Course I take the 'Handbrake' with me!
Otherwise I'd have to fetch me own beer, dig me own worms, pump me own yabbies, and carry the bloody esky!

Always. My wife, Susie, is my fishing mate. Our boat very rarely moves that her and I aren't together. She's a good fisho and loves the crabbing too. Helps with the launch and retrieve and will sit quite happily till the wee hours while we chase after the threadfin. I can't imagine not having her as my mate!

52% say yes? Wow, that is surprising. My wife is afraid of the ocean so she doesnt come out at all. Good that, cos fishing is the only place I get to have a smoke these days.

i would take the missus out anytime but fishin's not her thing would rather lie on the lounge and read a romance book also i reckon she's bad luck , when she does come out the bloody boat breaks down # kids love being out in the boat eventhough i don't get to do much fishin #but that scores me points for solo trips
... i only work to support my fishing addiction.....
Yeh take her fishing quite often, she loves it! Besides she's well trained and organises the food and beer etc. and when the fish go quiet.....well it's handy to have a woman on board
DR, like you i just have to say boat and my better half is sick for 2 days.lucky i suppose she would probably show me up,has done so on rockwall at amity point with bream and 6 bar blue parot fish (the real ones not tusk fish).
SNAFU.
Mine's a champ ... she went out and got her boat license so she can drive if I have a few beers ... I'm currently in the process of teaching her to reverse the trailer down the ramp, she helps with launch and retrival of the boat, likes to wet a line and will bait her own hook. Not keen on using live baits (yet) and still working on a few knots but overall she's got the makings of a great deckie. She comes out most outings despite occasionally suffering from seasickness .... but as she said, 'if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger!!!' #
You go girl!!! #

Erin loves to fish and used to chase marlin with me in NZ....haven't managed to coax her to come out wide yet but she'll be keen when I get to know the local waters a little better. We went over to Tangalooma (spelling?) on Saturday for lunch and had a ball with mac tuna on 3kilo on the way back......she's keen to get a womens team together to go over to the Bay of Islands for their lady's marlin tournament next year....it's huge and they have a ball .....perhaps one of the local clubs could do one (or does one) here.....I'd be up to help organise/promote and happy to put a team on my boat.
Our eldest kids (now in their 20's ) grew up fishing and our autumn leaf (now 9yrs) is keen as mustard.....ditto for helping out with a kids tournament.

Mines a beaut got her license so I can have a few insists on backing the trailer down[she's better at it than me].She doesn't like to go all the time so still get to go with mates.
I always go with my partner, Brad. Thankfully he is patient with me. We got our boat licences together, but I am still abit weiry about driving the boat. lol still practicing backing the trailer down, its a good thing I can laugh at my attemps. Slowly getting there. I grew up with fishing (fishing of the bank) so have no problems with baiting up or even cleaning the fish. (thats if I manage to catch any). I love the boat, the fishing and the whole experience. Nothing like being out in the waters, relaxing and having a good time.
Would love to, but she isn't interested. She says she would if we had a bigger boat, what are the chances of her actually letting me get a bigger boat, I don't think i have to answer that do I?
Mention the slightest hint of going fishing and she gets cranky as h*ll. It's like showing a red rag to a bull. In the end now all I do is go and enjoy the peace and quiet. i like the solo trips but normally have like any one of six deckies I can call on short notice.
She is always interested in the catch though, and then cranky about how long it takes me to wash the boat. Figure that.
