This week I'm excited to introduce you to someone who only started fishing in the last couple years, but she's all in. @fancypantsfishing is her Facebook and Instagram handle (go give her a follow!). Her actual name is Kat Jones, and I was thrilled to have the chance to meet her in-person while we were down at Logan Martin for the LBAA Classic.

Welcome to Episode 201 of The Woman Angler & Adventurer Podcast! We're moving on to another epic 200 episodes! I can't think of a better way to kick things off than with my special guest this week, Becky Iaconelli!

Welcome to a milestone! The 200th episode of The Woman Angler & Adventurer podcast. Since this show launched back in 2018, we've had only a few West Coast anglers on the show- not nearly enough. So I can't think of a better way to celebrate our 200th episode with another West Cost angler- Clara Ricabal!

This week meet a TakeMeFishing.org Women Making Waves WaveMaker Nicole Jacobs. Nicole's main mission is to promote equity and inclusion in the world of bass fishing. She executes her mission very well despite juggling fishing some big pro bass tournaments, being a single mom, and going to grad school!

The truth is, if you're a bass angler, you probably already have this app on your phone, and if you don't, well, you'll definitely be downloading it after listening to this episode.

BREAKING NEWS: (8-13-21) "Jennifer Schall landed a massive 132-pound alligator gar in the 50-pound test class, which if approved, would be one of the largest freshwater fish records ever recorded by a female angler." -Field & Stream

I recently had the opportunity to do a tour of the St. Croix Rods headquarters in Park Falls, WI. I have to say, if you're into fishing and you ever have the opportunity to do this free tour, I highly recommend you do it! The manufacturing process of a fishing rod is unbelievable. At St. Croix, they even make their own blanks, and to able to witness that process alone is phenomenal.

On this week's episode, my special guest is BeBe Harrison and we have a lot to chat about!

Last week was iCast week down in Orlando, FL. Many of us have been chomping at the bit to get back to business, see new products, network with new friends as well as get reconnected in person with some old ones. Before the big week officially kicked off, Captain Debbie Hanson, Gabriella MaGrath and myself has a little Women Making Waves breakout session to go visit a local waterway outside of Orlando. Captain Debbie got the inside scoop from one of her friends (Jim Sweatman) who works for the Fl...

We had such a fantastic time fishing with Captain Mark Cahlik with Mark1 Sportfishing and Bays Edge Resort up on Lake Erie out of Port Clinton, OH a few weeks ago that he invited us back up to have a go at smallmouth bass this time around. What a treat that was! These smallmouth on Lake Erie are no joke. We caught a bunch of chunks that meant business and we had an absolute ball! The same crew got back together- Brittany Howard, Tiffany Minton, myself, and Dana Scott. We all caught a bunch of fi...

I had the opportunity this week to catch up with Gail Kulp from the Sea Tow Foundation to get the scoop on some updates going on there with their two big programs- The Life Jacket Loaner Program as well as the Sober Skipper Program. We also talked about the new federal kill switch law in effect. We also covered the National Boating Industry Safety Awards as well as a new program they're working on regarding flare disposal. All exciting topics on this week's episode of the show! Anyone interested...

Those that follow this podcast also know I do a weekly Monday Night Live Series called The Women's World of Fishing Monday Night Takeover on YouTube and other social media platforms with fellow angler Barbara Harris. This series has been a lot of fun and informative for anglers of all skill levels. Recently, we were super fortunate to be able to feature on of the winningest female pro bass anglers of all-time, Pam Martin-Wells. To wrap up The Cane River Series of episodes I want to highlight thi...

On this week's episode of the show, I have the opportunity to feature one of the most respected anglers that fishes the Women's Pro Bass Tour, Lady Bass Anglers Association Tournament Trail: Alisa Johnson. Alisa has been fishing with the LBAA for 9 years now. She started out at the back of the boat and got to fish with a lot of the Pros that she now competes against as a boater. She learned a lot from these ladies over the years and it's evident that she's putting the knowledge she gained to gre...

