Spend my Money - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I just have to weigh in here...
I married a bartender 12 years ago, she is now a very successful litigation attorney who entirely supports my fishing habit with gusto. I went to Cabo 3 times this last year, PV once, and I fish locally from three different platforms, Hobie kayak, 23' Parker sport Cabin, and an 18' Parker CC. My collection of avets and black steels are nothing to complain about... I tell you all this to lay the ground work for explaining my answer to you...

1) Bellcon was right, NEVER, NEVER let on how expensive your sport really is...

2) The proper approach must be taken when "handling" Wives...

Take your B-day money and secretly buy your wife a full day at an expensive luxury spa, followed by a romantic evening with diner at her favorite high end eatery (not the Olive Garden guys). While she is at the spa run up to the flower wholesalers in Carlsbad and bribe the guy at the cashier, and you can get an entire bucket of long stemmed red roses for like $30. Deliver 12 to her workplace the next day and take the rest and put them on her car, in her car, in the entryway of the home, up the stairs, in the bathtub, on the bed, you get the idea! Make everything you do for 48 hours about her. Then over Coffee, ask her about a new FF, HD GO Pro, or a 23' Parker Sport Cabin...

3) OPTIONAL- Take the money you save on roses, run down to see Joey at Squidco and get that reel!

You will score all the things on your list, and more, and for penny's on the dollar return! And there are usually some nice fringe benefits as well!

Just Sayin...
