So i try not to post about my personal life to much but thisis personal/

That's a tough decision '151...In my opinion, you have to feel it out. Ask her if she'd like to go fishing with you. If she doesn't, then don't push the issue. If she does then by all means take her. Fishing has a way of relaxing the mind and soul. It might be good for her to get out and fish. It will probably bring back memories of when her dad and her fished together, but hopefully they will be good memories. So just take your time with her and fishing, she'll let u know when the time is right.

Well, you know '151, old sea salts have always had a tough time with the ladies...look at Popeye and Olive Oil. But sooner or later she's gonna find out that you're crazy about fishing. I would do what Vito said...just ask.
                                                                                                                       

yep what they said

i'll just tell ya a bit of a story that might fit........my 1st. date with my wife was fishing. how it got set-up was this way.
i brought in some fried fish for supper one nite to work. this girl that work at the same store said she wish she had some fish to eat. i gave her some and then a couple days later i brought in some fresh fillets that i got earlier that day. about a week later i ask her if she wanted to go out fishing with me. she didn't say anything at that time. but 3 days later she ask me how serious i was about taking her fishing.
we set up a day a few days later. i pick her up at the parking lot of the place we worked at. went to subway and bought us a couple of subs for dinner and then we went to the lake and went fishing. we sat around on a dock talking about things, caught a few fish, ate our subs and then i cleaned the fish and gave them to her to take home. i was hook from the start. the funnest thing that happened on this date was a line that my dad said as we where leaving the lake--i park in my folks back yard to walk across the road to get to the lake-- came after i told him about her baiting her own hook and taking her own fish off the hook...........any girl that can do that is a keeper son.........

Wow thats a nice story.

I did take her fishing, The only thing she mentioned about her dad was how much he would have love to seen her fishing with me

We caught a couple of things that day, Not to many pictures because i forgot my camera.

She caught two things and i caught one! She out fished me! But thats ok, i Had set my second rod and and left it there and when it had i bite i told her her rod had something on it.


And about that part where bating her own hook and taking off the fish, She wouldent bait the hook with live shrimp but man was she egar to take that fish off.

You know a woman is a keeper when she goes fishing with you. Dont throw her back

151: Its good to hear you two had a great time fishing. Sounds like good memories came back to her about her dad. I hope the fishing trips with her catch on and she goes more often.

Mr. Bill: Your fishing tale went better than mine! I planned a fishing trip for the fiance and dog. She was excited to go and I purchased the necessary equipment to make the trip enjoyable for her. I didn't want it to be a "roughing it" trip as to ease her into the swing of things. Im a former Marine and I would have been fine with my rods, sleeping bag, and a couple of MREs but that wasnt suitable for her. The day came to leave for the trip and all started well. We got to the camp site and set up camp, I was eager to start fishing so we left right after. We got to one of the reseviors I wanted to scout out and spent about an hour with the dog in the water(her first time actually swimming). Had a few bites here and there but nothing to major. I knew the dog in the water had something to do with it so we went back to camp for the night. And this is when the trip went down hill. Complaints about the living conditions, bugs, "bathroom" conditions, etc. started to pour out. To top it off the dog started to get a bad rash. During the night a bear decided to come check out what was going on early on so the rest of the night was restless sleep with "what was that?" "did you hear that" "the bear is trying to get in the tent"(it wasnt...) throughout the night. The next morning was an early one (as I did not sleep anyway) and after a delicious breakfast we went back to the resevior. The dog wasnt doing to well at this point. I chose a spot at first and decided against it as the sourrondings didnt seem fishing worthy. I moved down a ways and through my rods in and hoped for the best. About two hours later, after I had to go get the water from the truck because someone was thirsty, dog rash turned into a bacterial infection, and watching the three wranglers pull fish after fish from the spot I originally chose, I decided to head back to camp for some "hiking". The fiance began to freak out about the dogs infection and insisted on going back to make a vet trip. Needless to say the trip wasnt as enjoyable as planned and havent tried it since!

gonzales, sorry it just didn't happen for ya there. but because we love them and want to take care of them we do what we do for them and do our thing when we can......lol
