You sound like me last year. This is the trick. They have this little thing called a micky. Now, on nights you want to fish start the evening with cooking your girlfreind an in-expensive dinner (nothing to fancy, you needs to save money for the micky) Offer her a glass of champagne (before dinner, so she's out as soon as possible) slip the micky in her drink. She'll be asleep before dessert. Let her think she's getting dessert, but save the money you would have spent on dessert for bait/plugs and future mickys. Tuck her in bed and go fishing. In the morning she won't even have known you left.