It was a hot and humid grind, but we all survived and I'm bringing you a quick recap of my experience on this week's episode! I also had a couple conversations from backstage during weight-in on Day 2 with a couple other anglers, Noella Mclaurin and Shannon Wells to share a little bit about their experience. While it didn't end well at all for me, I am happy to say I earned enough AOY points throughout the season to qualify to fish The Classic on Logan Martin in September! That was one of my maj...

How is it June already and this is the 1st time we've had the opportunity to take the Lance Truck Camper Mobile Podcast Studio AND the Key West 230 Bay Reef to a Women's Pro Bass Tour Tournament? We've been building and building for this moment since last fall and the time has FINALLY come. Just in time for the Wildcard Tournament on Cane River in Natchitoches, LA. This is the final event of the year before the Fall Classic on Logan Martin in Alabama...will I qualify? To put it out into the Univ...

This week I'm excited to welcome Brittany Howard back to the podcast almost 50 episodes later (if you missed the last one, check it out here!) This time we took a trip up to Lake Erie to cast for walleye with Captain Mark Cahlik from Mark1 Sportfishing in Port Clinton, OH. We stayed at the beautiful Bays Edge Resort where I stayed when I came up for a girls trolling trip in the fall. The accommodations were great as usual. We brought a couple other ladies along and we all had a blast...so much f...

Annie Klaver took a leap of faith after being burned out working on Music Row. The outdoors and water were calling her name. She took to kayaking on the river and that ignited the passion in her to help others have the experience as well, so she started River Queen Voyages with a kayak, a church van and a trailer. From there it has grown into River Queen Adventures, now offering several different trip options and a Pedal Pontoon! Hear all about her story on this week's episode. This is Take 2 of...

This week I'm excited to introduce you to Captain Lisa Kay Crossen who runs charters out of Louisiana. This is the first time I've featured a Louisiana angler on the show and it was a real treat! The fishing she has access to down there sounds phenomenal and a multitude of species can be caught on a single trip. We talk about that as well as some special experiences Capt. Lisa has had in her time as a captain thus far such as recently putting a Retired Navy Vet on her biggest fish ever! Capt. Li...

On this week's episode it is my pleasure to feature Charter Captain and avid Overland Camping Adventurer, Tampa Fly Girl Capt. Alissa Vinoski! Alissa guides fishing trips out of the Tampa, FL area and she's got a super sweet set up with her Beavertail Skiff outfitted with a custom painted Yamaha VMAX SHO. Her overland camping setup is super sweet too...she even has a shower! Can't wait for you to hear all about it. I love chatting with ladies like Alissa who aren't afraid to get out there and ex...

Here's a recap of my 2nd experience being a boater on the Women's Pro Bass Tour Tournament Trail, This time on Lake Hickory in Hickory, NC...a brand new body of water for me...and still a brand new boat, Working all the kinks out.

Lance Camper Key West Boats Freedom Boat Club Nashville The Boat Loc...

On this week's episode, we're introducing you to a new video series from Yamaha designed to give novice boaters some basic boating tips along with an emphasis on boating safety. The series is hosted by none other than my special guest this week, Youtuber, Tyler Anderson from TylersReelFishing. As women interested in fishing and boating, owning and commanding your own boat can be one of the most intimidating steps to taking your outdoor endeavors to the next level. That's why manufacturers taking...

This week I'm excited to introduce you Angie Thompson! Angie has had a long career in the fishing industry working with companies like ESPN Outdoors and B.A.S.S. She's been a mentor to many pro anglers and over the years she has gained a lot of knowledge about the fishing business. With that, she started a podcast all about the ins and outs of the fishing business and a fishing business school to help young anglers learn the steps they need to take to grow and market their brand and attract spon...

This week I am honored to welcome Florida Keys Charter Captain Deb Deyo to the show! I've been following Captain Deb's journey on social media for a while now and she is doing amazing things down in The Keys with her new charter business. I know it had to take a lot of hard work and dedication for her to make this dream happen, so I had a hunch that featuring her on the show would be a major inspiration for a lot of ladies out there. After speaking with her, I have no doubt my hunch was spot on!...

This week I'm happy to welcome fellow Stealth Rod Holders Field Team Member Erica DeLana to the podcast! Erica is a versatile angler, she loves kayak fishing just as much as fishing from a boat.
