General Fishing Ban
Submitted by buschy on Tue, 2009-12-29 07:40
After spending every spare moment in recent weeks going out fishing, the wife has put her foot down and there is a 'general fishing ban' on in our house as she is sick of me leaving her on her own. As she is a few months pregnant now - she is reluctant to come out with me and preferring the comfort of home to a tent on a windswept beach.
We are going overseas in less than two weeks - so unlikely I will now get an opportunity to fish until we get back and I will no doubt make up for it by buggering off up north somewhere for a couple of nights!
Anyone else have a husband / wife who have had enough of fishing? Really keen to hear you best (or worst) excuses to go fishing and what the consequences were when you got home! haha!

it's called self preservation mate!
when them preggy hormones are in full swing, you could end up like Tiger and have a gaff in the head.... so fish at your own peril mate...lol
otherwise, watch the weather carefully and send her to the day spa for special attention when the need for wet-line is at hand...lol..

Just tell her to let you go
Just tell her to let you go now, because she will want you around the house later when the kid arrives. When that happens, you really have to work hard for a leave pass.

Fight fire with fire mate- just hang around annoying crap out of her as much as you can. Next thing you know she will be making your lunch ready to go fishing!!!

haha some great responses in there!!!!
People keep asking me what were hoping hoping for (i.e boy or girl)....my standard response "a fisherperson!" :-)
Going back to Hill River at the end of Jan (just before the full moon). Broke the news to her this afternoon (i.e begged for permission)....lol
I guess I will have to settle for a spot of game fishing off Koh Samui in a couple of weeks to see me through to then

This is not a time to fight with fire. Start preping the baby room, so its tricked to the nines. Buy her something that makes her life easier. If you dont have a laundry drier then get her one quick smart.

When you wake up in the morning, give her a tap on the shoulder and say, sex or fishing, see what happens.
