I grew up on a lake and my aunt came out very often in the summer and we would go fishing. Now we have a cabin in northern Minnesota and go there every week from April thru Oct and we fish all the time. Mostly I fish for sunnies and we do go trolling for northerns, and those I pickle because I do not like to pick out those nasty y bones. Taught my now 11 yr old DGD to fish when she was 4 yrs old and now she loves it also, yes I am a fisherwoman. No more winter fishing though - to hard on hands when water is cold.

MIL was originally from Michigan and now in SW Colorado. She loves her bait fishing. Uses a John Boat in summer, but never uses a motor, electric or otherwise, and she likes oars and rowing on small lakes. She hauls her little boat out to her favorite lake in the pickup and launches it all by herself to fish all day long, then loads it back up and drives home.
In the winter, when her favorite lake is frozen, she spends a good part of the day out on it with her snow shovel, hand operated ice auger, stool, and thermos full of coffee.

I do not fish. I read while others fish. Just in case some of you missed this, when I posted it before......
A man and his wife go to their fishing lodge to spend some quiet time. She hates to fish, so while he fishes, she reads. One afternoon, he came back early saying he wanted a nap. She couldn't read peacefully while he snored, so she went out to the boat and floated while she read. Pretty soon a game warden comes by in his spiffy boat. He asks to see her fishing license. She says "I don't have one, I am just reading". He replies "I can see you have all the equipment to fish, and for all I know you were just about to start fishing, so I am going to write you a ticket." She says " Oh very well, but I am going to have to file charges on you for rape." He steps back and says "But I never touched you!" She says "Well, I can see you have all the equipment, and for all I know you are about to start!" He quietly left.
Moral of the story- Never hassle a woman who reads, chances are she can think too! Hugs! -Kelly
