The Woman Angler & Adventurer

I recently had the opportunity to do a tour of the St. Croix Rods headquarters in Park Falls, WI. I have to say, if you're into fishing and you ever have the opportunity to do this free tour, I highly recommend you do it! The manufacturing process of a fishing rod is unbelievable. At St. Croix, they even make their own blanks, and to able to witness that process alone is phenomenal.  Before th...

On this week's episode, my special guest is BeBe Harrison and we have a lot to chat about! BeBe is a very busy lady in the fishing industry.

We had such a fantastic time fishing with Captain Mark Cahlik with Mark1 Sportfishing and Bays Edge Resort up on Lake Erie out of Port Clinton, OH a few weeks ago that he invited us back up to have a go at smallmouth bass this time around. What a treat that was! These smallmouth on Lake Erie are no joke. We caught a bunch of chunks that meant business and we had an absolute ball! The same crew got...

It was a hot and humid grind, but we all survived and I'm bringing you a quick recap of my experience on this week's episode! I also had a couple conversations from backstage during weight-in on Day 2 with a couple other anglers, Noella Mclaurin and Shannon Wells to share a little bit about their experience. While it didn't end well at all for me, I am happy to say I earned enough AOY points throu...

We stayed at the beautiful Bays Edge Resort where I stayed when I came up for a girls trolling trip in the fall. The accommoda...

Annie Klaver took a leap of faith after being burned out working on Music Row. The outdoors and water were calling her name. She took to kayaking on the river and that ignited the passion in her to help others have the experience as well, so she started River Queen Voyages with a kayak, a church van and a trailer. From there it has grown into River Queen Adventures, now offering several different...

This week I am honored to welcome Florida Keys Charter Captain Deb Deyo to the show! I've been following Captain Deb's journey on social media for a while now and she is doing amazing things down in The Keys with her new charter business. I know it had to take a lot of hard work and dedication for her to make this dream happen, so I had a hunch that featuring her on the show would be a major inspi...
