Boyfriend picks me up after work and lays it out. He was supposed to take me fishing the next day , but now has an invite for the OP for 4 days, what do I think. I think we'll talk about it. Actually, I knew he was going to go , wanted to go, and was pumped up for fish, I just wanted to work the moment for a bit. So, he says he'll only go for 2 days, ok. Then , the night before he says he HAS to go for 4 days as he's driving with someone else. Convenient, eh? So, I call yesterday and he doesn't sound sober,hmmmnnn. "Are you going fishing or not?" Well, they made it up there and he was indeed not sober this time on the phone. They were headed out this morning for the big ones. Hopefully he gives me a good report as I want fish! I sent him off with everything in my fridge and he better bring back some big ones. Update later.

I hope after that treatment you are going on a shopping spree with his credit card!

Angg,

Those things are to be expected when one's boyfriend's highest calling is bass. Bass and beer go together like green eggs and ham.

If you'd have picked a flyfisherman things would be lots better.

Well, he says he can't wait to fly fish soon, so things may improve. Yes, he goes on about these bass and I just can't get excited like at the salmon. I told him no catch and release this time around ( if legal) bring them home! Hope they are catching! Instead of fishing I turned into little woman cooking his ribs to take along and making the sandwiches and worrying about him not eating (he has no extra fat to lose). Darn, coulda been fishing and catching nothing here, so I hope the OP turns out well!

Angg,

Sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but if you don't want to go through the hell I put my wife through, then best let him go. Maybe he'll see the light some day, but sadly he needs help you just can't give him. Bottom line: You deserve better and he needs help from above.

Don't we all,
Abbie

I may have an open seat for sunday.

Next thing you know he'll want to play poker with the boys. Better have him sit so he's in view of the camera.

Driftwood, was that open seat for Angg, or for her boyfriend to further abandon the poor woman.

No, I won't let him go. He is a good, kind man and deserves his happiness. Lord, did I make him sound like an @@@@@le? No, he just likes to fish and so do I so we make a good pair. I hope he is having fun!

Hey, I play poker better than him!

Angg knows that mike is gonna fish regardless, the last time i fished with him was at the nisqually and we got skunked. Who did he go up there with?

Yeah, you won't be able to change him. Once a guy becomes a dedicated fisher, there is no coming back. You'll just have to get used to it or join him, unless he goes with his buddies then you should let him go by himself

edit: I see this is a fast topic and my post was a little to late as it has been explained. It just takes too long to type something when you have to fallow along witht the teacher at school too.

FDB, you shoulda gone with them. I know they are catching the"big" ones. Or better be, he is not to return home without big fish or I will have to question the trips idea.

Teach him what it's like to sit home and wait up. Take that spot in the poker game and let him wonder if you will come home broke.

The fishing with the guys will never cause as much trouble as the nagging from the bride. Don't call him, and tell him you are busy when he calls......he'll be back shortly and be thinking about you while he's gone.

He can't catch no biggin's. He is all talk.

Angg,

Hey.... Carl's single.... and he ain't no stinkin' bass fisherman. And...nice thing about Carl is he has his own boat!

Easy Limits, you are so way off base! He drove me crazy catching so many fish and not caring at all. He never cared if they got off or if they were huge. I pretty much mounted his big silver so that wouldn't get away too. As far as river fishing goes, he is much , much better than I. Wait till lake seasons are on. Plus, he does watch me for poker, anyone for paigow or texas hold'em?

Yeah, but Carl is buddies with the beast.

Not no mo Zen. I am officially off the market. Got me a good woman who likes to fish.

was it the "sister" from the other board??
