Although I came into the sport of fishing accidentally (as an adjunct to kayaking) it immediately became a passion, so much so that I recently started a blog...admittedly not the best time of year to start a fishing blog. I haven't really advertised it yet but if you'd like to check it out here it is: http://finscalesandfeathersbyapennlassie.blogspot.com/ Again, great to hear from another lady fisherman Thanks for the great article.

What is funny is that by the end of high school some of the "cool" kids were asking me which farm ponds were worth sneaking onto at night for some good buzz bait action. On the whole women angler thing, I've seen two types, women fishing for husbands and women fishing for fish. My wife is the former, which is OK. She is pleased to have a quiet home on Sundays while I take the boys to the river. I've met relatively few of the later. One was a woman named Barbara. I was dragging my kayak out of the Potomac at Nolands Ferry, and she had just finished a wading trip. Before asking my name, she asked what I caught, what they hit, how far up I paddled, and wanted to see my tackle box. And it wasn't code for some other meaning. She introduced me to the Potomac River Smallmouth Club, which opened up many doors to my development as an angler. Anyhow, it's good to know there's another Barbara out there.

I loved to fish when I was much younger--chased bluegill and crappie, catfish and carp (always let the carp go, but loved to catch them). The same truth was held back in Indiana---if you hunted or fished or even camped outside, you were a 'redneck'. The military, then college came about, then family and I didn't pick up a rod/reel again until 6 years ago when my then seven year old daughter asked for a fishing pole for her birthday. I resolved not to get her a 'barbie' rod, so I started talking to the owner of the tackle store near where I lived in Hanover. I bought a decent spinning rod and reel for both her and her older brother and one for myself. At that point, I was hooked. While I'm not as addicted as some (when the temps dip below about 45, I can't stand being outside), I go out in the rain..fog..at night..whenever I can get away. I'm taking the next step (at 48) and pulling the trigger on a Kayak this spring. Why? because fishing from shore, unless you are fishing for catfish, trout, etc, you're not going to be as productive---because you can't get where the fish are. Keep at it..never give up, never give in.. Callie–

I understand you're speaking from personal experience as a woman, but just about everything you said is great advice for everyone who enjoys, loves, or has a passion for fishing, not just women. Great job! Nice read!

Maps, launches and fully functional GPS on your smartphone, nationwide for $10. Plus the social feature makes it better than a stand alone unit.... You can mark items and share them with nobody (for you), friends or everyone. Nice to know that new rock reef is out there before you bank into it or get back to that secret spot of yours.

It is easy to use and great for all levels of paddlers. It is both quick and maneuverable and isn't too heavy to carry. The versatility of the craft means that it can be set up for any activity you could ever want to do. I bought mine from <a href="http://oceankayaksales.com/shop/index.php?c=all&n=3375301&i=B006PAPH52&x=Versa_Board_Stand_Up_Paddleboard_2012" rel="nofollow">oceankayaksales.com</a> and have used it nearly every day since.

I have one called "Tale of the tape". You can enter type of fish, length, gerth and get an approx. weight. It is kind of fun to play with. Thanks, I will the two that I didn’t already have.
