I don't have any problems with woman that fish at all!!! More power to those that do. Woman a lot of times make better fishers anyways because they don't have pre-concieved notions of what works and doesn't work, when you give them advise they listen. In fact, I've been looking for a chick that likes fishing for a long time! So if your young, single, good look'n,and want to swim a steely or two, just drop me a line and we'll hook-up! Hey, just my $.02
