Ladies Lets Go Fishing Event

Hey everyone!

I just talked with Betty Bauman about the latest Ladies Lets Go Fishing event in Florida; man was she excited about it!

“Ladies came from as far away as Massachusetts to learn fishing South Florida style at the 11th Annual “Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing!” seminar. Almost 50 women spent their weekend learning saltwater fishing and conservation skills at the seminar, held in conjunction with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The seminar offered a welcome reception, fishing classes and hands-on instruction.
The seminars utilized several “hands-on” fishing exercises on Saturday afternoon, such as spin casting, net casting, knot tying, putting bait on hooks, conservation, boat handling, backing a truck and trailer and reeling against pressure. After the half day fishing trip on Sunday, the event concluded with a fish fillet demonstration. A highlight of the trip, described as an ‘adrenaline rush’, was a 60 lb. golden amberjack caught by a team of ladies aboard Lady Pamela,” Betty told me.
Comments from participants:
“Great for women who don’t have someone to fish with!” - D. Carstensen, Parkland, FL
“Enthusiastic leaders, non-threatening, lots of info!” - D. Day, Jupiter, FL
“Great way to get your feet wet!” - M. Daily, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
“I signed up to learn and definitely did. Instructors were patient and lived up to the ‘no-yelling’ slogan.” - J. Johnson, Hollywood, FL
“Skill stations exceeded my expectations!” - I. Ricciuti, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Great job ladies. I hope to see you out on the water again soon!

    I would be glad to help you find someone in your area.
    Options you may find local are Bass Clubs and organizations like Lions, VFW, Elk etc. We sponsor kids fishing events thru them all over the country. Other places that can help are the local fishing tackle dealers or stores like Dicks, Academy, or Bass Pro
    What City are you in?
