She fished a lot when we first got married but once our daughter was born , she gradually stopped going .
Daughter’s forty , I think it’s time for her to start back .
Mine went through a little "lull" I believe it was too much bass fishing, she love(s)(ed) that too, especially a good topwater bite, but she hated fishing a Jig, and I'm a flipper, but I think she is more into catchin, one hot day in September the stripe were going crazy, and the bass were SLOWWWW, so I asked her if she wanted to have some fun, pulled out a couple of silver buddy's and we went to town, she asked what the limit was and we'd been "boxing them up" so I counted them up and we liked two fish having a limit, we did this several afternoons, and I realized, I was taking the Bass fishing a little to seriously fishing 8 days a week and tournaments like 2-5 a week, then we started panfishing, catfishing, and chasin rabbits instead of deer all the time, we really enjoy those things now, they are simple, w/o all the "extra stuff that came into play if you're trying to stay in the bass fishing game, I still like to bass fish and deer hunt, but 90% of my fishing is panfish, and the deer hunting is all archery,

I hope you can get the Misses back into it, to tell you the truth, I get more joy watching her or the Grandkids when they catch a good one
