Thanks to your support, the “Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing!” University Series has given many aspiring anglers the chance to learn skills that will empower them to go fishing and boating. We would like to thank you again for supporting the University series and events!

Social Media: While we participate in several venues, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Linked In, Alignable, Google Business and more, the best reach to our followers is on Facebook with photo galleries and individual or group photos.

Media Coverage: Coverage from all over the U.S has been off the charts, with many outlets listing our top sponsors. Hundreds of thousands of additional exposures! Most recently we have gotten immense exposure from our report about women and fishing in multiple media listing you as a sponsor. Here’s an example.

Virtual Meetings: We offer several virtual meetings in addition to the on-site events with our sponsor logos in the background and also discussed, broadcast live on Facebook and then on YouTube.
