airborne_angler Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 If you don't want your wife to find it, don't bring it home. Duh! Keep it at your girlfriends house. Thats Awesome!!! Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 6, 2011 Super User Posted March 6, 2011 I don't keep my tackle hidden from my wife and she does not keep her quilting stuff hidden from me. Life is easier that way. Quote
MonarkMcfaster Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I don't hide anything from my wife, in fact, she handles ALL the finances in this household so if I want some new gear or baits or whatever, I just ask her if I can have $50 bucks or whatever. If the money is available then I buy whatever I want, if it is not available then she lets me know when it is. She also doesn't mind when I go fishing everynight after work (summetrime) plus everyday during the weekend. ;D Cliff This is the same as I am. I usually only go 1 day on the weekend though so that we do have sometime to spend together The way I feel about having the monkey control me is, I don't drink, do drugs, gamble or party so If all it takes to make me get "high" is to spend a few dollars a week on new baits that I never fish with then I am doing pretty good!

Super User Catt Posted March 6, 2011 Super User Posted March 6, 2011 I'm sorry but I don't understand the need to lie to your spouse Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted March 6, 2011 Super User Posted March 6, 2011 I'm sorry but I don't understand the need to lie to your spouse DITTO. And, anyone who thinks he can hide something from a woman is clearly delusional. Quote
Super User bassfisherjk Posted March 6, 2011 Super User Posted March 6, 2011 I don't have to.Although she does think I have too much. Quote
shootermcbob Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Several years ago as my wife and I were exiting the archery shop we did business with, she looked over at these pidgeons in the parking lot across the street(100 feet away or more) and says..."hey, look at that one legged pidgeon". I took out the binoculars and sure enough one of those birds was hopping on one leg!!! No, I am smart enough not to try to hide anything from my wife. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted March 6, 2011 Super User Posted March 6, 2011 I don't hide anything. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted March 6, 2011 Super User Posted March 6, 2011 I can honestly say that I don't hide anything from my wife. I can also say that I just don't bother to confess to her what I do buy. If it is big enough for her to notice, it would be foolish to try. Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted March 6, 2011 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted March 6, 2011 Pffft! No need to hide anything. We fish together ALL the time, and often share tackle. She spends more on tackle than me! ;D X2 Nicole has nothing but Fenwick and St croix rods, KVD and Clunn Signature reels and her own compartment in the boat where she keeps HER stuff. If I hide anything, it's to keep her from stealing it. ;D ;D Quote
princecraft papa Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 my wife takes care of the money, when we have some "extra cash", we buy some toys! Hell, if I was in charge of paying the bills, the bank would own my house & a whole lot of fishing gear!! Quote
Getfished Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 My wife has better equipment than I do. I never hide it but she always needs something new. It's a great arrangement. She fishes avids while I have to fish falcons so who's counting? Quote
Super User CWB Posted March 7, 2011 Super User Posted March 7, 2011 As the immortal Al Bundy would have said: Hide it in a place she'll never go. The kitchen. ;D Quote
BassmanDan Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I don't "deliberately" hide my stuff...but she did recently find out I have the Visa number memorized...what was I thinking? Quote

I will ask her and she always says sure if we have the funds. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted March 7, 2011 Super User Posted March 7, 2011 She will kill me when she finds out that I am going to buy the Humminbird 898 SI. Or she will want to put me in the nut house! But I guide so that will help! Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted March 7, 2011 Super User Posted March 7, 2011 If you have to hide things from your spouse, your problems go far deeper then what fishing gear you have. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted March 7, 2011 Super User Posted March 7, 2011 If I had to conceal the money spent on my favorite pastime it wouldn't be much of a marriage. Quote
Gangley Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 She buys a 4 dollar frappe' before work, I buy a 4 dollar pack of worms after work. I know she enjoys her coffee so I like her to have them, and she knows I enjoy fishing so she is happy for me to get my lures. As long as the bills are paid and the auto transfer goes into savings, she doesnt worry about my lures and I don't worry about her coffee's. Quote
Captain Obvious Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Not being married I can't talk about hiding from a wife. But my mom can read my mind and it doesn't matter if I hide them at my girl friends house (her dad would use it then >) My mom would still find out that I bought some new stuff. The price I pay for eating well and not having to pay for a crap dorm at school. Quote
Ineedanewscreenname20170204 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I'm the boss in my house so I don't have to hide anything from my wife. Ooops here she comes gotta go. Quote
brophog Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 It could be worse........she could fish, too. I spend at least twice as much at the tackle store with her than without her. Women have no natural defense against the bait monkey. :-? Quote
