Drifted this morning (Mother's Day) from Sailor Bar to Sunrise. On the water at dawn, off at 10:30am. I'm going to guess every other fisherman with a boat must have kids because we were the ONLY boat on the water (no kids for us).

Shad stacked up everywhere. Bite was pretty good until around 10am. Wife-unit has never caught a shad before, so of course she catches the biggest one I have ever seen, then boats four fish to every one for me. WTF?

She has never spent a dime on gear, never bought a boat, never read a fishing book or magazine... only goes to Kiene's Fly Shop to play with the dogs (she loves Jelly). Also, can't cast, gets tangled in everything, and won't stop giggling. Oh, she also choose flies based on which one "looks pretty". What am I doing wrong?
