Whats your best way to talk the spouse into letting you go fishing after having fished alot already this summer?

[Shloim]

I have a very understanding wife and shes let me fish my face off the past summer. We/I even got a boat. I had a fishing/work weekend last weekend but the weather sucked. This once should be great weather but I am having alot of guilt about going. Tried to convince my son to go as my daughter has a sleep over and he threw me under the bus....Suggestions? I can force him and hed thank me after, but Im not sure the wife would back me on that

[Wagoneer]

I don't know, mine usually wants to go as much as I do as long as the weather is nice.

 

Your son doesn't like fishing? Every time my dad asked me to go golfing or fishing I was packed before he could finish the sentence.

Jewellry. 'Nuff said.

I'd just play the "times runnin out" card gotta make hay while the sun shines haha

[blaque]

One of the main reasons I dont have a spouse I cringe at the thought of having to ask permission to........well, to do anything!!! Sorry......not much help lol

[landry]

My wife is awesome. She usually has no issues. Having said that I put family first almost always. But there is and always will be a reason not to go.

 

I have noticed that if I fish 15 times a summer she will be absolutely convinced that it was 30.

 

The only time she gives me grief is when she has a few drinks - then the truth comes out. Lol.

[landry]

I have no tips for u. Best of luck on this one. Lol.

Get rid of your wife...problem over !!

Simple: Sweetheart, should I go fishing or would you rather I stay home and we could just spend the day in bed? She'll tell you to take a sweater, it might be a bit cool in the morning!

 

Married 30+ years now, works every time!!!!!

Been fishing since I can remember. My pop always took us. Mudder never mind. Got us out of her hair.

 

Someone mentioned golf. LOL Ya golf and fishing. There,s a combo. Worked for me.LOL

 

When we got married,my better half knew what she was in for.

 

No questions asked. I fish,I golf. My time,her time. Then there was our time. It all balanced . SOMETIMES.

 

Like Cliff. 30+ years now here too, and I probly fish just as much now, as I did before.

 

SHE,LL GET OVER IT

[Ralph Field]

I go as long as my wife isn't using my car.

Tell her, to take her own car.

[fish_fishburn]

Give her 20 bucks and tell her to go get a perty new dress.

I think being allowed to pursue your passion will also let you be a better husband and father, because you're satisfied and not deprived of it, hopefully your wife can see that

 

I've got buddies with restrictive wives, I think it's detrimental to their relationship

Everyone thinks Mr. Mike Borger is a great sportsman and writer, but his real talent actually lies with how he convinces his wife to let him go.

 

I suggest asking him.

Oh to choose.

 

Good will or thriftys. LOL

[chris.brock]

Adam, Mike is in the bush right now, go figure?

 

yeah, let's ask him!

[sleepjigging]

Let's see that $20 dress.

[Shloim]

The problem is she's awesome and has let me fish my ass off. Then I saw the weather forcast for the week....and well the son doesn't want to go. Hes more into playing video games and chilling.

[captpierre]

Fish Pigeon or Sturgeon and leave your wife at Bigley's Shoes in Bobcaygeon

[scuro2]

Find a nice fall destination which top notch accommodations and take her with you. If that doesn't work take one of your kids. Father-son, father-daughter fishing? Who is going to stop that?

[Regan Thompson]

LOL, I love it, have this problem all the time...

 

I have a 6 year old son so my bait is taking him with me (gives her a break to read a book or watch TV). I bring lots of toys on the boat so when he get's board I have other ways of keeping him entertained. Then when I get a fish I let him real it in and he LOVES it.. Get's him more into fishing too!

 

If you can't play the kid card, I would suggest finding out what she likes to do and sending her off on a weekend of her own to do this (maybe in the winter, out of fishing season LOL). I find the wife can be very understanding as long as you show that your thinking of her needs as well.

 

Good Luck, you'll need it!!
