Still fishing. How to not get bored while waiting for any fish to bite?
I usually cast and retrieve lures but i got my gf to go fishing with my tomorrow who, i doubt she is willing to walk around a whole lake with me? So im just going to stick with still fishing but from my past experiences with still fishing, i learned that if i were to sit still anywhere for too long i fall alseep. How do you guys stay awake?

Taking the GF? Great time to get to know one another, take a deck of cards, or another pole and catch bait

Read a book, play a board/card game, have a picnic, listen to music/podcast. You can do anything while waiting really.

Put it in a folder with a bell if you’re fishing with bait and cherish that time you’ll spend with her. Vogue has 36 questions to help pass the time and open up dialogue.

When I used to take my gf fishing she would get bored. I love catfishing from the bank. So lots of sitting. At first she was not really into fishing so wasnt really that much fun. We would get to the lake and I would rig up the poles and cast them, sit for a while, no action she was ready to go. So I started using only one pole. Cast it out and ask her if she wants to go looking for stuff while we wait. Fun rocks, lures and stuff I call treasures. We would get far enough away that I showed her how to skip rocks. When you catch a fish let her real it in. Get her hooked. Now my wife she loves fishing! she now has more patience than I do lol. Get out and play, if you catch fish it's a bonus.
Hope this helps some.
Also when leave your pole make sure its secured nicely. The fish will drag them in and you'll never see your beloved rod and reel combo again. Happened to me multiple times.

Rip. I hope your rod and reel combos are in a good place. Anyways thank you, this gives me hope that maybe she'll come to like fishing too so she wont question my frequent visits to bass pro shops and canadian tire.

Rods and reels was a good sacrifice in the beginning, gave us something to laugh about. Like I said just get her to the lake and play. if you catch a fish let her reel it in. Take pics and say she caught that fish and before you know it she will say, you go look for ROCKS I will wait here and catch fish lol.
