Hey guys! Tell me how you view women fishing with you?

[deaknh03]

My wife and I love to fish together. Here she is lipping a LM in the front of the canoe.

[Fishing Rhino]

I'm trying to get my wife to come fishing with me.  At the moment she has this thing about not liking to hurt them by driving a hook into their flesh.

Several years ago I took her striper fishing and she caught an eighteen pounder, and enjoyed it.  Funny thing, she doesn't remember it.  I can remember exactly where she hooked it and the stage of the tide.

She's retired, we love to travel, and it would be ideal.  She likes hiking, snowshoeing and other outdoor activities.  Fishing would be a natural fit.  We do play golf together.

Personally, I would have no issues fishing with women.

I really wish my wife would go fishing with me more often than she does.As for the Woman's forum I don't know what's up there.No I don't have a problem fishing with women.

[NBR]

I have little input on this one. My wife won't fish and I truly wish she would.

My only possibilities are not many look at this forum and/or they are sensitive about asking a question they perceive as stupid. Which of course is the only thing stupid about not asking the question.

I am building jigs for a lady pro. It's fun. My wife joined the club this year to fish with me. I am ecstatic. I hope I don't flub it up.

I think a women's forum should be just that if that's what you want. What you have is a forum titled women's but men go there. The same men who say they respect women. It's sort of like saying I'll respect you as long as I can still come barging in whenever I want.I think this minimizes women participation. I know the women as a group are probably smaller. I would be interested to see just how it did if it was locked to men from viewing. I'll admit I have been there to read but I would never think of posting there. I don't think I have ever posted there.

In sum I think a realistic perception is that it is what it is and all you really can do is get in there and keep putting your best foot forward and maybe sooner or later others will follow.

I wish you well.

[triglet]

my girlfriend goes all the time!  only trouble is she will try and catch more than anyone in the boat.  ;D

[K.Fox]

I have no problem fishing with women. Thats one of the great parts about fishing, a woman can beat a man that has greater physical strength....

   As for posting, keep posting over here Im sure you have great thoughts and ideas..

Took my wife and daughter (8yrs) last year. Had a blast. My wife caught her 1st bass, about 12 inch. You would have thought it was moby dick. She says she wants to go again, BUT she does not like bass boats. She says she does not understand why we do not get rid of my bass boat and buy a bigger boat with more seating and has higher sides (Like a Bayliner). She thinks it would be safer and be the same, just more comfy. I try to explain that a bass boat has a shallow draft needed for getting shallow and a trolling motor is nice to have as well. She just does not get it.

I take my 8yr old daughter pond fishing all the time. I hope she enjoys it enough to continue. She would be one of my favorite fishing buddys. Very good talks.

Women are always welcome as long as they want to fish.

If any HOT women want to go boating I have a boat my wife will not ride in.

[Mudwalker]

I fish with my wife all the time.  We are members in 2 bass clubs (1 is all electric).  I have no problem fishing with women.  I help out a local youth fishing club and the girls in there are great anglers.

[Luke at Gouldsboro]

I wouldn't have a problem with a woman fishing with me. I take my neice with me all the time, but she's only 10 years old...

[dulouz]

I love it when my wife and kids come fishing with me. 

[hookingem]

I hope I can one day find a women who at least will go with me. If she would actually drop a line that would be an added bonus! 

[NorcalBassin]

Definitely enjoy it when my wife comes out. Heck, she gets bored and tans in the bikini after a while... I win either way.

[grimlin]

I take whoever wants to come with me....Makes no difference to me.

I read your other post in the women section and I can not figure out why in the world they wouldn't let you fish in the club.Makes no sense to me.  >

[Bassn Blvd]

I have no problem fishing with woman.  It's the wife who has the problem with them fishing with me.

[Fish Chris]

To tell you the truth, I really don't want anyone else fishing with me. Whether it's a girl or a guy, wouldn't make much difference.

Actually, having anybody with me, distracts me to the point that I might as well have left my poles at home. Having a good looking female with me would just be 10 X's worse !

Peace,

Fish

[CWB]

It would depend on what they're wearing. If it's nice out and they are wearing a bikini, I would probably view them more often and more indiscreetly than if they were wearing a full rainsuit. Of course, this is unless it's my wife in the boat. ;D

[SirSnookalot]

If my wife would be interested in leaving the house at 4 am, walking the beach in total darkness, dealing with no-seeums and taking a whizz in the bushes, she is more than welcome to join me.  That won't happen and to be honest I'm not in the least bit upset about it.  The last time I took her bass fishing was about 3 or 4 years ago, she caught some fish on a plastic worm and my job was hook removal.  I'll take her any time she wants to go but she really has little interest 

[SPEEDBEAD.]

My wife is not really into fishing, but she LOVES catching.  LOL

That being said, she will come with me to local ponds where the bass are easily located or she will come out with her ultralight when the bluegills are up on beds.

She's not real big into the process of locating fish and really fishing hard for them.

[Sfritr]

The question is:  Tell me how you view women fishing with you? 

Answer:  with little to no clothing on but that is how I view most women in my head...... : :

My wife is a great fisherman!  She is lights out with a Senko.  I love to see women in the boats on the lake.  We need more female anglers.  I thought it was fantastic to have the two ladies in the mens' Elite tourneys...

[endless]

I have no problem with it at all. My wife wanted to start so I bought her the Extreme combo, a tackle box, let her pick out a couple of lures, hooks, etc. and now I went out and got a bigger boat for the two of us. I'm actually excited to take her with me and hope she does enjoy her self. We don't spend allot of time together doing something we both can enjoy and with this it should be very nice.

I woke up this am, got on BR and was totally blown away by the honesty from you guys (no women wrote). I learned a hell of a lot. Ever since my brother said I'd never understand what men saw things I've tried to listen. "Sam", honesty, most cool. Sometimes I don't want men around either, period.  But ScBassin you hit it best: this forum is about FISHING! Why have a women's forum at all? Fishing, bassin is the focus. Most of the other replies on here echoed this. Most others said unmistakably how pleased you guys would be if the women in their lives could share their passin' for castin'!  FishChris, I understand bout not wanting to fish with anyone, male OR female. It's a time when all stress, the world drops away and things finally make sense for me too. I especially appreciate so totally honest comments like CWB made....no problem fishing with women in bikinis!! So cool. Hey, this is the nature of things in an ancient way between men and women. And women are not weak.....they "we" excercise control in our own way. Hey! Joyful thing in our difference. But this forum is about BASS FISHING. Period. I'll write no more posts like this, and thank you all for responding. Now, anybody got an opinion about KVD and Biosonix??

[Bass Dude]

I wouldn't mind at all...but my wife really has no interest.

As far as why women don't post on that section...I recall seeing a post a while back where a woman wrote that she doesn't post on there because all she got were responses from men and she was looking for the women's perspective.  I agree with the others in that there isn't as much participation by women in the sport.  This site a small percentage of fisher-people as a whole, therefore even less participation in the forum by women.

[laus]

Bass Dude. Simple and true I think. The women just aren't there. Who knows why? Gotta be ok, and work on from there

[Daniel My Brother]

I'm told there's a youth forum on Bass Resource that I cannot access. That's fine by me, I get more than my daily recommended allowance of BASSclary in the regular forums.

How about making the women's forum exclusive to women? If you're a dude, you're simply denied access. More women might use it if no one was looking over thier shoulder.

I'm surprised by the men who post in the women's forum, even when the OP specifically asks for responses from women.
