"Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing!"
"Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing!"® (LLGF)
the award-winning fishing
seminar series, announces its
third annual Costa Rica special
event.
This event differs from its
seminars as it offers a vacation
complete with a fishing
adventure and is open to male
guests. The event is slated for
Jan. 19-24, 2006 at Parrot Bay
Village (PBV), Puerto Jimenez,
Costa Rica.
Located on the Oso Peninsula in
the southern Pacific region of
Costa Rica, Parrot Bay Village
offers spectacular fishing for
Pacific sailfish and is known
for its typically calm waters.
During the first LLGF trip to
Parrot Bay Village two years
ago, a group of twelve people
released 76 Pacific sailfish and
caught 22 yellowfin tuna in two
days.
Hosted by the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission
and presented by Mercury
Outboards, the main mission of
LLGF is to conduct weekend
fishing seminars for women.
This "No-Yelling School of
Fishing" teaches women to fish
by doing.
The seminars typically begin
with a Friday evening welcome
reception, followed by classes
on Saturday morning at beginner
and advanced levels covering
topics of inshore, offshore,
bottom and fly fishing. After
lunch, the women practice
hands-on fishing skills. The
program concludes with a fishing
trip on Sunday, followed by
fillet class. LLGF weekend
programs attract an average of
60 - 100 women per seminar,
which have traveled from 42
states and other countries to
learn fishing. The 2006 schedule
will be revealed shortly.
With more than 4,000 graduates
over the last ten years of the
school’s operation, demand for
adventure fishing has increased.
Commented the program’s founder,
Betty Bauman, "Once the ladies
have conquered their local
fishing areas, they want to
expand their experience and
challenge new horizons such as
tackling sailfish in Costa Rica.
Plus, they want to share the
excitement with a significant
other - that’s why they decided
to include male guests on this
trip."
