How fun it has been to read the entertaining comments made by like minded fisher people! I’ll have to admit that after years of being a die hard walleye enthusiast…. using jigs and minnows, back-trolling with Lindy Rigs, long-lining shad raps, etc. that it has been quite a world changer to start fishing bass. Most recently was fishing on lake Minnewashta during a MVIF outing with good friend, Jack Naylor. He set me up with a Scum Frog and gave me a quick tutorial. After a dozen casts and jump, jump, jump, sit…. the water exploded! BAM, WOOSH… Holy Cow! What an adrenaline rush! Well, needless to say “I was hooked”… I stopped by [censored] this afternoon and bought a few Scum Frogs.

A couple of additional comments I would like to make are:
1) what a great web site IDO is… it is convenient to be able access so much information in one place and a great way to learn from and connect with other anglers. I’ve really enjoyed reading posts on the forums, looking at the classifieds, etc. I shall return!
2) Two years ago some of my fishing friends encouraged me to join the Minnesota Valley In-Fisherman. How many women do you think were in the club when I joined? zero
It has turned out to be a highlight of the last two years. Everyone has been welcoming, helpful, and from the very beginning my gender was a non- issue, I felt quickly respected as a passionate fisherwoman and a student of structure fishing and scientific angling.

If you are looking for other fish crazy enthusiasts and awesome friends then you should check out MVIF (Minnesota Valley In-Fisherman)!

Good luck fishing everyone!
