Question for guys who take there wife in the boat

My wife wanted to ask you guys, what does your wife do when nature calls and your on the water in your boat?
Thanks for your input.

A bucket and something that shields and your set

If she needs to take a leak the front livewell works just fine. If it is otherwise we are heading to a nearby shoreline establishment.

My old boat had 2 baitwell compartments that stood up. She used the front for the toilet. It worked slick. She just had to wait until no one was around. Not sure on the new boat, but I’m guessing some sort of bucket in between the console.

If it’s # 2??? It would be heading to shore.

I usually make her wear a diaper. One them depend adult jobers.

No gunnels on your boat??? You will laugh so hard you might have to go!!!!

Fire up the empty baitwell and let er buck

time for a swim! (although not speaking from experience – haven’t yet had my wife in the boat with me while fishing… )

No direct answer to that one here, but I will tell you that after 18 years of being married and many more dating that same woman, every time I plan/planned any kind of outing, the first thing on her mind is exactly that. Fishing (boat), ice fishing, hunting, camping, outdoors anything, travel, etc., ….that is her first thought.
I read your post to her and she said she just spoke to another woman who was out at Time Square for New Years Eav. That woman said that is a huge problem when everyone is crowded into the streets (1+ million people shoulder to shoulder) for that event. Nowhere to go but right on the spot where you are standing – 1 million people or not. You can’t move! I’ve never been there for that, so I can’t claim that info to be factual, but i would certainly see that as a true issue for both males and females.
When you and yours figure out a good solution, let me know, it may give me an opportunity to be “out” with her more – and not worrying about where and when nature calls so much.
P.S. My new boat has a 150 HP motor on it. This condition seemded to work in favor of my arguement when buying it (gave her the belief that she can make it somewhere faster…..).

I usually fish the river and there are few houses or boats around so ill grab her hands as she drops the pants and bends over…works pretty well and the occassional jet skiier zooming by will get the from her..but ohh well.

I carry a inbed hospital unit in my boat
works slicker than snot for us,drop and go then scoop and rinse

I keep one of the folding toilets in my storage area. They fold up to next to nothing. They work great if you have to take a #2 also. They cost $9 at Bass Pro. Just bring a sheet with ya to cover up with. See’em here
portable toilet

I will find the proper facilites on shore to accomadate any woman in my boat. I’ve been partnered up with women in the past in fishing tournaments and thats about the first thing I tell them…I don’t care where we are I will find a bathroom if you need it…I have noticed that they refuse to drink anything while on the boat for fear that we’ll have to find one.

haha….I forgot to mention that the first time I was partnered with a chick, she had a “portajon” strapped to the top of her tackle box. I think the first thing to come out of my mouth was “there is no way in hell you’re using that in my boat” We ended up finding a bathroom for her that day

Let’s see…She says she’s used the dog water dish, livewell, baitwell and minnow bucket.

TURN AROUND…DON’T LOOK…

Ahh, good times.

My wife will use the bucket when needed but, she still prefers a run up the river looking for that perfect tree

The girl friend on the other hand can pee in a coffee can

Here ya go:

Last year we saw a nice looking lady just perch on the side and let it go. Happened so fast we weren’t sure it happened at all.

a five gallon bucket works fine,preferably a metal one because they sound funnier

It was never a problem until my wife was expecting our first last year. She was worried she was not going to be able to go on our Lake Erie trip because of the longer runs to some of the fishing spots. One day an old timer on our block called me over and he had a present for her. It is called the “Little John”. It also has three different sized adapters for females. My wife was very skeptical at first, but it ended up saving her fishing season. She fished up to a month before our son was born. You can also bring it on long road trips.

Check it out and good luck,

My wife just goes over the side.If its crowded were we are fishing,we just take a short little boat ride away from every one and she pees away .

“Hold it!”

Well, for the wife and the two kids…. I went to a sporting goods store and bought a small porta-potty with a lid. It takes up a little space, but not too bad. Place it between the consoles and squat down.

Not bad for the guys either when you’re not in the mood to head in and nature calls. Kind of like when you get to the deer stand and then nature calls. Same seems to happen when the fish start biting at sunset.

Now a response from a woman who spents many hours in a boat. The best thing is just to bring a little bucket – one a little bigger/sturdier than an ice cream bucket – is the perfect size. Either between the consoles if you have them, behind a seat or just near the side of the boat. This will usually give her all the privacy she’ll need. If you happen to be near other boaters and they look over, they really can’t tell what you are doing – or else they do what I do when I see a guy – just be curteous and look the other way.

She’ll be good to go.

Fishing with my wife several years ago & she says “when you see a bathroom, I have to go” We were out in the middle of Oahe somewhere.

This was the moment I had been waiting for, when I bought my “little johnnie”, I also purchased the optional “Y” adaptar.
So, I digs around in the storage compartment & came out with the “devise”. “Here, use this” Well, I got one of those looks, you know the one.

Then she spots one of the cups that the crawlers come in, “I could use that” I said no way, but she insisted that if she could hit one of the small jars they gave her in the hospital for a sample, then she could hit the crawler cup.

So, the crawlers vacate the cup, she sets it on the floor, squats down & proceeds to pee. “STOP, STOP, STOP your splattering all over my carpet” I’m yelling & laughing so hard I almost wet my pants.

Now when she goes fishing with me (not often) I hand her a styrofoam cup (tall 28 ozer) & there’s the Look again.

We still get a chuckle out of the experience.

To answer your question on Times square. I was there in 93 It is factual with that many people. Doorways and curbs get pretty messy at the end of the night.

Here is the best solution for the problem. Carry a poncho in the boat for the gals. They put the poncho on and have complete privacy with both hands free. This allows them to drop their britches and take care of business without anyone being any the wiser. This works great even in crowded conditions.

I always carry a trash pail or bucket that serves double duty.

I carry a small porta potti that slips between the consoles and under the front deck…we just move away from the crowd and it works great.

Lots of good ideas here, I guess I’ve always ran to the portapottys, not so sure how the wife would handle the here pee in this cup idea. Good thing I got a faster boat now.

Thanks for all the replys, after reading all of them my wife likes the Portable Potty from Bass Pro and the rain pancho ideas best. You guys just saved me some fishing time next spring now that I won’t have to pull anchor and find a bathroom.
