iwishinifishin Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 You've had a lot of good suggestions. When I'm on the water, I find it very relaxing and my mind wanders as I'm waiting for a big bite - I'm not at all chatty while fishing. But, if I was with a talkative guy and he said the same thing, I would likely explain that while I'm fishing, I like to relax and I'm always thinking about the fishing spot. Are we in the right spot? Should we go back to where we had a bite a few minutes ago? Should we go somewhere else? Then I would tell him that I would be happy to talk about anything HE wanted to talk about! I would ask him not to take it personally if I'm not very talkative - I just want US to EACH enjoy catching fish. I have a friend who hates fishing but likes to go along with her husband, so she takes a book so he can fish and she can just be with him & not talk so much.

fish-n-fool Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm a female and I don't worry about having to chatter in the boat or the portable (or anytime for that matter). I'm a quiet one and don't do a lot of talking anyway. I like to just be out there in the peace and quiet. I usually end up telling him he's scaring the fish away when he lets one go or belches. (shhhh----keep it quiet! You're scaring the fish!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelemin Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Originally Posted By: LisaTealz I liked how you summed that all up Luvsoutdoors. I'm married to a man who isn't a big chatter in the boat either (but get him anywhere else-whoa that's another matter indeed! ) so I've always fished in a quiet boat. He's very focused on boat control, jigging, keeping us on fish and netting my fish constantly. heehee My wife would likely say the same thing. Although I talk more if we anchor up on a spot and slip bobber. For me this is more "Social" fishing time as I'm no longer glued to the locator or gps. WOW -- alot of great answers people, I'm impressed. I like Borch'e answer the best. When Scott and I fish together, bobber fishing and Lindy ringing are the main social times, but its still minimal. If we are trolling chatter is even less. Scott is great at putting us on fish and boat control. The few times I've run his boat, I've realised how hard boat control can be.

Bottle Fish Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Buy her an Ipod, the boat is quiet time. Couldn't of said it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovermn Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Tell her you can't talk or you'll scare the fish!!! Is that why you don't talk much in the fish house? jk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetico Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Mngirl not talking much in the fish house? I guess things do change. j/kThe women I've fished with just don't seem to understand part of why I enjoy fishing. Peace and quiet. They usually seem irritated if I stop talking for extended periods of time. They just assume somethings wrong. Nothings wrong I just enjoy quiet time while fishing.

mngirl Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 What the???? I talk plenty Mr. sits over in the corner and looks like I talk too much. I concentrate so I can out fish you, but it doesn't look like it will happen this season! Oh well, all good things come to those who bait! Seriously though, I do like fishing for the peace and quiet. I have always loved the outdoors and work in restaurants, so sometimes I just don't want to talk. I like listening to what nature has to say . Actually Hovermn, I need that playlist off that CD you have and played the last time we fished. Pretty please? That's it, I was too into your music, so it's your fault! Haha!!

Laska Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Talk to her about her stuff, to be honest it might now interest you but she will feel more welome in the boat, if you know any interests about her than talk about that! It helps as a icebreaker in the boat and will make her feel more confortable in ur boat and be able to talk more freely, trust me u can still catch fish fish in the process...

Cast A Way Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 My wife/fishing partner/best friend and the one who keeps me in line, talk all the time or sometimes not at all when we fish. Depends on the bite or what we are fishing for, the weather or boat guests. NOW - you may think I'm crazy( alot do ) but the truth of the matter is - my first question to her when we met was -- "Do you like to fish and hunt" when the answer was yes, it wasn't long after that we said I do. That was a wonderfull 37 years ago and it's still a thrill to fish and talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishNovice101 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Cast A Way - Sounds like you have a heck of a partner there. Congrats on 37 years!!!I talk in the boat too. But who cares - it's my boat!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panthrcat Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 interesting thread.... if she wants to talk, ask her what she wants to talk about,, sheesshhh,, doesn't sound that difficult,, or is it that she wants all the attention? some folks are like that,, they want to do things with you, but once you get there, they suddenly aren't interested in it.. and want to turn it around... been there a few times. it sucks. personally, in my boat,, my hubby and I sit for hours at a time, and the only things said are "pass me a minnow please." or "oh I got a dandy!!!!" lol but like it's been said, depends on the fishing too, if it's slower, we'll find things to talk about,, we'll even go to shore for a walk or snoop around... it's all good.
