Fishing is an obsession with some people that can eat up hours of time, sort of like golfing 18 holes! There are two basic ways to fish. One way to fish is from a boat. That is the exciting way, and it usually results in a big catch. The other way to fish is from the beach, riverbank, or pier, which can be not so exciting, more meditative, and as often as not results in no catch. If your loved one likes to disappear for hours at a time on a boat, there may be nothing you can do about it except complain, but if they are wandering down to the beach, riverbank, or pier to fish then read on.

You can become part of this wonderful and ancient hobby by playing companion and assistant. You might even become a good luck charm, who knows. Tefal Kontaktgrill GC760D Optigrill Elite XL Here are some ways to survive keeping your man or woman company while they fish. Besides having the benefit of spending quality time together (it's a great time to just talk about stuff) you might even have fun yourself!

First thing to think about is how keeping yourself comfortable and entertained. Bring food, drinks, and smokes, if applicable. Bring a battery powered radio or music player. Make yourself at home as well as you can. This means bringing a beach chair and even pillows, instead of sitting on the hard sand or bank without any support, or standing around on the pier. Make sure you have the right clothing to keep yourself happy. Be ready for light rain or wind or whatever comes up. If you are comfortable you won't complain about wanting to go home now. Complaining will surely backfire and you won't be invited again.

Secondly, make sure to pamper your fisherperson as well. Offer to hold the flashlight whenever they need to see something. Be helpful and nurturing about their needs. Open their beverage for them. Feed them snacks. Hold the line when they ask you to. And think about investing in a beach shelter of some sort, like a pop up tent or canopy. Be in charge of the shelter so that it is not a distraction for them while they are fishing. You never know when the fish will take the line. The last thing they want to worry about is the tent blowing away in the wind while the big one also gets away.

Your last tactic to surviving your loved ones obsession with fishingis learning how to fish yourself! If you are busy fishing, you can't get too bored, and you will be more on equal terms with your partner. The only problem with this tactic is that in order to not be a nuisance, you usually have to move away from them to keep your lines untangled. So there goes that companionable time together. Unpleasantly, you will have to learn how to bait your own hook. And, if you actually catch something you may have to remove your own fish, which can be difficult and messy. Maybe they will come to your rescue at this point to share in the glory, but then, suddenly, you may be in competition with your fisherperson if you catch fish and they don't. So much for romance!

Spending time outside in nature together with your loved one is a great way to stay close and intimate as well as a great way to keep your relationship interesting. You don't always have to be doing the same thing to have a great time. Supporting one another's favorite activities is a true act of love.
