Betty Bauman

Betty Bauman

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

"Woman of the Year" in Sportfishing, "Top 21 Most Influential Marine Industry Leaders in the 21st Century," and one of "The Top Women in American Boatin

When Betty Bauman, founder and CEO of Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing! (www.ladiesletsgofishing.com), started fishing as a child with only a tree branch as a fishing pole, little did she know this was the beginning of a career. The knowledge and skills she has acquired over the years, together with her passion for the sport and for conservation, have empowered her to bring the sport of fishing to more than 5,000 women all over the world through her award-winning seminars. Both Bauman and her seminar series -- often dubbed "The No-Yelling School of Fishing" -- are renowned nationally. Her accolades encompass the sportfishing, boating and marine industries.

Most recently, BoatU.S. magazine named Bauman one of “The Top Women in American Boating.” She was prominently featured in the May 2009 issue which celebrated eleven of the most impressive and inspiring women who are setting the trend for female boaters. Other awards include being named Woman of the Year in the nation’s sportfishing industry by the American Sportfishing Association. This award was presented to her in Washington, D.C., at a reception held for industry leaders and Congressional representatives.

Recognizing her foresight in addressing the women's market for the marine industry, Bauman was named among the Top 21 Most Influential Marine Industry Leaders in the 21st Century by Boating Industry magazine. As a result of her “Ladies Let’s Go Fishing!” Adventure Trips, The Cove Lodge in Elfin Cove, Alaska named her "Sportsperson of the Year."

I attended the Naples 2009 weekend seminar and, no pun intended, I have been hooked ever since. I am grateful to Betty for the opportunity to learn how to fish in a friendly and encouraging environment. My husband and I now regularly go fishing throughout the year, whether it is inshore, deep drop, and pelagic fishing or inland lake and stream fishing. Our vacations are now centered around fishing in places like Hawaii, Mexico, California, Alabama, or Florida. I have joined a local fishing club in Arizona and am currently learning how to build my own rods and tie flies. Fishing is a healthy way to recreate. It teaches us how to be in balance with nature.

Well, cow heart is pretty tasty! But I never much appreciated pig brains, which are a hot commodity in Germany. Or were, back when I was but a humble lieutenant. Mayhaps their tastes have changed? Probably not. lyj
