I don't mind fishing with others and sometimes I really look forward to it (it's almost time, BG1[
]).
Taking my family with me is a great way to spend time together, but the kids aren't always into it, or maybe my wife gets cranky, which really takes away from the overall good time. Those trips are still treasured, but if I can see that it's not going to be fun for everyone, I'm fine to do it alone.
I spend a lot of my time doing things that I'd rather not do, for the good of my family. When it comes time to fish, I usually would like to get away from that and do exactly what I want to do.
If I see a little stream or pond from the road and want to pull over, I can! I've found wonderful places to fish by doing that.
If I have a hunch and feel like looking into it, I can! If I want to leave and try another water, I can! No party to consult first. That's bliss.
Then again, times with the family or friends is also time well spent. I'll take a healthy balance of all of it.
