Fishing Isn't Just for the Boys Anymore: New Website For Lady Bass Anglers Unveiled
Lady Bass Angler, ladybassangler.com, is a new website for women who pursue the sport of bass fishing. Did you know that 26.8 percent of all anglers are female and the numbers fishing for the elusive black bass continues to grow? Bass fishing is the most popular type of fishing in the United States.
(PRWEB) August 31, 2005 --Fishing isn't just for the boys anymore! An amazing
statistic is that 11.9 million women age seven and older fish. That's more than
the number who participate in jogging, basketball, volleyball, softball, golf or
tennis. Women spend on average $246 per year for trip-related fishing expenses
and $70 per year on fishing equipment for a total of $3 billion. Women
definitely impact the fishing industry with participation and purchases.
The website is the only online interactive venue exclusively for women
bass anglers. Future plans call for feature stories authored by guest writers
and "Meet the Lady Bass Angler" forum showcasing the profiles of both amateur
and professional female bass anglers. www.ladybassangler.com is
for women who love to fish for bass and everyone is welcome from novice to
pro.
Linda Berry, a South Carolina Angler said, "Thank you so much for
making this website and forum board available to all of the lady anglers. I know
that once the word is out, it will be buzzin' with activity."
As the
number of women fishing steadily increases, new venues are on the horizon.
B.A.S.S. has recently announced the newly created Women's Bassmaster Tour and
Bass'N Gals Outdoors, another new tour, has announced that their first
tournament will be on Florida's Lake Seminole in September. Both of these tours
will draw anglers on a national level. The website will have information and
schedules of local and professional women's bass tournaments. It will be a
central meeting point for all lady bass anglers.
Madeline Smith,
professional angler, is the website host. Ms. Smith is active in the bass
fishing community and a member of Team Skeeter. She is also the CEO and founder
of BassGifts.com, an Internet website offering gifts and decor featuring the
black bass. For additional information please visit the www.ladybassangler.com
