Michaels Harbourside, a date and fishing

[PaulS]

My wife is always telling me that I should fish more

I think you should squeeze two dates out of your idea. Make a night of the nicer dining out place and on another night make it subs on the beach, fishing, watch a nice sunset from the life guard chair. One thing, though, when you take her fishing go somewhere where it's not too crowded. First time I took my wife fishing it was elbow to elbow and I didn't even think that she'd never casted a line before. I ended up getting pissed because when she crossed other guys' lines I had to retreive it. Every cast went sideways. It was a nighmare. Still have that reel she threw down in the sand when she headed back to the truck crying. It all worked out though, 25 years later she's not much on surf fishing but we share lighter tackle sometimes.

oh and one more thing, you really can't be that much into fishing if you are asking where to fish in the Newburyport Area!

I have stayed married 41 years by doing the following. I go fishing. She goes shopping.

Leave it alone.

Advise to live by....the only thing I can add is AMEN!

I dunno, Joe - there's been more than a few pretty cogent comments so far

Boy, dating advice from S-B.com - who woulda thunk it...

Sorry some of you boys cant enjoy fishing with your woman....

Funny too, because most guys I meet tell my husband how lucky he is and how they wish THEIR wives would go fishing with them...

Same here Jenn! I always fish with my husband and he loves me being there.
I have seen more guys dump more women because they don't fish.
These guys just don't want to admit it in the man cave.

I think if I were you, I'd ask first if she would like to go fishing.

Thanks Clammer, nice post.
