Where's Your Old Lady??? 2024
buckeye_bass66 reply :
I'd like to dedicate this topic to every fisherman that hits the water with their old lady. Every so often on the lake if see a couple going around flippin pads having a great old time. I decided to teach my girl how to flip for bass and she's a quick learner, considering I took me the whole summer to TRY to teach my friend and he still can't get it. In a tourney I'd deffinently choose her over him lol she caught more fish in 2 trips than my buddy has ever caught the whole summer Hahahaha and I mean it a win win you get to fish and have your girl right by your side

FWIW.... I can't stand people who call there wives, girlfriends, etc.... Their "old lady ". It's garbage.
wakeeater reply :
c'mon, man! i don't use the term "old lady" either, but there's no reason to post what you did. i'm sure he meant no offense.
i don't fish with my wife, she has other things she'd rather do.
Wbeadlescomb reply :
I fish to get away from mine.
AK-Jax86 reply :
My girlfriend loves to fish with me. Havent been out with her in a while since my buddy got his boat, and he is jealous lol. But when we go out I always have my fishing stuff with me and I will ask her if we can stop and fish. BIG mistake because I always throw out the first cast then she takes over and makes me play with our son lol. I can't argue since I always go out on the weekends fishing before or after spending some time with them, so she holds that over my head when I try to take the rod back lol.
I cant wait until my son is old enough and I drop that money on a nice bass boat so we can all go fishing as a family, Sarah is onboard with that so I have just been saving money and counting down the days!!!

You took a good teaching opportunity and blew it. Don't think only in black and white terms. Yeh, i agree you should not call your girl "old lady" but his whole post was about the joys he has with the girl he appreciates and enjoys. Instead of being so judgmental, there are worse things that guys do than call their girls old lady and talk about how much they enjoy spending time with them.
macmichael reply :
My wife, ( alias, The Warden), 
fishes with me all the time. Most times she fishes but sometimes she just reads. That's fine with me because I really enjoy her company.

It's not that I don't love her but it's nice to get away
FishinDaddy reply :
90% of the time my Wife or Daughter or both are on the boat with me.
flyfisher reply :
My fiancé doesn't fish but she has stated that if we ever get a boat it has to have a big enough back deck that she can lay out and read on it while me and my 3 1/2 year old fish. I offered to get her a kayak so she could come out with me and she wasn't feeling that at all so i may be in the market for a boat in the next year or two.
And for the record, i am not a fan of the "old lady" term either.......to disrespectful for my tastes.
Dwight Hottle reply :
For the record the term "my old lady" was very common in the 60's & 70's and was very much a blue color term. It was questioned by some but not considered disrespectful for the times. It was often used to denote long term marriages.

I have 15 years on my wife so she'll never be The Old Lady . . . .
But she catches fish . . . .

I wish my wife was into fishing but she hates it. I love her dearly but get so annoyed when she tells me "all you need is a worm and a hook"
aceman387 reply :
On the rare occasion my wife does go fishing with me she prefers to bobber fish with live bait. Her sport of choice is hunting. She owns two crossbows and a compound bow and this past hunting season she shot and killed three deer.So even though i have been tempted to call her "old lady" at times i am afraid to do so. 
jhoffman reply :
Mine has went with me turkey hunting and had fun. Of course, it was the only morning all season when the birds showed up at the crack of dawn, then no joke the gun jammed. She will fish but doesnt have the patience for crankbaits or anything like that.

Bluebasser86 reply :
Mine goes with me anytime she has the chance, which isn't as often as I'd like. She learns a little more every year and has come a long way since we started dating in 2008. Our first fishing trip together was to Table Rock in the spring of '09 and she was using a Zebco 33 Classic combo with line so old it broke every time I tried to tie a knot. Now she has a St. Croix Avid Pearl with a Quantum PT Energy. She broke both her smallmouth and largemouth PB's last year, about 2 weeks apart.
As for the "Old Lady" thing, mine is 3 years older than me, so I have been known to point that out from time to time, but only very jokingly when she's in a good mood.
Dwight Hottle reply :
Mine doesn't fish too much, just occasionally. She did have a bigger pb smallie than my regular fishing buddy for a while. I made good use of that showing this picture to everyone I knew to rub it in a little
Felix77 reply :
Mine doesn't fish ... she has other interests. But she supports my "need" to go fishing. Even with 4 kids I get out a lot more than most single guys! I am trying to convert some of my kids towards the dark side. Little by little the two younger ones are showing an interest. Let's see if it sticks. LOL
dag623 reply :
Extremely fortunate to have my wife as my fishing partner. Even on slow days I need only one glance back to remind me I can't catch anything better ;-)
Teal reply :

Mine never cared for it. But when I got my first boat, (an aluminum) she had the bright idea of getting a tan and going along for the ride. It wasn't long before she saw how much I was having catching fish that she picked up a spinning rod with a shaky head trick worm and started catching fish too.
12 years later, she backs my bass boat into the water ..which she bought for me while I was at work one day). She uses her own St. Croix Avid pearl rods and likes to run the front of the boat for me. She's not a nut about about it like me, but once on the water she shows a good intrest in how best to find and catch bass.
I'm a blessed man.
Edit- I need to go out tp the shop and show yall a pic, my wife BEJEWELED a Revo S reel! I wanted to get her a reel for her flipping rod and she had to have a white one... So Revo S it was, we get home and it wasn't two hours later before she had pink and purple stones on it.... I created a monster.
gripnrip reply :
My wife isn't interested in hunting or fishing. She did say however if we ever got a boat she would go and lay out on the back. That's cool with me. She also encourages me going. She knows it relaxes me and respects my love for fishing.
On another note. I don't care what other people call their spouses. She calls me a name I can't say on here and I call her an Ol' Hag. We laugh about it. I think it us up to the involved parties. I really don't care what other people think.
BassnChris reply :
If I remember correctly..................I only fished twice last year without my wife.
Once was with a buddy of mine on my home lake.....................and the other time was one day on Pickwick at last years Bass Resource Road Trip.
buzzed bait reply :
My wife doesn't come along, but the one time she did we had a blast. she caught 1 more fish than i did that day and trust me, i've never heard the end of it..... as i come home recently from some skunked winter trips, she's challenged me with the whole "do i need to come back out and show you how to do it"...... honestly though this is like our time apart, she like to catch up with friends, shop, work, have her own time and i get to fish. Now that's a win-win....

