Better Halfs Fishing Skills.

She also looks good tanning on the back deck of my Ranger.

That's the about extent of my better half.  I did get her to throw a hollow belly swimbait off the dock last year while we were just hanging out. I could tell she was enjoying it. Maybe when my little ones are old enough she will participate more.

Haven't taken my SO yet but she is the ultra competitive type. It wouldn't surprise if she has it figured out pretty well by fall and is putting the whooping on the fish.

I am in the same boat.  Bought a boat 5 years ago and I have yet to be able to get her out on it just me and her fishing.  We go out pleasure boating with the kids, but have not had a chance for her to get out fishing with me.  Can't wait till this summer.  I am hoping this will be the year when we can get out.  I am hoping she will enjoy it.  Especially since I don't fish with live bait anymore.

My wife is not up on the latest lures, techniques, etc, and just throws a line out with a senko attached, usually just nose hooked.I on the other hand uses various methods to hone my skills and broaden my bass fishing experience......Anyway , she often out fishes me!, and, I'm getting sick of hearing, "I think I got a bite, oh it's a fish!".

Beginning in 1965 (2nd year of our marriage), every vacation that Lois & I took was a fishing vacation (without exception).

During the first couple of decades, Lois would ask a million questions but really didn't add much to the fish stringer.

Well, the tables have turned, and during the past several years she routinely outfishes me. 

It was cute in the beginning, but now I'm just the captain who puts her on fish.

She will tell you that she owes it all to me, because she also knows how to protect a man's ego.

I think I liked it better when she was asking questions

My girlfriend loves to fish with me. I haven't taken her out with me lately I am gonna take her out with me this weekend to our favorite spot. Nothing better than when your significant other enjoys the hobbies that you do. I must admit she usually catches more fish than me but I usually always catch the biggest lol.

My wife always seems to outfish me when we go.  I think it's mainly because I'm always fishing for the big ones with bigger baits when she's throwing a little 1/4oz rooster tail because it's easy to cast out and just reel in.  She catches the numbers, while I spend time getting her fish off the hook and I don't get as much fishing in like I do when I'm alone.

Well , if you call sleeping on the boat a skill , she has me beat !

The weather has to be absolutely perfect for her before I can fish out in the open , too hot , we are looking for shade , too cold we are headed for camp , or home , too early , well , let's just say she is not a morning person and leave it at that , too dark , I won't let her fish , so she does not like to go LOL !!

All in all , she has been with me many times , I enjoy the time we get the opportunity to do so , just recently she has opened up to fishing different things other than a live worm , this past summer she used a drop shot for the first time and caught her first bass on it within the first 5 minutes , she also fished a Senko , and caught her first bass on it within the first 5 minutes , she skunked me both times and she never let's me live it down , I rarely if ever have a line in the water when I am teaching her how to fish something new other than to show her how to use the equipment , I will take the shame of being skunked by her any day , as long as she keeps smiling and having fun doing it .

my fiancee is an avid fly fisher. Put a fly rod in her hand and she will fish all day. When I take her bass fishing...she always brings a book on the boat for when she gets bored.

My wife has no real interest in fishing. I go early and she meets me at the dock, generally bringing lunch. Which is nice. Probably just to humor me, she'll make a few casts with a spinning rod generally rigged up with a wacky jig. She'll usually catch a quick bass and be done for a nap and some reading. Good company and she takes pics if I catch a good one.
