My wife did pretty well when I took her out. The first time I took her she caught about 10 nice cutts. She thought it was pretty fun until the next time when fishing was slower. I've taken her out a handful of times, but she gets bored if about 10 minutes go by without a fish. She did have fun one other time when we got into a school of 8-10" bluegill with some perch mixed in. She was catching them on every cast just throwing out a 2" grub. I finally made her start taking the fish off the hook because I wasn't able to make any casts she was catching so many.
Later I tried to teach her little brother to fish, and it was way more like baby sitting. He had the hardest time figuring out how to take the hooks out and was always having gear malfunctions.
I only wish I could get away for 12 hours. That is truly a rarity. I used to work evenings and would try to cram in quick trips before work, but then I always smelled like fish and pond scum at work, and it seemed like I'd really dial them in right about the time I had to leave.. Now my schedule is just a little better and I might make a 6-8hr trip on a good day. Oh well, once school is done I'll be working three 12s and then I can do all sorts of fishing with four days off [
