My wife is pretty cool about my addiction. She knows that I'm going whenever I get a chance and that it makes me happy. I've tried to talk her into going, but she just isn't up for the 3:00AM Sat. mornings. She isn't really up for the "gross" stuff involved either. I don't think that she could bait up a sandshrimp if her life depended on it and you should see her freak out if I happen to bring home a fish (don't drip on the carpet!, that thing stinks!, take your boots off before you come in! ).

Another thing that helps is that I don't spend all my free time fishing. I usually spend at least one day of the weekend at home with her (no kids yet ).
