I took the wife to a local pond, lake, that is only 4 or 5 years old. It was built when the State put the new highway in, then the owner donated it to the DNR. They stocked it and put in an access with parking and concrete ramp. The wife likes to fish from shore but hates going in the boat, says she can always take off on foot if she wants, but since she can't swim is stuck with me in the boat, she knows there is no controlling,,,,, if you get my drift,,,,,,,,    

 

Anyway, for a new young lake it is really doing good, the state put an 18" bass restriction on it, and so far it is taking off well. The wife probably caught no less than a dozen from 10" to 14". This was enough to satisfy her, she just likes to catch fish and doesn't care what size. She had a ball as all were on a 5' Avid ULF and a small 1000 size reel. I ventured down the way to a little deeper end and got a couple of what I would guess is the largest in it at this time, around 16". This lake is about 1/2 mile long by 1/4 mile wide. Just wish they would put a no gas engine limit on it, even in my condition, I could row it if I didn't want to use a trolling motor!! But anyway it was a great way to spend a few hours with her, as she will seldom go fishing anymore????????

Sounds like you two had a good time, and there is never a bad day fishing as long as you're catching.  I love just giving my wife a bunch of crickets and a bobber and watching her have a ball catching anything that will bite, especially when my 2 year old daughter is with us.  Only bad thing is that she will usually out-catch me (her w/the live bait), but no one is counting.
