Betty Bauman founded “Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing!®,” utilizing her prior marketing skills from experience at Donzi, Wellcraft and Aquasport to create an organization whose mission is to recruit, retain and reactivate anglers. This has empowered her to bring the sport of fishing to more than 9,000 women in 26 years from all over the world through her award-winning seminars.

 

Often dubbed “The No-Yelling School of Fishing,” Bauman and Ladies, Let’s Go Fishing have been renowned nationally and honored with awards such as The Top Women in American Boating by BoatU.S. Magazine, Woman of the Year in the nation’s sportfishing industry by the American Sportfishing Association, Top 21 Most Influential Marine Industry Leaders in the 21st Century by Boating Industry Magazine and more.
