Tonight my wife, my son and I took my in-laws to the Wharf Tavern in Warren Rhode Island. We sat by the window and watched for 90 minutes, birds working bait and decent size Stripers breaking. I was very distracted by this and my wife was getting aggravated with me and my son. Looks like its on! Time to get the new reel wet.

Next time suggest dinner at Hooters? :shocked:

Ah, the frustration of just having to watch bass in a feeding frenzy when you can' get in the chase. I've been in similar situations.
In a related matter years back while dining on the deck of a restaurant in CT., people were dropping food scraps to feeding stripers. Shortly, a boat with fishermen pulled up and dropped their lines to a chorus of "Boos".
Similarly, when I return to friend's dock to clean fluke, bass pick off the discards. We've never tried to catch these fish as they've become "pets" and it wouldn't be very sporting to drop a hook baited with the skin from a fluke's belly under those circumstances.

I had a date with a smoking hot girl about 10 years ago. It was November in Soco, we screwed around tog fishing off the rocks. We had a good time and didnt catch anything, only stayed for an hour so we could go exploring the area, ya know walk on a beach. The smell of fresh cut green crabs is a natural aphrodisiac.

Then we went to Georges and had a nice dinner. We sat upstairs over looking the harbor. As we are getting towards the end of dinner an all out blitz erupts. I quickly pay the bill and we head to the truck. I fish, she sits. First and last date... Wasn't meant to be i guess.

Its happened to me while eating at the Coast Guard House in 'gansett, several times. I think there's something about how their lights shine on the water.

Somehow the fish know that you're there with your "significant other" and knows that she will be the one who decides if you will be allowed to fish that night.

Kind of like how she knows when you have plans to fish, golf or watch football and she "finds" chores for you to do.
