Anyone else fish to get away from their family for a bit?

Don't get me wrong, I love my wife and kids. But Saturday mornings on the lake are when I actually get to think. No one asking for snacks, no work emails, just me and my thoughts and hopefully some bass. Been doing this for 3 years now and it's the best mental health decision I've made. My buddy Mark started coming with me too and we barely talk, just sit there and fish. It's perfect.

Nothing wrong with needing that time to yourself man. Saturday mornings on the water is your reset button and that's healthy. You probably come back a better dad because of it.

I get it, but I also know that feeling is a sign I need more breaks. Instead of just fishing alone I've been trying to find more little pockets of time during the week so Saturday doesn't feel so necessary for escape.

The way you said that caught me though. If you're needing to get away from your family to feel like yourself, might be worth thinking about why that is. Not judging at all, just saying that was the wake up call for me.
