I have driven 4 hours in a day to fish for about 8 and then drive back 4 again that night. Usually involves waking up around 3:30 and on the road around 4 and at the lake around 8 ... fish until about 4 or 5 pm give or take and then drive back and be home around 9 with a dinner stop. Do that a few times a year.
Tourneys, I've drove 12 hrs, but for a day trip only about an hr to 1.5hr. I fish a very long day and don't like to drive too far on each end. Trips that I plan on staying for few days to a week I'll drive a longtime.

Of course I talk to myself...sometimes I need expert advice.
I've fished from thousand islands New York to the big O in Florida and everywhere in between. So obviously driving to fish doesn't bother me.
I regularly drive 3 hours to catch nothing. Sometimes the boat doesn't even come off the trailer.
If I were staying for a couple days I would do it.
I go to Fork and Big Sam every so often. Long ride for me. Lucky I have Pickwick and others 30 minutes to 2 hours away.

I'm flying 12 hours to catch fish this fall.
Nowhere is too far for the right experience.
Fishing is the answer to everything.
