Mine does the same thing. You ask him if he wants to go fishing, and he's sitting by the door of the truck waiting to get in. My pooch has been hooked once in the boat (had one bait I hung on the front of the boat as we were getting out, and he found it. Luckilly it was in and out and we cut it out quick). He hangs his head on the side of the boat watching every cast, and gets excited when we hook 'skis but just lays there if we get bass or pike. I kept him tied up to the butt seat the first few trips, which ended up with him jumping out and getting his leg tangled in the leash. Bad news. Tore the ligaments off of his back leg. Luckilly he was only 10 mos. old and the vet fixed him up good. Now he is a very good dog in the boat and knows where he can go and where he can't. Teach them the rules and they'll follow them well. Hitting the water with him after work tonight, weather dependent (may get some storms). He's got some good luck too when he's in the boat, and gives me a look like, "dude, get over it, it's just a fish" when I loose them.  | ||

| It took my Weim one little poke of a hook and she had everything figured out. She is by far my best fishing partner....now only if i could train her to work a net | |||

| our dog loves to be in the boat and as small as she is i take her all the time except when its cold. I also throw in a old towel for her to lay on under the counsel along with some treats and water.

He knows my boat bag, rain gear and I think even my fishing clothes because he starts going berzerk when I starte getting ready. He gets to hop in whenever we come off the big motor (I always ensure I come off plane well away from where I'll be fishing) and gets to cool off. #*^@ dog even wants in the water in December. He's tethered witha quick release and his life jacket when we're on plane, but fishing, he's sans life jacket and free to roam. He doesn't like the cast though. He stays out of my casting arc, which if fine by me. But I don't know why. He's never been hit or hooked. Attachments ---------------- P7040072.JPG (149KB - 93 downloads) | ||

| Willow got here first video trolling run today and did very well. She is very calm in the boat and just curious to whats going on around her. When she gets bored, she just curls up on her bed. (she is now 14 weeks...other pic was when she came home @ 7 weeks) Attachments ---------------- 100_5021.JPG (76KB - 88 downloads) | |||
