Women fishing

[DELLIS]

Does anybody else take their wives or girlfriends with them mine thinks she is the only one that is forced to go fishing

[ryang]

My wife will go with me occasionally but most of the time its me and my oldest son

[fwmud]

Yea she goes, that is if I want to go and not be in trouble when i get back.
Duh! She loves to fish. Just ask the rest of the crew that went to "Bank fishing with attitude" trip. They'll tell tell ya what a hoot she is to have along.

[bro_catfish]

Yeah my wife will go with me if were bobber fishing . She isnt much into catfishing, she says its boring I say shes crazy lol

[Bigun]

I am not sure wheather I take her or she takes me. She sure swells up when I leave her at home. I do take an ocasional day out fishing with the Boys. I can't think of anyone that I would rather fish with day in day out. She was the only girl in a family with three brothers. She was closer to her dad and was sort of tom boy growing up. She can back a boat trailer better than most men. This is the third time around for both of us, We both got it right this time. If your wife feels she is being made to go and or doesn't enjoy going with you, either don't force her or go do something with her that is equally distastefull to you that she wants to do. I have set through some of the sorriest movies you can immagine because she wanted to see them. I even manager to smile a little.:)

[THE CATKING]

Took my wife of 28 years one time with me. That's all it took ....:rolleyes: I catted for years with my son fishing all over the USA. He moved to Arizona so that put an end to that....Now I'm back to bummin with old friends....;) THE CATKING !!! ( The wife cattin did NOT work out....:rolleyes: )

[Tym2Fish]

Mine will go and God bless her she is sort of a "tree hugger" She wont let me fish with live gills or anything live for that matter (except worms) so it puts a cramp at times to what I want to do. The way I see it I try to balance out, time with Buddies, Time with Kids, and time with the Wifie. It works well for me I just have to accept the fact that when the Wifie goes I have to "adjust" my fishing style which I dont mind. I have tried to convert her but to no avail, I am not sure that I really want to. Nice to have that special someone out on the lake at night star gazing and just being there with me while I do the things that I love. I hope she doesnt read this cause she will then want me to start scrapbookin with her... NO WAY...:eek: LOL

[Ol Whiskers]

My wife used to go fishing with me when we were dating, more than 30 years ago. Then she pulled a bait-and-switch, and now only goes when we're on a pier, at the ocean, and the weather's not too hot, not too cold, not raining, not too sunny, not too windy, not too calm, no flies, gotta have hot and cold running water, no snakes, no eels, no "creatures" of any kind... Needless to say, she don't go much any more. I try to explain her loss, but that's life.

[doughboy]

thats funny sounds like she doesnt like to go out much

[shovelheadwolf]

my wife likes to go gill fishing, i take the whole family in the morning to catch bait . about an hour before sun down me and the boy head to the honey hole. dont need to take more gear than whats needed(bucket,toilet seat,toilet paper,lounge chairs ect ect) but when she does go she usaly cathes the biggest carp on a blue gill pole. every body reel in your poles mommas got another biggin!

[BIG-G]

The wife goes every chance she can.

Hey Rick. Thats a big ass flatty in your avatar. And, where is Cattanatti?

[Mutt]

it will be a rare day if i go fishing without my wife she likes to fish more then i do

[nosnag]

My wife was just on the edge of going catfishing with me till she smelled the dip and punchbait.:sick-big: Now I just go with friends with strong stomachs.
:grin-big:

[jim]

There is a VERY good article about women and fishing at the end of the latest In-Fisherman magazine written from a womens perspective,funny to.

[tcba1987]

yeah my wife goes with me most of the time, and most of the time she catches more fish then me or ends up with the biggest fish of the night. heck if i dont ask her to go with me , she gets mad. i wouldnt want it any other way, was married 5 years to a woman who hated fishing and had to fight for an hour with her everytime i wanted to go fishing, thats why i divorced her and married Renee. :rolleyes:

[THE CATKING]

Hey katfshn50- Cattinatti is also known as Cincinnati ....Ohio ...;) I was borned there and spent a few years on the mighty Ohio.... As you can see, the Ohio has some monster flatheads.....:grin-big: maybe not quite as big as my avatar , but big never the less....;) THE CATKING ............

