I am blessed with a household of women, well, a wife and daughter anyway. Wife's first love is horses, but she fishes with me - we took the boat on our honeymoon as we couldn't take horses into Canada without quarantining them first. I guess what happened is I made the mistake of taking the wife, and then the daughter, fishing when it was good, and they got used to it being that way - and I mean like any more that 5 minutes between bites and let's go home. Neither can understand why I bother fishing all day when I'm not catching much. So yes, they fish with me when it's good, and don't when it's not (or when it's nasty weather or rough water, etc.). This works fine - they both badly outfish me anyway and when the fishing is good then our combined take home pay is enourmous. And I do all the gear, all the bait, process all the fish, and take care of the boat. They, however, cook, feed me, and clean up afterwards. Works for me, like I said, I'm blessed!
