Well all you guy's who have fisher wives i envy you all so much.My wife can't stand the smell of bait, fish or anything that relates to fishing.I am a newly wedded guy and have been fishing for most of my life.My wife has never stopped me from fishing but also demands that i spread my time evenly,which is fair enough for me.Only problem is that when i go fishing for long hours i most times just want to get home shower and then hit the hay..
This is the time my wife chooses she wants and needs to go shopping,so i have to go shopping for hours even thogh im dog tired.I am desparate to get her interrested in fishing so that she can join me and then we both can be tired together,hopefully then she will not make me walk around the gateway or pavillion the whole day..
She also has a thing about getting sun burned so im not sure what to do maybe im going to take her night fishing only start slowly and move forward.Now that they closed North Pier it makes it even hardee because she nows says that she is going to get sand in her hair and makes every excuse not to go.
Anyone got any sugestions on how to get her hooked,Oh! and by the way she has been deep sea with me 3 times already and she never got sick once also she hooked three bonnies and she is still not hooked on fishing.This is the reason im stumped i thought that if she hooked up for the first time then she would be hooked for life,but i guess that i was wrong any help people would be great..

Hi All
my two cents here
my Ex was heavy into fishing and went fishing all the time with me and get got very competitive at times - it sounds like a match made in heaven but alas it was nice for the first couple of times and not anymore - plus it got very expensive two of everything cause she had to have her own.
the new love of my life cant stand the smell of sardines but she goes with - not to fish but sit on the beach and time or stay at flat and rest which is great - we still spend time together but its not in your face ..
my personal opinon is get your wife to go with - sit on the beach or chat with you and now and then try her hand at fishing - Drop shot is good suggestion - no smelly baits and have beautiful colors.
make her the camera man and let her pack an pick nick basket etc - the idea would be to spend time together not necesaary fishing together

What is it with women and those damn shopping malls??!! Now if only we could throw a line in at the mall.... A fishing lake at the malls perhaps??Developers take note!!! Then i'd have no problem going, for real.
I wonder if a ladies fishing comp with a first prize of all you can shop for at the mall will get your ladies interested in fishing???

WS Storm I'm from virginia and hey jace that doesnt sound like a bad idea.One problem my wife has a licence but i just can't seem to let her drive th other love in my life my Audi.Boet if she were to smah that then i dont think i could drive another car again.So just give me another couple of months then ill buy her her own cab and then she can go shoping with your wife no probs at all..
Anyhow i think the idea of taking them down to the beach and letting them jjust chill and enjoy the sea air for a start if i could get my wife to come out during the day i would be the happiest guy alive,she has all the excuses.No the sun will burn me.No the evenings are to cold or hmm...you going the whole night where am i going to sleep..
So i guess i just have to try and try until one day she say's yes..Oh! and by the way she also say's now i have more time for SEALINE then anything else,She has even devised a time table for me with a merit board as well.It works like this she calculates the amount of hours that i spend with her "QUALITY TIME"and the amount of time i spen on SEALINE and also the amount of time that i go fishing.Then she adds it all up and says right Next week you owe me so much time..Lol lol lol
Boet im telling you sometimes even i get shocked at how little time i spen with her,so now i have decided to even it out a bit..

I introduced my wife to bay fishing about 12 years ago while we were still courting. She took to it like a duck to water and thoroughly enjoys the sport. we now have 2 kids aged 2 and six and they both also love fishing, camping and the outdoors in general. Infact they beg and hound me to take them camping every chance we get. How lucky is that?
Mine likes to go occasionally, but I have to keep safety in mind first and foremost. Only problem is I have to bait AND cast, and take the fish off the hook, which cuts into my time. 
At least she knows my passion for fishing and I go when I want to... None of this permission stuff!
My mother on the other hand was a legend in her time, always seeming to catch the biggest, and more often than not the unusual like a kingie at Charters Creek on prawn.

Sounds like some of yáll are truly buggered! I know a good lawyer! Trouble with modern men is they just don't wear the pants anymore. I do what I want, when I want. NEVER let a woman interfere with your fishing!!! I have to go now and cook supper, wash the dishes and iron my clothes for work tomorrow but I'll be back soon with more expert advice.

Hey Lil' hobo
On the money regarding the corporate wives bit. Mines's worse - At first I could'nt even come into the house....which I renovated and built...until I stripped at the door. Is it just me, or are these corporate types becoming more difficult over time, and remind me again why we still smaak them so much?
Mine has learnt to "tolerate" ESA and has accepted that I WILL make a fisherman of the laaitie. Two against one, no contest, and he's already begging to go with daddy. Thats my boy !!!
Dont think I'll ever get the wife fishing. Took her once, moan, moan , moan. Not keen to get those manicured nails filthy with bait either. Camping? Better chance of Banghladesh coming back to win the world cup. Regrettably, I've come to accept life and make do. Working out ok, and at least she's ok once in while with making chow from the fish landed.

@zsoofie at least i know i'm not the only one with a coporate wife, she's accomodating to a cetain extent , u can go fishing provided u do this, this and this. She even tapes ESA for cos i get home after 9 on a thursday .
To go fishing i'll do almost anything and she knows that.
