Beach, please. You know we are ready to fish!
On July 1-4, we will be traveling to Fort Walton Beach, Florida, to fish with Destin Inshore Charters. On July 2, we will be bow fishing. The clear waters and pristine estuary allow for incredible bow fishing. While bow fishing with Destin Inshore Charters, we hear that all of our shots will be in your face and full of action! Destin Inshore Charters specializes in Big Southern Stingrays and Cow Nose Rays, but they also target many other nongame species like Gar, Spadefish, Mullet, Black drum and Sheep head. On July 3, we will be inshore gulf fishing. We will experience targeting a wide verity of fish species while charter boat fishing in the Gulf of Mexico: Red Snappers, Groupers, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Blue Marlin, and Swordfish. |
Meet The Girls
Jessica Byers | Texas
I'm actually a little nervous about getting sea sick. If y'all have any tips, SEND THEM TO ME!
Although I’ve taken a few girlfriends out to shoot their first animal (always a hog), I don’t have a single close friend that hunts and/or goes fishing regularly, and I love girl time! I take time every couple of weeks to spend with just my girls, but it never crosses over into hunting or fishing. This trip will be a first for me!
Anna Dealattre Dickey | Pennsylvania
Anna has been deep sea fishing in Tulum, Mexico, and she's never been bowfishing, but she's extremely excited to try! She is a wonderful bow hunter, so I know she will adapt well.
Honestly I am most excited to spend time with you girls. Back in March I went to Nebraska snow goose hunting with 5 other amazing ladies, two of them were Lori & Jenna. It was such a great time hanging out with likeminded girls and building friendships that will last a lifetime. I know this trip will be the same and I am so excited to meet the girls who have supported me and inspire me in the outdoor community.
Everyone was laughing and making fun of me until I ended up catching 8 trout! None of the boys caught more than 3. That shut them up real quick. It was awesome!
Lori Lengle | Utah
There are so many things I am excited about! A new adventure, warm weather, and most of all meeting new friends who enjoy the outdoors as much as I do! Plus being on a boat is probably my favorite thing in the world. It will be a boatload of fun!
I’m both excited and nervous to go fling some arrows at fish for the first time. I have learned quickly that anything with a bow is both fun and addicting.
Jenna Taylor | Missouri Girl with Roots in Kentucky
Jenna has been deep sea fishing and she describes being out on the water as her kind of heaven. She says that deep sea fishing is certainly a blast, but what she loves most is being able to take most of the fish back to grill or cook for family or friends.
She is also not a novice when it comes to bow fishing; Jenna has been bow fishing for three years now, and she reveals that she immediately fell in love with it from the beginning. Jenna has competed in two bow fishing tournaments and is sponsored by Bass Pro Shops in the US Open Bowfishing Tournament on July 8-10 in Memphis, Tennessee.
When I had the chance to go out on the ocean and bowfish stingray and freshwater drum, I couldn't say no! This will be my second time bow fishing in the ocean and I can not wait for the girls to see just how fun it is!
My nickname was animal. I was always looking to explore and mess around in the outdoors. I can't wait to meet more women who truly love the same things that I do. Being able to share that same passion with others is the best part about hunting and fishing.
That's when I decided I wanted to compete and bowfish more. I am very competitive, and I believe that anyone can do anything as long as they practice and give it all they got!
Sydney Broadaway | Alabama
I've never been deep sea fishing or bowfishing, but I'm certainly up for a challenge. I'm thrilled to be able to experience something so special with a group of women that are truly supportive and inspiring. So even though it's a first-time experience, I'm not nervous because I know I've got the best support system on that boat with me.
As a fifth grader in elementary school, I didn't realize the battle I had signed up for when I cast my line. This was a battle very similar to David and Goliath. It seemed like I fought that fish for hours.