[TDawgNOk]

My wife LOVES to go fishing. In fact, only time I can go without her is when I take my son for some father/son time. Otherwise, my wife is ready to go at the mear mention of fishing.

[fish]

Catking, how much did that hog weigh the you are holding in your avatar? That is one big fish.:)

[Desperado]

My lady loves to go with me fishing. She has her own fishing stuff and loves to fish for about anything.:)

[maddcatter]

I take my girlfriend all the time. She loves it. She kinda gets mad if I go without her.

[shorte]

Fishing??? That sounds like with a date with my husband. I love fishing just about as much as I love my husband, and yes I bait my own hook.

[BigCatSteve]

my wife is too clean to go fishing with me,took her when we first met about ten years ago and she hated it,witch works for me now when i need a break from everything i know i can go fishing and not have her right there in my ear telling me what she wants me to be doing.thank god cat season is starting.LOL:)

[pendog66]

one problem though Steve, its if she lets you go. How many times did i call your house to mess with her by saying, "Can Steve come out to play?":p

[BigCatSteve]

I cant help the fact my wife cant handle satin....Thats my boy(love ya Joshua)

[pendog66]

that kid is pure hellion, soon he can snap and start a fire, cant wait for you to get him in hockey thats going to be great

[BigCatSteve]

you should have seen him saturday while we were at the hockey game.He went after his cousin when he hit him with a toy.made him cry(cousin is 4)

[pendog66]

what about when Joshua stould over christopher and smacked him with the samari sword

[BigCatSteve]

lets just thnk god it was a fake sword and not a real one.i dont know where he gets his temper from but im glad he has it

[pendog66]

where does he get his temper are you kidding, thats like saying i dont like to fight at my hockey games. Steve he'll just have to learn to control it like you did, hes going to be a big boy

[BigCatSteve]

well it took me having kids to learn how to control my temper if it take Joshua that long alot of other kids are gonna be in trouble

[pendog66]

look out we have a bully in the making

Fishing with “the” women….. May I chime in here?

I’ve been a lurker for some time. This is my first post. :)

My Farmcat ( he reads here as well) will take me catfishing… Sure he will. We farm, it is his relaxation.

Relaxation?

He’d rather take my 13 year-old daughter, shown in his avatar picture. He struts, he brags, he continually tells me what great fishermen they are…

So I consider…. What does my daughter have that I don’t? We both carry 4 UglySticks a piece (I can do 6 on a good day ;) ).. we both pass the Gatorade, gag at the rotten shrimp and neither of us ever fails to knock a pole off the bucket. We’ve both been run over a time or two because he never trusts us to be fast enough on a quivering pole..

Why does she win?

Then I consider…. I usually take a blanket, which leads me to lay down to enjoy the stars.. on more than one occasion, ‘ol Farmcat will join me.

Well, Farmcat has never been one to waste laying down. .. not sure if it is the time elapsed or the snoring (Farmcat, mind you not me) but we both wake up to no catfish or no bait.. The cats love it when they see me skipping along behind him looking tired.

And my daughter ? I confronted her…

She confessed… She tells me her father promised to name her the best fishing buddy around, if she forgets that he accidentally threw that nylon lawnchair straight over her head trying to get to the pole that he just knew the “big one” was on…

And then.. after the struggle, her headache, and some apologetic remarks from her father.. they discovered it was a beaver.

Sure.. I get to go fishing… I just make sure I am dog-tired when he asks me... or he can settle for our bass-fishing fool of a son...

:) LadyCat

PS Someday I'll share where the big channel cat spent the night after the drive home when Farmcat was too tired to release it back in our lake...

[elphaba7]

This post just killed me! It's nice to hear from another lady (no jokes from the peanut gallery, please:p ) Welcome to you!

