I have been with my wife for 4 years now, 2 of them married. We have an 8 month old daughter. I sit down with her in the spring and show her on the calendar when I'll be fishing. I skip the spring schoolies, and slack off in the summer doldrums, and no winter twinkie holdovers. But when there is a good chance at a hog in the spring and the fall, and there is a good tide she knows I will be fishing. I don't fish 100 nights anymore. Probably more like 50, but I know that my chances at a good fish during those nights is best.
When I get home, if the night sucked or I am dead tired, I don't show it. I am happy to be home, and I let her know that I had a great time fishing.
As my career and other responsibilities have grown, I have come to appreciate my time with my family and my fishing time more. I think I used to just take it all for granted.

tell her "nothing brings us closer together than time apart"
if she buys that, have her give my wife a call and talk her into it.  |

You have to make an agreement... that's what I did and we ALMOST never FIGHT ABOUT IT!

In all seriousness... I told her that during the season I need to be out 4 nights a week... Mon, Wed, Thur, Sat. If the fishing's hot I go more and sacrifice another night later. If the weather sucks or if there's nothing around... don't say "I'm staying home tonight because the weather sucks" and don't sap it up either with the "Aw shucks baby, the fish are jumpin' on shore and all I can think about you buttercup"... just stay home and when the time you usually leaves comes and goes, she'll ask and you can just say "eh.. just felt like staying home tonight... wanna watch a movie?" Mike, I know the allure of single life sometimes seems... well... alluring, but don't let fishing ruin a good thing (that is if it's good)... make the agreement fight through it for a while and the seas will calm down... or they did for me, although at times the storm still rages on....
