Women to Catch Fishing Fever at “Ladies, Let's Go Fishing!"® Gulf Coast Seminar, Naples, FL March 11-13, 2011
Naples, FL, January 19, 2011 --(PR.com)-- It starts with a tug on the line. The excitement ensues...What is it? How big? Now, women can be prepared with fishing skills to build their confidence when tackling a sport dominated by men. Women of all angling abilities are invited to learn or fine-tune fishing skills at the award winning “Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing!”® seminar, March 11-13, 2011 in Naples, FL. Held in conjunction with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), the program will offer a weekend of educational fishing activities at the Naples Harbour Yacht Club, with hotel accommodations at the Marriott Fairfield Inn & Suites.
The seminar will kick off with the Harbor Financial networking happy hour at the beautiful Naples Harbor Yacht Club on Friday evening, March 11, from 6-8 pm. The classroom portion starts at 8:00 am on Saturday, March 12, where fishing techniques will be taught at beginner and intermediate/advanced levels in the morning. Fishing topics and speakers will be Capt. Kevin Merritt/Rod and Reel Basics, Capt. Jon Fetter/Inshore, Capt. Will Geraghty/Offshore-Bottom and Capt. Roan Zumfelde/Fly Fishing. After lunch, the women will participate in several “hands-on” fishing stations, such as conservation techniques, spin casting, net casting, landing and releasing, trailer backing, fly casting, knot tying, gaffing grapefruits, boat handling and reeling against pressure, until 4:30 pm. On Sunday, March 13, participants have the option to practice their newly learned skills from either a bay/backcountry or group boat, followed by a fillet demonstration.
Year after year, participants praise the program and share the experience with fellow female anglers. “Being able to pick, choose, and move between skill stations was terrific! I loved the flexibility,” commented Mary Hackney, Naples, FL. Georgia Allen, Bonita Springs, FL added, "I learned more about fishing in two days than from my dad in 20 years!"
Featured on national network television and more, the series is held in conjunction with the FWC through the Sport Fish Restoration Program, with major partners such as Ranger, Mercury, BoatU.S. ANGLER Insurance, Gulfstream Int’l Airlines, Minn Kota, Humminbird and Magic Tilt Trailers.
