Freeing up a half or full day on a regular basis when you have a busy job and young children isn't always easy, and as time goes by, our outings become less and less frequent. So fishing here and there for an hour or two, or even ten minutes, can be an excellent solution.
Even outside this very specific context, we'll see that the multiplication of fast exits has many advantages and is a source of progress and significant benefits.
An obvious prerequisite
If you want to fish for half an hour or an hour, there's one sine qua non that we all have in mind: proximity to the fishing spot! If you've got 1.5 hours to spare, you don't want to spend half or more of it in your car.
What's more, fast outings require you to fish from the shore or to have a place at the pontoon and explore spots as soon as you leave port.
When to use them?
The most obvious answer to this question is, of course, whenever you have the opportunity. For example, lunch breaks or afterworks are perfect times for a quick "fishing trip". I remember a time not so long ago when, not yet having children, I'd get up 2 or 3 times a week (in May and June) at 5.30 a.m. to go fishing from 6 to 7 a.m. before going to work. These early-morning shifts were particularly productive.
So, beyond the logistical aspect, the best time to organize a quick outing is a precise window of opportunity that may correspond to a criterion of luminosity, water height or color, weather, tide times and coefficients. In short, targeted moments when we know for sure that fishing will be done in 30 minutes, and that outside this time, there's no point in insisting.
More profitable outings
With this logic in mind, you'll find that over the course of a season, your catch/fishing hour ratio is much higher.
This can be explained by the fact that some of the fishing slots chosen will be much better targeted in terms of fishing strategy, and that the increase in the number of outings will also mean a non-negligible increase in peak activity.
More progress
If time spent at the water's edge is an obvious source of progress, the number and variety of outings is even more so. In fact, by multiplying the number of times you spend at the water's edge, you'll encounter a much wider variety of situations and contexts, from fish activity to weather conditions, water colors and so on. As a result, you need to systematically identify different patterns and create a much larger internal repertoire of solutions. Consciously or unconsciously, these solutions become part of your fishing strategy.
If you also keep a detailed fishing log, there's no need to tell you that you're going to make great progress!
Being organized
When you're on a 30-minute to 1-hour outing, it goes without saying that you don't want to waste any time. That's why you need to be particularly organized, i.e. your rod should always be ready for use in your tackle box. It's totally out of the question to have to make a new leader when you arrive at the water's edge...
In the same spirit, it's counterproductive to take a bag of lures! 5 or 6 lures perfectly chosen according to the context and your experience are quite sufficient.