BTW, this wife makes homemade stinkbait, farms worms, and drags her husband along...:cool:

[LadyCat]

Jen ..

Thanks for the welcome.. Oh, but I have the stories.. lol

It's fun to visit here and read from other's points of view.. I know Jeff (Farmcat) really appreciates the knowledge, as well.

We do have fun..

And, on the homemade stinkbait... I really WAS wondering what I could do for Farmcat for Valentine's Day..

[SilverCross]

My wife would not dream of going fishing with me and after almost 25 years she know I am going and finally doesn't mind. Welcome to the BOC LadyCat.

[Ulizth]

[Dragger]

[LadyCat]

Lady cat, welcome to the B.O.C. Post more that was some good reading. I like those uply sticks. All of my rods are uglies. When I land a cat I,often say, under my breath,you been whupped with an uglu stick!!:) :)

[David Knotts]

I can't take my wife, she chews all my Redman. Nah I take when she can go she's not that bad, but she don't like to stay all day, and I do, but we have fun, we have a lot of fun whenour 4 year old gos, he's atrip in the boat, he caught his first bass last spirng reeled it in, and handed me his rod, kinda like I did my job, now you do yours dad. I told him, he had to unhook his own fish, and he said MOM! I need to do a ;ittle more training with him on that.lol

[peewee williams]

If you have a woman that loves to fish with you,be careful.You have a treasure.Treat it as such.You have a dream come true.If you are dreaming,well,who would want to wake up.Such a treasure is hard to find.peewee-williams

[IamMike]

My wife goes with me about 10%-20% of the time. She likes it, but can't fish as often as I do (whenever I can). Last year, she skunked me and some friends one night....

[RIP]

My wife is my fishing partner,and I wouldn't trade that for anything. Wecome to the BOC lady cat.

[LadyCat]

Thanks again for the welcome, gentlemen.

I’ve printed out Pewee’s post about women who will go fishing with you being a “treasure” and I politely taped it to the dash of Farmcat’s truck. I was thinking of wrapping it around the TV remote…

TopSgtLawrence, I’ve got more “women in fishing or simply LIVING with fishermen” (in my case, just one, I assure you) stories than you may care to chuckle at…

We are an UglyStick family, too… and I do mean ugly to the tune of 14 in the dining room corner alone. Oh yes, I speak the truth.. Farmcat has a problem, a very endearing problem to those of us that find homeless kittens cute.. in which case we’d understand..

Farmcat believes that every Walmart from here to there has a 7’ UglyStick needing adoption and a stable home. It’s a process with our family… when we can’t find Dad and we know he’s not farming or fishing, we bond together and make room on the back porch. We know his absence will mean a few more UglySticks called the hotline and were in need of a less fluorescent atmosphere.

We have a situation with lures, as well… and tackle boxes, and lanterns. Our desire to assist Farmcat with his Mother Theresa-like mission (forgive my comparison, Heavenly Father) to provide shelter and adoration to all hapless fishing equipment truly warms my heart. I know that our purpose has been fulfilled in clearing the Walmart shelves…. And in doing so, they can be restocked for the latest, the best, the must-haves of the next round of fishing collections…

I wonder why, then… Farmcat usually only insists on his Gatorade, his Cool Ranch Doritos and a big bag of smelly shrimp when he takes me so very gentlemanly by the hand to the catfishing hole… we never disturb the household collections..

Oh wait… that could be because he has 8 more UglySticks in the bed of his pickup… Makes sense not to get the 11 more behind the recliner in the living room wet or disgruntled..

And yes… I do dust them all…. very, VERY dedicatingly - if that’s a word… as I’ve seen Farmcat researching those Quantum reels for some of these babies..

Oh, but I like Walmart adoption prices better…

:0a18:Never would have guessed that fishing is still a family event great to see that alot of women are involved in fishing. all this time I thought i forced my wife to go fishing but the nice day we had a week or so ago she was actually the one that made me get the stuff out and we all went my son caught one dad and mom none
