Tell her its the club, bar or fishing her choice! Really though it shouldnt have to come to this. If she cant support your hobbies then odds are she'll never support anything you do!

HeHe, Good one.

You could do what I do. Make life with you so miserable shes glad to get you out of the house, then treat her like a queen when you come home. Its a pavlovian thing.

Im more confused than ever after reading cooches post. Wouldnt be easier if woman had pos and negative terminals. Just so ya know I took my wife on a test drive at folsom in feburary on a couple of float tubes. Waves were breaking over are heads. I figured if she loved fishing that much she was a keeper. Anyways dont get me wrong I am happily married but she hasnt fished with me since. :cry:

The last time the wife said no to going fishing was a very bad day. I figured sense I was having a bad day everyone else within ear shot of me would have a bad day also. When she asked me if this was how the day was going to be I replied no this is how it's going to be until I get to go fishing and releave some stress. That was over eight years ago. Now she just wants to know when I'll be back.

Now there's also away around it by taking the correct people with you then it doesn't count as a day out fishing with the guys or getting away from the stressful house, any time my father in law comes over and does some electrical work while I'm at the station I pay him back with a trip to his favorite spotted bass lake. Payments like that are really hard to put off tell the last day and some times I tip him with an extra trip and the wife never thinks twice about saying no. Taking my childern out for the day don't count because a Dad has to have some alone time with them and any time I take my father out it dose't count as I still owe him a bunch of trips from when I was younger.

Here I am!!! LOL

Wow I don't think there's a perfect way to answer this. ALL WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT!
All situations are too. I agree with Sean and Cooch on a lot of things. Both are excellent posts. BUT what it all comes down to is YOU and Your SPECFIC situation. Did you fish before marriage, are there kids involved, do you fun fish or looking to fish pro? There are so many variables that can affect your situation that may not be the same for others.
Here's where you start. Sit down and talk to her. Find out what exactly it is that bothers her about you fishing. Is it too much, lack of trust, kids miss ya or flat out selfishness? Maybe she would like to fish with you? Maybe she needs more friends or hobbies of her own?
I could write for hours about this but it'd be to general and wouldn't help. Start with finding out what she thinks is wrong with it and then post again or keep her talking and figure it out.
Good luck!!

I'm glad I dont have this problem with my fiance. She's 3 months pregnant and just spent labor day weekend camping with me at Clear Lake and went out fishing all day all 3 days. As far as quality time goes, a lot of the quality time I spend with her and my daughter is out on the boat. I have, for the most part, quit fishing tourneys and instead take them iwth me when I go out on the water. She supports any and all fishing that I want to do and has no problem with the amount of money I spend on my fishing stuff...On the same token, I'm also there for her and my daughter as well. If there's something I know she wants to do or if my daughter has a sports event or something she's really looking forward to I plan my fishing trips around it and make sure I'm there for them.

there are women out there that it doesn't matter how much you try to do for them, it doesn't make a difference. My ex was one of these women. She fought me every step of the way and hated me fishing. Actually, come to think of it, she hated pretty much everything I liked to do. That's why I traded her in for a new and younger, more understanding model. Usually, a wife or GF that doesn't let you fish and gets mad at the thought of you enjoying a day on the water is indicative of other problems in the relationship.

CHITS

years ago. I mean a long time ago there was a thread about CHITS. CHITS were something that men thought they could save up in order to do guilt free what they wanted to do. Well as we all know as men, we can't ever do anything we want to "guilt free"

Im ready for bed after all that deep thinking. I have been married 9 yrs. When I wanna go fishing I usually reach down and grab my marble bag, confirming Im the man and say 'Hey Baby, going fishin'

Not sure what all the lovey dovey communication stuff is for ? In order to go fishing.....ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Another fine term would be "make the wife work" give em something ta do when there aint no cooking,cleaning or back rubbbing needing to get done.

I hear G rubs a fine foot.

ROTFLMAO 8) I got to agree with Bruizer on this one. I've been married for 19 years and we dated for 4 years before that. She knew what she was getting way before we ever got married. The only thing I will miss fishing for is my Kids sporting events. Other than that as Brad Paisley would say " I'm going to miss her when I get home".

Or to put it another way, I was the best man at my sisters wedding but I had a tourney at Oroville that day. I told her she better change the date. Well she didnt. I went to the tourney anyway and said I'll either be there or I won't. I got there just as they were starting. There I was up at the Alter smelling like fish.

SPEW !!! -- For the record............ Bernie Ward has never said on inteligable thing is his Life !!!!! (that is his closing line for his radio show...)



