[cool][#0000ff]Glad to hear that she at least has an open mind to going fishing. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The best advice I can offer is to make the trip ABOUT HER...not about your fishing pleasure. Be sure to go where she can catch a fish...of any species. Also, be sure the weather is nice, there are no bugs and that you are close to the "facilities" in case of need. Dress to stay comfortable and if she gets bored or uncomfortable, don't insist on "one more cast"...that turns into another hour or two of frustration for her.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Actually, that is the advice I usually hand out for guys taking kids out for the first time, but it is doubly applicable to wives. There is a lot more at stake.[/#0000ff]
