Women’s “Beyond BOW” fishing clinic to be held in Deland, Fla.

When it comes to fishing, there’s no educational substitute for TOW (time on the water). You’ll hear veteran anglers preach this over and over again for the simple reason that it’s true. There’s no better teacher than experience. However, for some women, it can be a challenge assembling all of the resources (boat, knowledgeable fishing friends and/or equipment) needed to get that TOW. That’s when you can rely on the “Beyond BOW” Fishing Clinics coordinated by Jeanene Arrington-Fisher of Not a Clue Adventures to help you out. Jeanene gave Debbie Hanson of B’ASS Fisherwomen all of the official details when we saw her at the BOW Ocala workshop in March.
