Good Luck, Wife!
I dont know how she does it, she usually goes with me when the weather is nice and we bring our labs. She plays with the dogs and I fish, she really wanted a nice steelhead to eat, but when we got down to the river the water was little lower than I like and my bobber and jig just wasnt working, i thought it was over and we were going to go and then she told me to tie on a bronze teardrop,1/2 oz,and start at the top of the hole and start all over casting in the same spots,but with her directions and then as I was drifting the spoon through the hole and it had the perfect wobble, my rod buried, fish on, she screamed, I was laughing, couldnt hardly keep the fish out of the wood, but we got it, I thought she was going to dive on it.
I made another few cast and caught another, released it, then made a few more casts and caught another, great big one 38 inch hatchery fish, they all were. We put the small one in the smoker and we are baking half of the other now. She has already called all her friends to give them the old,( I told him so.) It was very fun. Id say lady luck was on my side, lol.

Re: Good Luck, Wife!
I believe it was all skill... They say listening is a skill. Just tough to perfect.
