I am passionate about Fishing.! and most people know me as the fishergirl.
10 Years ago I would have laughed at anyone that even suggested the possibility of me fishing, let alone
LOVE fishing.
I had never experienced fishing in my life. The closest I ever got to the sport was when I was 9 years
old. As I was running around playing all of a sudden I felt a major pain in my right hand.
I hadn't noticed that a young boy was casting his rod at the shoreline and as he tossed his line in his
hook had managed to stick into my nuckle on my middle finger and it became embedded. With the hook in the bone,
it had to be cut out. Not one of my happiest memories and I still have the scar to prove it.
When I met my now husband Andre he introduced me to fishing and as I say "he really got me hooked".
Fishing has been an amazing healing experience that has changed my life. When I realized that women had
fallen through the cracks when it came to fishing gear, I decided to make girls fishing rods. When I saw an opportunity
to help raise funds for Breast Cancer, the Pink Fishing Rod was created and I founded FisherGirl Inc. in 2003.
I sold FisherGirl Inc in September 2007 so that I could follow my dreams and vision. I am now
the founder of many online websites, a published writer and professional photographer combining my love for the outdoors
and fishing.
I hope to share some of my experiences, whether they are good bad or just plain funny.
Fishing has given me it all. I know that I have never had so many amazing times in
my life that I have had sitting on a shoreline or in the boat. Each experience that I go out on has a moment that makes
me realize how fortunate I am to have found my husband and he shared his love for this sport with me.
I call fishing my Hydrotherapy for the Soul. I hope that you have the chance to experience it
too.
...........Catch my Passion.
