Captain Obvious Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 My ideal fishing partner is a tall bombshell blond who loves to fish as much as I do. But do to the lack of women in this sport makes this unlikely. BASSclary Speaking of that little pain in the you-know-what where is he haven't seen him for a while. Quote
Gangley Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 My mother in law is one of the best fishermen I know. She had two lake records for LMB, one of which I believe still might stand, but I could be wrong. Yes, i say fishermen and not fisherwoman, because fisherwoman denotes a difference from fishermen. From the fish's perspective, there is no difference in who is working the lure. Skill is not bound by gender. Fishing is generally my alone time. It's when I can be in peace and quite by myself without having to worry about somebody else's problems. Its really the only time I can relax and have fun while doing "my own thing". Having to constantly help somebody during that time is not enjoyable in the least to me, and that is why I generally prefer to fish with a few buddies that I have fished with for a long time, or nobody at all. IF I could ever get my wife to go, that would change though. If I am not fishing alone, it's with buddies, and there are strict rules among us that women aren't allowed on our trips. Not because they aren't capable, but because when we get together, it's Guy Time. No matter how much a female thinks the she is "one of the guys", she isn't, and guys will act different when one is around. To keep it normal, girls arent allowed, plain and simple. This is not to say that we don't fish with women or that we haven't fished with women. They bring their girlfriends out on occasion (my wife never fishes) and we have a good time fishing, but for the most part, the girls are elsewhere shopping or doing whatever it is that they enjoy doing while guys aren't around. If it's a trip though, no girls are present. Quote
GrundleLove Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 @Topic I don't bring my girl because I know that after 5 min she will be like "how long do you stay out here for?" I don't need that aggravation. Edit: yay! for unfair censorship! Quote
bear7625 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 It could be a cultural thing or maybe it boils down to the way your brought up. Here in Wisconsin, it's common to see men and women fishing together as well as women fishing alone. It also doesn't surprise me when I see women fishing in local tournaments. Myself personally, there are times I enjoy fishing with a woman and times when I would rather fish alone or with another guy. I just love to fish. I really don't see the need for a separate forum for women. I would enjoy hearing what women have to say on all subjects. I think the problem is either there is not a lot of female members, or they may be intimidated by posting. It also could be they just don't have the time. Quote
TxFishingPlease Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I wish my wife would fish with me more often. I hate it when guys say they don't want their wife to go along with them when they do the things they enjoy to do in their spare, a la, non-work time. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Women in my boat? Of course they are welcome. My Gal fishes with me a lot. I just hate when I get out fished. LOL I know why it happens though. I focus more on them catching fish then me. Quote
deeplaker Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 My wife fishes with me all the time. She is a great angler.

Dave P Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 My wife fishes with me a lot. So do my granddaughters. My tourney partner's wife fishes with him a lot too...No issues here. Quote
Kevinator1 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 My wife netted my largest bass I ever caught last year, 8lbs 2oz. which for Indiana is a good bass. She likes to go fishing with me but doesn't have the patience that I have. The only negative with a woman being in the boat is that sometimes they like to talk too much! I'm in trouble now! Quote