Also Bruizer is not being 94% truthful ......... When he tells his wife he is going fishing-- He puts down the TV remote, bowl of ice cream and sets aside the fresh pile of laundry just out of the dryer fresh out of the dryer......................... Shuffles 18' out the back sliding door and makes a cast or 7 into the water from his back deck before returning to announce he is home and he did not snag anything to flopping back on the sofa, picking up the remote and hoping that his icecream has sofened up some. :roll:
You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like, you'd say to somebody: "You're gonna like this guy; he's all right. He's a goodfella. He's one of us." You understand? We were goodfellas, wiseguys.

Maybe you should start to gamble, drink, smoke, and attend night clubs. Then ask her which ones she would rather you do. FISH or gamble, drink, smoke, and attend night clubs lets see what she decides.

I just get up before the wife does, go to her purse, open it, take my balls out and go fish. Kidding, she tells me to go fishing. She told me last week to start looking for a newer boat.

I don't know, my wife hasn't ever told me I couldn't do anything. That's a two way street though because I don't tell her what she can and can't do, we're both responsible adults that have family as our first priority.

Take into consideration that I am very much a family guy who knows when the kids are participating in something I need to be at, helps them with homework when it isn't over my head, marks down and actively attends important dates for the entire family and makes plans to spend as much time with my wife and kids as I can. I also often bring the kids with me fishing so I get double points when that happens.

April works odd hours and mostly over the weekend so I get to go fishing pretty much anytime I set my mind to do it. As long as I'm still paying the bills on time she's okay with me going fishing anytime. There are times when she does actually encourage it because she says it calms me down and makes everyone's life a bit easier i.e, when the stress gets dialed up in my home it's usually a sign that Pops needs to get out on the water.

It occurs to me that when someone starts telling their adult loved ones what they can and can't do that the road ahead is likely to be a bumpy one. Mutual respect is what April and I have built our relationship on and it seems to work awfully well for us.

No sister...sorry Dan.....When we started dating she talked to my mom and my mom said the first thing you have to understand is that Tyler will always love bass fishing more than any woman, so if you ever want to see him you better fish with him. Lucky for me she got "hooked" our first date was bass fishing. If not I would have been fishing solo alot more. Now she has all her own rods and tackle and fishes tournaments with me when she can.

I know there are more of them out there, my buddy fishes all of his team tournaments with his wife and she loves it too.

Re: No problem here.

Post by bassindon69 »

When I met my wife we talked a lot about likes and dislikes. I said fishing has always been a part of my life and if there was a problem with me fishing at least once a week then we would have problems. I also told her she is 1st on my list to go fishing with me, always. I still ask her if she minds if I go out of respect. It is never a problem with her. I am a man and forget appointments now and then but she keeps me straight. If you feel you need to "Man up" well you maybe looking for a fight. She may want to woman up on you to LOL! One of the hardest things is bringing a bass boat and bass fishing into a relationship. You better do your best to include the family. I do feel lucky to have my wife. She has got me a Color graph GPS, Many lures, lure retrievers, rods and reels, rain suites and on.....
She also is my partner and best friend. I think that everyone is different and it works out different for many. I got lucky with my wife she is the best. She stands behind me on fishing. For a woman who never fished before she met me, she is doing great! She has a PB of 9.7 lbs on a swimbait. THATS MY WIFE! I love her very much, she IS my best friend. If you can't work things out then maybe it's not meant to be. You can call it what you want, I call it happy :D

My most excellent wife loves to fish and goes with me as much as possible.

Her PB from Clear Lake is an 8-12 that I happily netted for her earlier this year.

We've been together for just about 25 years now and fishing is an endeavor both of us enjoy and it's one of the key things we do together. It certainly does involve some trade-offs, but those are farily small and insignificant when taken in total.

Kurt,

I have been begging MY wife to come learn how to bass fish...(I'm sure someone out there who knows how could teach her... :lol: ) but she can't seem to get past the whole "up at the crack of Noon" thing she likes on weekend. How did you get you wife to get up early?
Also, Is there some kind of support group for wives with fisherman husbands in Lake County?

Do they meet the same night as the "woman's dental health club" in Lakeport? :shock: :evil: :wink:

I have to ask after my drive through town there a few weeks back.

Well don't give up they're out there. Personally, being a woman trying to get more involved in the sport, it can be intimidating. I think that there are plenty of women that would like to fish with their husbands/boyfriends if they didn't feel like they were invading personal space. It requires some patience to teach without making her feel intimidated. A women is likely to give up and not enjoy it if you make her feel like a "girl" when she fishes.

