Naomi,<br>I have to say my peace on this subject! You have some good points and some anglers may disagree,But I feel that an angler is an angler, period. Gender has no berring in the facts. It was my mother that gave me my first pole and taught me how to use it. It was not my father as every one would expect. There might be different physical requirements for different genders. but the same goes for diffrent Phyzike. IE: Higth and weight. there are men that are under 5' and men over 300lb. What point I am trying to make is that only physical and mental conditions affect an anglers abuility to perform the art of fishing. So the next time you run in to one of thoes coments, don't walk away. Take them on with a chalange at fishing. You got all you need to show them that gender has no berring of the ability to fish. I made a post on the art of fishing last month. Any one that applys the three steps in that post can do nothing but grow in every thing they do. <br>Again the mind and physical condition of someone is the only thing that controls ability, not gender.<br><br>Texas Gulf Coast Fisher<br><A HREF="http://"http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/ROSS6959"" target="_new">http://"http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/ROSS6959"</A>
