Houston We Have A Problem?

Take her to your catfish hole and throw her rod out the other side of the boat with a worm and bobbber. After your 3rd or 4th fish she might want to change her rig a little bit. Who knows, after her 3rd or 4th fish you might want to change yours.

Let her read this thread?

My wife just takes a book. Sometimes she'll fish but her casting is not very good and she has

a hard time doing the hook set. I don't care for trolling at all but sometimes I do it with her

and that makes her happy because she doesn't have to cast or set the hook.

I know very few women who can actually fish. Don't think they are genetically programmed for it.

Well got her out there fairly early.She caught the first fish,a Channel Cat.Then I caught a Channel Cat,then she caught two Bluegill.Then nothing.

We decided to go on down the river where I hadn't been.Guy told me there was a Snag Field that was hard to get through.

Got headed down that way,I put the Boat on Plane,was scaring my wife with all the snags.Get up where the Guy was talking about.I slowed down,go a ways,hit a snag.Transducer flies up on the Deck.Well I quit worrying about a Fish Finder.

Turn around to go back to the Ramp.Get Boat up on Plane.All is Good.Come to another Boat fishing along the shore.Go to slow down,it wouldn't.Finally get it out of Gear but still running wide open.I shut it off.Take it by Trolling Motor back to the Ramp.

Got it Home Linkages looked Good,Took Control Lever apart,it looks ok.Walked around the Motor,whats this Linkage do?Move it,ah it does this,moved it couple times.Start Motor up,all runs fine.Ok learned something New Today.

my mom used to go with us, she sould read the paper, sometimes a book, etc. for a long time, then eventually she would fish a little, never failed to catch the biggest crappie in the boat. Take to Sapps and get her into some of the whites or hybrids and she will come around quick enough. If not that worm under a bobby will catch enough bluegill to make a tasty supper.
