WOMEN BASS FISHING PROS WHAT CHOICES DO THEY HAVE NOW

In women bass fishing news Espn announced that Bass canceled the the Women's Bass Masters Pro Tour,in 2010 there was just not enough outside interest in the sport for them to make any money and with today's economy every sport is affected .

Bass'N Gals was another Pro tournament trail for women bass fishing,it had grown to over 33,000 when it was canceled in 1998.

It was Helen Sevier who broke the barrier for women in bass fishing and after that came others like Bojai Reed, the first woman to fish a Bass Master Invitational Tournament. Freeda Lee and Linda England, the first women to tour on the Bass Master Tournament Trail.

Chris Houston was another great bass fishing woman who was a seven-time Angler of the Year on the ladies tour Bass'N Gals, and last year we had Kim Bain-Moore who was the first woman to fish the Bass Masters Classic .

Women have come a long way in the sport you still have pro tours for woman Women's Bass Division A Division of The International Federation of "Black Bass" Anglers, and The Women's Bass Fishing Association.

Just like in the mens side they are just not as well known sort like the minors in baseball you still get paid but not as much.
I have found very few women bass fishing clubs,one of them is Gateway Bass 'n Gals Club I am sure there are more then what I have found.

So if you know of any be sure to tell them about our sight and the big bass contest. I have fished tournament trails with my husband but none of his club tournaments he has asked could I fish as a guess if he didn't draw a non-boater or could I join their club as a non boater.

Most Clubs Will Not allow woman to fish with them giving lots of excuses like; It the guys day away from their wives and kids, the wives wouldn't like it, women cause to many problems.

Most clubs put it in the bi-laws all new members have to be voted on that way they can keep anyone out they deem unsuitable for their club.

It really shouldn't matter a fish does not know who is holding the rod that catches him. So women bass clubs are about the only way for a woman to fish in a club. Most of the trails we fished I was the only woman fishing with them and my husband was the only Black man when we would come in to money or got big fish at the championship.

If looks could kill, I would be six feet under fertilizing flowers. They didn't won't us there, and they didn't want us winning their money if you know what I mean.

I have noticed more and more couples trails like ABA Couples Series So when a woman wins the Bass Masters Classic all those men in their men only clubs are going to be green with envy and its going to happen one day.

Maybe this year with Pam Martin-Wells, the second woman two qualify for the Bass Masters Classic which happens to be on Lay lake Alabma my home state.

I will be sharing some of our stories. I would like to here some of yours, too. I know am not the only one who has run in to these problems of women in bass clubs.
