You are the second one to tell Me that and NO I can't keep it out of the water...I sat there today, giving my son every tip I knew to give.. They just would NOT bite his hook..I can't go there and just not fish. I'd rather stay hope.. When the boys (or anybody) beats Me at other things I don't really care.. It's just in fishing that I have always hated to lose... Even when i was fishing with red worms and a bobber... I hated to get beat fishing..Maybe it's cause My Daddy took me and my brothers crappie fishing here when we were kids and whoever lost got rode like Roy Rogers rode Trigger for a month afterwards (By my brothers, not by Daddy)..and I don't rib them about it (well, not too much).. But I do NOT want them to get skunked... Chuck

You need to be the GUIDE and not do any fishing. Let them fish and under your tutelege, they will catch a lot of fish. Can you keep your fly out of the water? I doubt it. ;-) JIMMY D Chuck Alexander wrote: Folks: I have what would be a GREAT problem if it were not my wife and kids that this happened too.I took my wife, my 13 yr old, and my 16 yr old fishing this week..All on separate days.. All to the same lake.. First trip, my 13 yr old.. I caught 52 to his ZERO... Then, the 16 year old.. It was 17-4 as we had to leave cause of a storm. Next, I smoked my wife like a cheap cigar 55-6 LOL...And this has been happening all this year..I tell em it is my lucky Auburn hats, but I don't really know what it is.. I tie flies and give them the SAME fly. we are in the SAME boat, same lake each time like I said.. And all three of them can cast as far and as accurate as I can (cause the fish are IN the grass, so if you land it over a foot away from the grass you catch nothing)... This may sound silly, but they are saying that they don't wanna go fishing with Me again and I hate just fishing with the dog. What can i do to make them catch more fish??? I know I have an advantage as I am in front of the boat running the trolling motor. And they cannot swap out with Me yet cause in Bama now you have to have a boat license for ANY boat that has a motor, electric or gas, and I am the only one with a license right now. But, I'm even backed them into come of the best coves we fish so they would get the first shot at the fish... I don't know what to do cause like i said, i LOVE to win, but not to the point that they are threatening to make me go by myself...Anybody else have this "problem"???
