Reel women fish. Fishin’ Chix is a first for the Pensacola area… a fishing club just for women. Ever fished? Never fished? All are welcome for fishing, fun, and friendship.
Fishin’ Chix started on the Gulf Coast when President and Founder, Claudia Espenscheid, had a fishing epiphany, after Ivan (Arlene, Dennis, Katrina, etc.) ruthlessly battered her Tiger Point neighborhood. Claudia realized, “All of us girls (think hurricane frazzled “Desperate Housewives”) were craving an escape from this madness…something far from MRE’s, FEMA trailers, piles of paperwork, or pantyhose.” And thus began the journey…over a year ago toward reeling in more in life.
Now the Fishin’ Chix meet monthly for fishing lessons with guide extraordinaire and Honorary Club Captain Wes Rozier, in-shore fishing regattas, fishing trips, Marine Patrol safety, cooking classes with renowned local chef, Jim Shirley.
Fishin’ Chix members enjoy fun monthly meetings, multiple in-shore and deep sea charter trips, and lessons and clinics to improve your knowledge & fishing skills and family fishing functions. Annual dues are only $50.00. Just visit their Membership page to get in on the fun.
