Comments from Ladies Gulf Coast Seminar
From Cheryl Manay: What a fantastic weekend this was!! I'm so happy I was able to attend..total novice here!! The lectures and skills labs were great, everything is new to me so appreciated the lecturers sharing their experience and infinite patience. I haven't bitten a head off a shrimp yet.(ty Captain Barry!).but what a great boat day! My first fish since I was 6, a catfish and I was still thrilled! My team of ladies were intelligent adventurers improving and learning with such laughter and camaraderie, a blessed day of new friends and experiences. .ty!!!!
