  • Miami, FL (1888PressRelease) September 30, 2011 - The finest of fishing will be shared with women at the award winning "Ladies, Let's Go Fishing!®" Keys weekend seminar, November 11-13 at Holiday Isle Resort & Marina, Islamorada, FL ─ "the Sport Fishing Capital of the World."

    For 16 years, over 6,000 seminar graduates have praised the program and returned to learn more. Upon receiving an award for attending the event eleven times, Lurue Lord, Statesboro, GA, said, "Fishing is a lifelong passion. The best anglers never stop learning!" Participants have released sailfish and more on their first-ever fishing trips.

    For this event, held in conjunction with support from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, women will travel from several states for an exciting weekend of educational and hands-on fishing activities, habitat conservation and to meet other female anglers. The seminar provides an opportunity for the ladies to use their newly-acquired techniques to fish inshore or offshore on their choice of a group boat, flats boat or sportfishing boat.

    The Award-winning "No-Yelling School of Fishing" Curriculum
    Known as the "No-Yelling School of Fishing," this award-winning seminar for women will kick off on Friday, November 11, with a meet-and-greet social from 6:30-8:30 pm featuring networking, raffle and silent auction for registrants and guests.

Skills such as releasing, conservation, knot tying, bait rigging, spin and net casting, gaffing grapefruits, trailer backing, boat handling, stand-up fish fighting techniques and more will be taught. Events conclude with a silent auction, followed by food, music and fun with artist Pasta Pantaleo at his new Signature Gallery, MM 81.5 oceanside in a historical Red Cross home. On Sunday, November 13, women embark on a Fishing Adventure (optional and additional) followed by a fish fillet demonstration. Women can opt to sign up a male guest on boats that take two-four (inshore/flats) and group boat (party boat) trips only.

    The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will educate women fishing hopefuls on the importance of marine conservation by showing the habits that can be developed so each person can make a difference, no matter where they fish.
