Welcome to this special encore audio edition of Women's World of Fishing Monday Night Takeover on The Woman Angler & Adventurer Podcast.
Last week, Barbara Harris and I welcomed Executive Director of Fishanistas Jeanine Blair to the show. Fishanistas is a women's fishing group designed to encourage and support ALL women of ALL races and ethnic backgrounds.
Welcome to a milestone! The 200th episode of The Woman Angler & Adventurer podcast. Since this show launched back in 2018, we've had only a few West Coast anglers on the show- not nearly enough. So I can't think of a better way to celebrate our 200th episode with another West Cost angler- Clara Ricabal!
Clara's origins are from Cuba, so she's bi-lingual and part of Takemefishing.org's Women Making Waves campaign, as well as their Vamos A Pescar initiative to help get more women and minorities involved in the sport of fishing.
This week meet a TakeMeFishing.org Women Making Waves WaveMaker Nicole Jacobs. Nicole's main mission is to promote equity and inclusion in the world of bass fishing. She executes her mission very well despite juggling fishing some big pro bass tournaments, being a single mom, and going to grad school!
One of the main slogans on this show has been "if she can do it, you can do it" and that's what this episode is all about. Sharing Nicole's story in order to encourage you to chase your fishing dreams!
This week we have a special episode of The Woman Angler & Adventurer podcast. I was recently an in studio guest on Reel Talk Radio ESPN 99.3 in Southwest Florida hosted by Captain Debbie Hanson. They were kind enough to let me share clips from the show on the podcast so all of you can check it out if you missed it.
Debbie and I had so much fun catching up. We also had some really cool call ins including Amy Lockhart from Lady Vets Fishing and Betty Bauman from Ladies, Let's Go Fishing! Amy will be a guest on an upcoming episode so you can hear her full story and I've wanted to have Betty on the show for some time, so this works out great. You're going to hear all the latest goings on with the Ladies, Let's Go Fishing organization.
