Hey everyone,

I just figured I would throw this out here I don't know how much everyone else's ole lady, wife, or girlfriend/or opposite enjoys us fishing. Well my fiance used to hate it when I went fishing and for the past two years I have been fishing like crazy! She hated it when I would plan trips when I was off and so was she. We used to fight all the time about fishing, she hated me fishing. Even up until the other day when I went fishing we were fighting about it. She asked me about 2 months ago what would I say if she were to ask me "If you had a tournament/fishing outing that you wanted to go and I didn't want you to go, and I told you that you have to pick between me or fishing what would you say?" I told her "Well you better have my tournament shirt washed by tomorrow" HAHA Well I think that let her know that she had to be more understanding about my hobby. Maybe it wasn't the right thing to say but she's still with me, I believe she understands now.

The reason I am writing all this is because yesterday was my birthday and I turned 24, she is so terrible about keeping secrets and since she has ALL of my passwords online she was looking through my Yahoo account and found an email I had sent to Teddy Carr, For most of the NoVa guys have heard of him as he is a top of the line guide. Well she emailed him on her email and told him that I had been trying to get a guided trip with him but I just didn't have the money. SO she has a co-worker that is also a fishing partner of mine and he went half in with her to buy me the trip for my birthday. So on Sept. 20, 2008 I have my guided trip out on the Potomac River. I am so excited about the trip I can't wait!!!!

I'm not sure if this was the correct place to put this so please move it if it needs to be moved.

Joe, happy birthday your fiance sounds great to me. Enjoy your trip on the Potomac and note where he takes you and the techniques that he teaches you. This knowledge will help you a lot when you fish tournaments on the Potomac.

Hey, that's pretty cool.  I hope mumma get a night of wine, song and dance for that?  Congrats on your B-day and lots of luck on your guided trip.

That is cool man . I just wish my Ol' Lady , wouldn't want to go fishing with me at times , but what can I say she at least likes it . The only problem I really have is that she doesn't like to use artifical bait . I hate having to bait her hooks for her , but I guess it's a win / win situation , she doesn't b*&th about me fishing . And I always have someone to fish with (even if she doesn't know what she is doing )

Right on Mrs Nitro!!!!!

Congrats on your B-day. post some pics... an let me know what other secret tactics where used maybe they mighy work on my wife an boss. lol

memo

I hope you got some pampering lined up for her....Mine has been real good about me leaving for fishing.It's the spending part she doesn't always agree with.

Don't forget how generous your fishing partner is either.

pssst have your fiance call my wife and give her a couple of clues on what to get us for special occasions...