I'm the opposite. My wife has 16 years on me. There's no one I'd rather fish with though. She goes with me 95% of the time and usually does pretty well considering that me trying to teach her is kinda like the blind leading the blind. She likes fishing Yum Dingers and lipless cranks. Here's her best fish from last season.
FlipnLimits reply :
My wife rarely goes with. I fish often, very often, and she has a standing invitation but she doesn't go usually. On the rare occasion she does go, we joy ride and have a nice lunch somewhere on the water. She has caught a 36" Pike when she thought she was stuck on weeds. I had to inform her that weeds don't pull back She has no problem with me fishing, at all. We spend every minute of our lives together otherwise and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's her support that allows me to concentrate on fishing and not about an angry spouse. Thanks, hon!

Jacob044 reply :
My wife also goes with me quite often. She uses what she calls the " NO TECHNIQUE, TECHNIQUE". She cast's a worm or craw and then just plays at it. She twitches it once in a while and often doesn't know she has a fish on until I tell her. What is somewhat frustrating though is that, sometimes she out fishes me. It's all good though. She has fun and we have a great day together.
rmcguirk reply :
I have the best of both worlds. While my wife doesn't really enjoy fishing, she does enjoy being outdoors. Most weekends, she'll let me get up and go early and fish for 4-5 hours and then meet me at the lake--usually with lunch. She'll then come along for the ride while I fish for a few more hours while she reads, suns herself and naps.
When she does fish, though, she's a killer. She prefers live bait, but I'll usually set her up with a spinning rod with a wacky rig. She is amazing. Throws it out, reads her book/listens to music and just flat out catches fish. Not quite a dead stick technique, but close. Reminds me of how you need to slow down your presentation some times.
basshole8190 reply :
My wife fishes with me sometimes. she prefers crappie and catfish to bass and stripers. but my 2 1/2 yr old loves fishing as much as i do. She enjoys tanning while we fish up front.
For the record my wife is 3 yrs older than me and often refers to herself as my old lady.
atpns1234 reply :
My wife calls herself my good luck charm. I do catch fish when she's in the boat. We have a place on a private lake in Alabama and every once in a while she will go with me.

nice fish....
mine is six years older and oh yea my high school math teacher ,. Was love at first site. She likes to fish but prefer to read and tan. Which I don't mind she works out BC she is now a cop and exercises. 6'0 rocking body so I don't mind when she adds a tan. We are two of a kind. I call her women, old lady etc and she's fine with it because I also call her the love of my life.
ZhouNi reply :
i wish i can take my wife fish every time i go we just brought a new boat last fall. but we are in the resturant business, one of us have to be there all the time. so i have to go with my friend and she stay and watch the store. So we only been on the water ONE time together. so i am hoping this year that i can take her fishing more. And its been a whole year since we have been out together just to get away from the resturant.
cadman reply :
My wife fishes with me all the time even in tourneys. Unfortunately she got her PB ( a 6.2 largemouth) fishing with another guy at a tourney in which we fished. It's hard to keep her from fishing with me. She'll get up at 2:00 A. M. with no complaints and is ready to go. If I fish with someone else, she gives me this sad face when she sees me off in the morning. I like to fish with other guys so I can learn from them. I wouldn't trade her for any other fishing partner. No drama, no BS she just fishes and tries her best. That's all I can ask for.

Well since I fish with you wife 50% of the time you don't I thought I would post this.
She also said something about me being a better guide and that I don't irritate her nearly as much as you...

These things you say are true! Yet she still insists on going with me......geesh.On 3/13/2014 at 7:22 AM, FishinDaddy said:Well since I fish with you wife 50% of the time you don't I thought I would post this.

Thanks for trying though 
Washout reply :
My wife is the one that found the boat we bought. She's also the one that finds excellent deals on my favorite baits. Sometimes she even gets the colors right. She was right beside me today fishing in 34 degree temps with 30 mph winds.
Stlbob reply :
My wife ( i dont have an old lady' if i used that term,wow ) likes to go and hang out.she doesnt fish but she loves just being out and about.my biggest fan and always gives me hell when i get skunked..lol..She manages the money so i can pursue all my guy hobbys..Fishing,shooting,etc,etc...she has been there when i have caught some of my more interesting fish..like a striped bass of about 5lbs in a city lake,and something i never saw on the river once that boiled the water when it got close to the top,the boil was about as big as a bath tub,broke my rod and line in one quick move.She tells that story because no one would believe me....lol
mnbassman23 reply :
When my Wife isn't tanning on the back deck she has been known to reel in a few bass. Never complains about me fishing or hunting. In our terms she's a "keeper" and she let's me hold her fish
aharris reply :
First of all...if I called my wife an "old lady", I'd probably catch a right hook to the eye.
