the good condition of the fish I was catching.
It would be interesting to see some of you other Henrys fisherman post what you got per man hour. Not for bragging rights but just for a non-scientific poll.
