Well Ladies, we complained and they listened. No more babes in bikini's, unless you are the one posting it. No more bad-taste request from our guys. This is a section now for women (and men-we still love you guys) to enjoy talking and sharing about issues in the outdoors that effect us all, but might has special significance to women. I am looking forward to being the modertator of this old/new section and all the fun that can be had and knowledge that can be shared. Enjoy everyone!

    Now who doesn't enjoy catching a whiff of the ripe scent of testosterone first thing in the morning?

    Speaking of which...did anyone notice the number of mods we have for this section?...guess they're anticipating some real rabble rousing goings on. :cool:

    Hey FishyGirl - Nice to meet you as well. We actually just got back from a day of ice fishing it was -30C (-22F) we managed to only get one lake trout. That being said I much prefer fishing in warmer weather aka Florida.

    Hey there! I'm new also :) I'm excited to have found the ladies section of this forum! Hubs and I just got our first boat, we've been sticking them from land and from our canoe for the past few years so the boat is definitely a treat now! We live down in the South Fort Myers/Sanibel area. We both work on Sanibel and that's where we do a majority of our fishing.

    Finally! I fish mostly out of Sarasota, but do fish out of Pensacola from time to time. If any ladies fish those two areas, let me know!

    Hello Ladies,
    A warm greeting from a newbie. I am a NAUI diver who recently fell in love with spearfishing.
    A close friend took me, couple of times, in Florida, at Slough Lake and from that moment I was caught by this virus.
    Anyway, I'm very excited about this idea of women anglers.
    Go ladies !!!

    Tynna, we have several avid divers here, including DiveGirl. Hope you find a warm welcome. We look forward to some great new dive stories. And a Cali girl at that. I am originally from Santa Barbara county.

    Hi Ladies! I am new on this forum and am looking for some advice on East Coast sail fishing...We are taking our boat from St. Petersburg to West Palm the 2nd week of March. Do any of you have recent sail fishing reports? We are new to this and would like some advice on where to get fresh rigged ballyhoo or live bait, and areas that we should concentrate on for fishing. We were thinking about staying at the Sail Fish Marina but would love recommendations from the group. We prefer to stay on the Palm Beach side of the inlet if anyone can suggest a good spot.

    Sail fish marina is nice. I taught at a ladies lets go fishing there once. I am no help to you with sails, since we are mainly inshore, but I am sure others can chime in with assistatnce.

    Welcome!

    As a husband - dad with daughter and grandaughters it's been a blessing introducing them to all things outdoors. I always told my daughter enjoy the bikinl days, just be sure to remember the sun is not very kind with too much exposure. So it became very amusing that so many fish pics (everywhere) pictured the lady in the smallest of attire, while the dude with her (or dude pics in general), featured us with face masks, gloves, long sleeves & long pants. Don't get me wrong - I love to see gals in bikinis etc. just thought the comparison was heavily skewed. Many times looking at the tiny bikini - we'd joke, oh yes there is a fush in the picture. All with respect fish on and enjoy life!

    Hi. :). I am a novice... This is actually my first post, I have been reading and watching videos trying to teach myself how to fish. I live in Jacksonville FL. My hubby and I moved here a year ago. He looks at fishing as an engineering problem. Lol. I am the one who drags him along for the sport of it :)

    Can anyone recommend a reputable guide/charter for some bay fishing in the Cape Coral area?

    You may want to move your question about guides to the west coast section. Probably get a better response.
