[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 108492, member: 1417"] The continuing story of teaching my partner T to fish...So it's a perfect Saturday, maybe one of the last this fall. Temp's in the mid-seventies, calm and sunny. A perfect day to fish. We got hung up in traffic leaving town but managed to get on the water by 1:00 or so. There were only two other boats on the lake. We tried some top-water fishing for a while but resorted to our stand-by mode, trolling along the weed beds. Given the calm day and few boats on the lake I thought it was also a good time for T to practice running the motor. To make a long story short, T hooked 10 fish and landed eight of them including this respectable bass... [img]https://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab322/krame023/P1010004.jpg[/img] Within about two hours of taking over driving the boat she was completely in control of the situation. When she would get a strike she would set the hook and to keep both hands on the rod and reel, moved the shift lever into neutral with her foot. Gentlemen, it was a beautiful thing to behold. I, on the other hand went the entire day without so much as a strike. I managed to redeem myself literally in the last 10 feet of the last run of the day with a 30" northern. I was reeling in my line and the fish struck on the way in. In the future I will be dropping the idea of "teaching" and simply refer to my "assisting" T with her fishing successes. [/QUOTE]
