B~C You forgot #3 & #4 Shocked

3) The worst day fishing is better than the best day working.
4) WIVES CATCH MORE FISH!

Don't know why this is usually the case, but it is.
Example: I was fishing with the lovely Terrie last year for Fall Chinook. I was sure I had the perfect spin on my herring, was at the right depth, trolling at the right speed, everything felt so right. Terrie reels in to clear the vegitation off her line and I asked her if she wanted to change her bait after seeing that it was half unhooked, all munged up around the edges, had gouges in it from re-hooking it several times, you get the picture (Herring Burger). She says, nope I like the way this one is spinning. So I says to myself I says, self, just agree with her. Three minutes after she drops it back in, BAM!! 32lb. pound buck.

David, are you married?

Jon, Yes I am married. However the ellusive Kate will not be seen out fishing. It is hard enough getting her out in the boat at all. If it is a trip over to the marina and shopping. That's good. Heading off to one of the San Juans with some grandkids for a picnic outing. That's good. Or heading out for dinner (at a restaurant). That's good. But just going out cruising? Not so good. I think she has only spent one night on the boat in the 13 months I have had her (the boat). That was at Blakely last year. She does say she is going over to Lopez Is. for one of the nights this year. I will be batching it on Friday and then run over to Guemes Is. Sat to pick her up.

She will enjoy eating the fish however.

Wheeler...

I wanted to spare ole David from total alienation! You're right about women and fishing. The problem goes back to the old hunter & gatherer days. It is the man's scent in the natural oils on his hands. It is referred to as l'sarine (sp?). Salmon are very sensitive to the scent of men & bears or bear men, I forget how that goes.

Bill,

Now I have the scientific facts I need to convince the lovely Terrie that she is in charge of all bait handling Wink

Wheeler...

I confirmed that theory with my first wife. She out fished me until she started baiting my hook. When she had her fill of that, we got a divorce. I haven't taken a wife fishing with me since. That's too bad because she did a good job of baiting the hook and cleaning fish and washing the boat and cleaning the fishing gear - I just don't understand women Wink

PS - Please don't shoot holes in my boat, I was only kidding!!

Old lonesome Bill,

Maybe you need to compromise more Idea

. You should clean the fish.

Probably don't want to disclose your fishing habits next time your on the singles network Wink