But if you're really not having any luck try the personal ad thing. Send me the link so i can check it out. :wink: :D

I'm a lucky man! My wife loves to fish, and she's pretty good at it too. So, when she's not with me, she understands why I'm out there...........she recently told me "you're so lucky I love to fish"....hmmm, I think she's the lucky one! Just do what ya got to do bud, she'll get over it. NEVER, EVER give up your passion. Before ya know it, she'll be controlling something else you love to do. Take her with ya, maybe she'll like it.

"I'm Gonna Miss Her"

Well I love her
But I love to fish
I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
Today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose
If I hit that fishin' hole today
She'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lake shore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, look there, I've got a bite

Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
But that water's right
And the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might catch today

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lake shore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, look there, I've got a bite

Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, look there, I've got a bite


Just leave this in the CD player for her when she gets up :P

I'm retired, divorced and been with the same woman for about 10 years. Just like being married, but not official. Our relationship has always been a give and take with a lot of communication.

Bought my boat about a year ago and she knows how I feel about fishing. Unfortunately I haven't been able to go out since the Rally@ClearLake. So, this afternoon, she comes out and says, "Honey, I know we're short on money, but I think you should take a day and go fishing. I would much rather see you come home tired and happy then see you hanging around here being a grouch."

What can I say. Just another reason why I love her. Never would have brought it up myself. Was waiting til we had enough spare change.

In upstate NY there's a tradition when men gather in the spring and line the banks of a small pond and fish for trout elbow to elbow. My brother in law invited my wife (his sister) to go with him. It wasn't very long before she fell in the cold cold water and started to sink. They had to form a human chain to get her out, as she thrashed around in the pond. The fishing wasn't very good for a while. Several guys invited her to leave. They rehash that story every time they get together.

Yadda Yadda Yadda, Bla,Bla, Bla, :twisted:

I'am suprised at some of the ( I Cave Man You Woman ) resposes to a basic question. No Wonder Divorce is so damn high ! There are only a few responses that really hit the point if ya ask me.

Cooch, Dewain, Bass Girl, sTony and a couple others made the mark, most of you guys are still in the dark ages. What is going on fellas???

Ya just grunt when ya want a little loving ???????????

I am no prince for sure, and I got plenty of bad habits too. Just ask my wife of 37 years she will tell ya.

I fished long befor I met Kathy and the Bass thing has been somthing only going for 10 years or so.

But she has never said no when I asked her and I have never said no when she asked me if she could ither, (Notice I ask not tell )

One thing most of you NEANDERTHALS have been missing is the basic rule of a good marrage AND IF YA DONT GET IT I LL SPELL IT OUT FOR YA ( C.O.M.M.U.N.I.C.A.T.I.O.N ) no secret there , just plain everyday talking. I never shout over her and she never shouts over me, period. This thing of telling her and not asking her went out bout 5o years ago guys. I tell her I lover her and mean it , I rub her back when its sore, I listen to her when she talks and I help around the house, no I dont like to wash windows but I do it and shut up. We raised two fine young MEN for sons who are striking out on there own, who hopfully have respect for there future wives as well.

It's all about respect and communication with the other in your life gentelmen, if ya dont have it for her, how can ya have it for your self.
Cept maybe if ya just grunt real loud, and keep em barefoot and pregnet. MAN TALK ABOUT CLUELESS. OR MAYBE YA JUST FOR GOT YOUR WEDDING VOWS.
Yeah ? It's Me Again, SO WHAT!!!!!

Hi, I am a wife of a avid fisherman. I have to say there are some very clever idea's out there. I was quite impressed actually.
I can't believe she won't let you go. How about a little support for her husband.
I love it when my husband goes. He comes back all relaxed, and a much better mood than when he went. He gets to have the time with the guys and just do his own thing.
My #1 reason why I let him go, is I would rather him go fishing and play with fish, rather going to a nuddy bar a playing with!! You guy's know.
Good luck,
The Ball & Chian.

The first time I actually fished with my wife it was for bluegills.

She said later,

"I never felt closer to you, than when we were fishing."

Can't beat that. We went Bass fishing and she kicked my rear. And we went again, and this time while kicking my butt she says,

"This is easy! You guys talk about it like its tough!" :D

Fishing addiction can cause SERIOUS stress or destroy a relationship.

You have to think about things, when it is a tournament morning at 2:AM, and your wife is already up with a screaming baby stressed out to the limit.

No matter what, if you get divorced its gonna affect your game, your ability to get out there, or even own a boat.

Sometimes you stay home, so you CAN fish.

.02 and everybody should be a man etc. But don't wreck things along the way to make the TOC.
