TheBeast Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Wife called yesterday and offered to go hook up the boat and bring it out for an evening trip to a local lake. Of course I thought this was a spectacular idea. I close the store at 5:00 and we head out, the lake os only about 15 minutes so we are on the water fishing around 5:30. The lake is down about 10 feet and it is a little tricky gettin the boat launched but not to bad I have been when it's much lower. She is throwing a RageShad (because she likes watching it) and I start with series 5 crank. Nothing for about the first 45 minutes and then I give here chatterbait to tie on since Burley pulls them consistently from this lake with it. We move to the opposite bank and start heading back out the right arm and I am now throwing a jig. In no time she sets the hook and pulls in a solid 1 lbr. About 15 minutes later she jerks and fish on I am watchin her reel hers in and tap tap, I set the hook and yell double. I get mine in and she loses hers at the boat got a good look at it a decent 2. I keep switching between the jig/crank and chatter while she continues with the chatter (shes now got a new favorite). She pulls in another 1.5 and then another nice 2. We took out around 7:30, I missed a couple and she lost another one. So I got beat by my wife who has fished all of 3 times this year and beat bad, the one fish I got was pushing it to be 8". I got to thinkin later, I will continue to take my boat but from now on I am giving it over to whoever I'm with and I'm fishing out of the back. Burley beats me all the time out of the back and PitchinKid destroyed all of us this weekend from the back of it. Hey BigTom it's time for us to head out again if you want to catch some fish the back of my boat has the mojo now. I took the camera and left it in the truck :-[ so y'all will just have to take my word for that I got beat by my wife. Quote
Big-O Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Look at it like this Beast.....you are the guide and outfitter. You take folks fishing on your time and in your rig and they catch alot of fish and you don't interfere with their catch opportunities..... Friend that's guiding in my book, did it for 25 yrs and maybe you ought to start charging for such an excellent service.... ;D Glad you had a great time with your wife, "Those who fish together, Stay together" Big O www.ragetail.com Quote
MasterBasster09 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Don't sweat it man. My wife has been bass fishing 3 times in her life and she has beat me 2 of them(see post on this page) and theother time we both got skunked. I have never beat her fishing. She does fish the front of my little 2 man job though. Quote
TheBeast Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 Just enjoyed being on the water with'er, she's deifinitely a KEEPER! Quote
