My first date with my girl was Fishing then the mews. While my fishing has been cut back sence my GF moved in , she understands my love of fishing, well most of the time she does . I still get out 3+ nights a week.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your girlfriend, you should console yourself by not concentrating on her and what you lost, and try to focus your attention on some other pursuit - like fishing like a madman for the next couple of months.

This thread has given me a new appreciation of my wife. I just had a week off and did 3 nights and days of fishing. She did not complain and we have quite a bit of 'projects' around the house (and her birthday to boot). She really does not seem to mind my trips in the early morning hours and even gives me the go ahead for occasional weekend long fishing trips with a buddy of mine. She even gave me the go ahead for the tin boat purchase and went into a store last week near her work to try and buy me a rod that I wanted. She will even go fishing on occasion with me (fresh and saltwater).

Actually, one of my old girlfriends was really into flyfishing and we did that quite a bit, so these women do exist, you just have to search around a bit to find them.

while on the subject..

i sort of have an odd dilemma..
my girls grandfather used to take her all the time. so she wants to come out with me. which i am all about. we havent gone yet, cause it's a semi long distance relationship (north shore vs south shore) and honestly.. there a much better ways to the spend the time when we do see each other. heres the thing. i don't intend on letting her be the one of a life time that got away. so once we do see each other more often.. that means more time to fish together more often..

now i'm getting ahead of myself here.. but what if she wants to go EVERY time? i'm kind of afraid of that. i mean it's not a terrible thing. but fishing is my man time... i'm not so sure i want my girlfriend looking over my shoulder when i'm telling dirty jokes about fishing.. you know the jokes of which i speak...

I'll tell you what I must have the best wife anyone could have. I go fishing just about everyday and night. I hardley ever get any comments about the time I spend on the water and when I do I just say tell me when you want me to stay home usually she says just go you will be happier.Its either I go fishing or go to the bar you choose.

She must have a Boyfriend

Who needs therapy when you have a forum of instant wisdom and salted advice? Seriously, obviously fishing was not the dealbreaker, but the fact that I would much rather go fishing than hang around with her had a major role in deciding that maybe she wasn't the one for me. I do know that there is someone out there for me, and when I meet her, I will put her first, but if I can't do that now, it is better to throw her back, we will both be much happier.

I know the day will come, when I walk down the bike path, and among the rocks of the canal, will stand a vision from the heavens, holding a 10' Lamiglas, with long flowing blond hair and a face like a goddess. We will become one with the green flowing water and will slay bass, side by side, into eternity.

Hows that for romance.

Hey Joe,,Thats a tough call we ain't getting any younger.When will I get another cahnce at a 20 something...

I'm lucky I had to break my girl in. She went thru the "U don't have any time for me"thing.I said oh well.Like every other one.Well she got over it.Took me a long time to find one that finally understands.I am 47 yrs old now. With no intrest in getting married.She's ok with that.I think at our age( she's a few yrs younger) the logistics finally are working to my favor..She calls me fishing guy.The love of a good women is something no man should be without..Figure out what it is U want.

I see guys doing that..I know a guy his wife nevermind..
Anyways,The last thing I wanna do is drag my girl around fishing.
I enjoy my time on the water alone for the most part.
No hundred questions,no I gotta pee,,No when are we going home..

no no no... thats a girl who doesn't WANT to fish. i'm sure we all try that once with every g/f. if they WANT to fish it seems like a different story..

Circlehook, sounds like you got the fever in a bad way. My advice to you is that you go for it 100%, go as hardcore as you can for as long as you can as long as you have the gas in your tank, and do it until either you achieve your 60lb goal, you find that it is your life's calling to be a died in the wool surfman, or else you have a moment of truth when you ask yourself if there isn't something missing.

I did something like that, just told myself I was going to go as hard as I could until I hit the wall, went three+ years straight with fishing as no.1 and everything else on the back burner, and then something went click. Now, I'm still into it and think about it all the time, but I'm no longer ready to live out of my car for it...but there are days when I think what if...

[ilovetwofish]

Well thats O.K. if she has a boyfiend I get hundreds of girls from April to December.

Aw gee Circlehook, 27 years old. I remember when I was 27...I think.

I was dating three girls named Elizabeth, (Beth, Betty & Betsy). Plus there was the FISHING. I was a busy boy! All the Elizabeths are gone but I'm still fishing.

Enjoy life, go with the flow... preferably an out going tide.

Exactly.
I take her in controlled environments, on the boat, bottom fishing for short trips. Easy for her and me. even got her baiting her own squid strips!

But in the surf... no way.. thats my time

The girl/fishing thing, the girl/booze thing, the girl/reading thing. Me, me, me. Total self-absorption. I learned a lot when we got divorced. I got rid of one out of three and learned to listen to someone other than myself. But it's fun being compulsive--the fishing world needs odd balls.

here she is

My girl and I have no issues.But I don't fish as hard as I used to either,
way to many aches and pains.Plus with things to do around the house and work I don't have the time for 3 all-nighters anymore.She will also on occasion fish with me.Sundays are racing and football.

I guess I'm lucky,I have get both.

[fishbones]

Good luck with finding her, Circlehook. You'll know when you meet the right girl. My wife my is best friend and miss her when we're not together. But, I still have a ton of fun when I go away with my buddies for the weekend. I like knowing that when I get home she'll be waiting for me. My wife is good with the fishing thing because she know it's important to me. But, she also knows that she and my son are most important to me. I just do my best to balance the two. I make sacrifices, but still probably get out more than a lot of people. I ended up giving up golf when I had a child because there is not enough time for 2 passions and a hobby. My family is #1 and fishing is #2, then if there is any time left over, it's sports on T.V., work around the house and cards with my friends. If I have any regret, it is missing out on a lot of good fishing when I was single because I was more interested in raising hell and chasing skirts than being out fishing in the middle of the night.

Hey Circlehook,
Hang in there, know the feeling mine back in July after 13 years give me the option, her or the fish, I took the fish. Lots of fish in the sea. I'll start looking after the season over, thou you ever know. Was out headboat fishing yesterday and met a nice one, but did not go any farther with it, still fishing season.

[Rockfish9]

It took 13 years of Striper season,deer hunting,water foweling, fur trapping, ice fishing and Salmon fishing to drive my first wife away and to the nut house(not ALL my doing)... it took 6 years to find another one that is just plain glad when I leave....amazingly she's still happy when I get home...

You only live once... you'll be dead a long... long time... the decision is easy.

[ilovetwofish]

How did you get a picture if my wife.
