'I'm going fishing, see ya tonight." seems to work pretty well for me.

No chains, no problem

Give and take, fellas. Simple as that. Hard lesson learned

Ask her if she wants to go!
Let her know the boys are going (my son and I),and i get an okay!

littleoldlady · « **Reply #9 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 08:20 PM »

Try this!! "Sweetie, where would you like to fish today?" It's not only the guys that love
getting out on hard water; we ladies are catching on to the pleasure of fishing!! before we were married
we were more likely to go fishing than go to a movie. And now that we are both retired, we fish almost every day.

Lobes · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 08:28 PM »

I was tactful. Little by little figured out how to get her catching fish on the ice and staying warm. Now we are both in agony waiting for safe ice!

I remind her how much she enjoys the fillets I bring home.

She practically pushes me out the door.

My wife actually went and bought herself some sorrels the other day....I asked her what they were for and she said so that she could go ice fishing with me.

On the surface this sound ideallic. But we also have a daughter that I have hooked on fishing. I have a two man portable and a nice heater.

Guess who's the one sitting outside on the ice with a five gallon bucket and a cold cup of coffee?

Desperado · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 09:41 PM »

There's no question whether I'm going fishing. Noone has to LET me go and noone's gonna NOT LET me go.

The only unknown is whether she's gonna LET me in when I get back home.

Its like a 4 wheel drive truck boys how far do you want to wade into the crap !You will be in trouble no matter what say or do!

Pat · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 10:08 PM »

Do like a few of my buddies do..... Tell them that you are going to stay home all weekend with them and watch tv

after a week or two, they will tell you to go out for the day

PigShanks · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 10:36 PM »

I tell her "A little lovin

or a little fishing

!" She says "Dress warm, the ice is cold"

tbone · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 12:14 AM »

Make plans in advance, that way she's not left feeling abandoned and has time to make her own plans too

IceTroll · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 12:23 AM »

Its always easier to work towards forgiveness than to beg for permission.

My wife has no interest in cold weather and very little interest in the great outdoors. I am lucky though. I never ask permission and she rarely, if ever gripes when I go. I think she understood from the very beginning who she was marrying and figures its not worth making it into an issue. She also knows that if she got in the way of my outdoor pursuits, it would not be a positive factor in our relationship. I have a very stressful main job and work a second job on the side so she also knows that I earn my time in the field.

DO NOT USE THIS ONE:

"I've Loved fishing way longer than I've loved you".

Believe me, I learned the hard way.

Try this one: LOAD YOUR GEAR AND GO, ANYTIME ANYPLACE, ITS WORKED FOR ME GOING ON 36YRS NOW.

saranacjoe · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 10:13 AM »

I just ask if me and my son can go fishing if she doesn't say anything, then i send my son in to ask and works everytime. The power of the kids always works for me.

slabcrab · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 10:20 AM »

I dont need an excuse, its HER that bugs ME to go!!!!!!!! A keeper for sure!

vermonner · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 10:34 AM »

Meaning no offense, I married my wife, not my mom so I don't comprehend the "permission/excuse" thing.

4 a.m., give her the elbow and ask if she wants to go fishing. She almost never takes me up on the offer. She will go from time to time if we have what I consider a late start--10 a.m. or so

Yup, mine is pretty similar to this. Then the times that she says no to fishing aren't really all that bad either.

Mooter · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 10:43 AM »

I just take her with me

RLWagner · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 10:58 AM »

My wife is my best friend, because she takes me fishing with her! Salmon, Steelhead, Bluegill on the beds, midnight Bass fishing, oh....and don't forget ROCK BASS fishing.
She's a stickler about leaving early too. If my friends are running late, they are left behind!
She has to try and be the first one on the ice so we can get "priority placement" of tip-ups, and she wants the shanty if we use one, set up before light so that our "area" quiets down for the early Crappie bite!
She rocks, and is a sure keeper!

ice dawg · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 11:29 AM »

My wife loves to fish out of the boat, but she says that she wouldn't trust the ice if the lake was frozen all the way to the bottom. I have to respect that.

keny · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 12:29 PM »

I just tell her I`m going - shes happy to get rid of me lol

Turkeyhunter10ga · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 01:13 PM »

My wife will fish out of our boat in the summer, but she wont go out on the ice during the winter.
Since i work half a day on Sat and get Sundays off , i'll do what she needs to be done on Sat if possible and take Sunday for ice fishing IF she already hasnt got plans made. If and when we ever get ice again.
Since knowing she's not a mornin person and knowing that she already knows that i'm going fishing, i'll gently wake her at 4:30 or 5 am and ask - sex or fish? Answer is always ( so far ) go fish and dress warm.
