My wife usually lets me go whenever I want for the most part from May 1st until Oct. 31st (she actually talked me into that 2nd Cutty weekend). After that I pretty much give her the same courtesy and hang the gear up from Nov. 1st through Apr. 30th....that way I get 6 months and she gets 6 months. seems to work out OK.
But anthing involving the Kids always takes precedence (i.e. Scouts, Dance)
Another trick is to pick a few nights that really aren't conducive to fishing and then SAY that you ARE going fishing......Then, when the day gets here, make like you are gonna skip fishing to spend some time with her, you know, let her know that your thinking of her.
