It's sad to see the womens forum so sadly under used here. I guess their too busy fishing or whatever to use this great outlet for them.

What a shame.

It is a shame. We seldom see the ladies responding to any of the forums. I think it would be interesting to get their viewpoint.

Hi guys....glad to know someone misses us! :

I personally do more reading than writing.  I've responded to a few posts and well........let's just say some of them haven't been too kind.  That plus I've become addicted to facebook so it takes up a lot of free time

Hopefully when the LBAA kicks off the tour, more ladies will become more active on here.  (that's September, on Dardenelle)

I too am glad to see that we are conspicuous in our absence! I can't speak for any of the other ladies, but in the summer my computer gets sorely neglected. I've been too busy putting a floor in my boat (all done, looks great!) and catching my personal best largemouth at 4lbs and in Wisconsin, that is not a fish to sneeze at!

You're right, a 4lb bass in Wisconsin is a great catch. I've been fishing all over the state for many years. Bass fishing in wisconsin is making a big come-back thanks to the catch & release part of the season. Keep it up, you will be breaking your PB real soon. 8-)

All the women are fishing not writing. LOL ;D

I have to agree with Deb, I do more reading then writing.

With the LBAA kick off at Dardenell and hopefully a great schedule set for 2011 more ladies will join in and get to talking.

I just had the lower unit replaced after dealing with the warranty issues and then insurance co..But I got the call an hour ago it was ready. Sooooooooo I'm looking to get fishing this weekend.

Hey Deb, Don't let things get to you. Glenn runs a tight ship & the bad ones will get a pink slip. Some of the members will sometime get a little forceful making there point & get caught up in the heat of things but all is good.
I have a good buddy over in Pineville KY that bleeds blue also. He is forever calling me to tell me about those pussycats or what ever that team is called
Good Luck on the tour this year.

Pink slip issued.

Woa, what happened?  Warranty?  Did it have a bad lower unit?

Glad to hear you're back on the water!

Thanks, The warraty examination said the splines were twisted and they tried to say it was improper reversing, so they wouldn't cover it. But further exam on the splines showed it wasn't that, so it must have been an impact or something. I do know we came to a sudden stop at 60 MPH when the unit blew. But whatever, at least the Insurance co replaced the lower unit.

The most interesting part is being towed by an airboat and the insurance company saying they didn't have a preferred tow provider except the Coast Guard. FYI, I don't think the Coast Guard operates in Lake Kissimmee.

Hi! Just curious...why do you all think there are so few female fishermen? Any comments on reception of women in local bass clubs?  Thanks for this forum, Glenn!

[senile1]

I think it starts with the way boys and girls are raised. Some families are more likely to point a boy towards fishing and hunting than a girl. I'm not saying everyone is like that but I think there are still a lot of people, especially some men, who still think this way.

Regarding the BR women's forum, in my opinion this specific forum is about bass fishing and news or issues that relate to women participating in bass fishing. There are other forums about rods, reels, boats, equipment, lures, etc. in which some of our women do participate. I could be wrong but I think this forum is idle for long periods because most of the subjects related to bass fishing are covered in other forums on this website. Additionally, there aren't as many women participants in the membership.
