Join Us in Decatur on June 15 for the BasmastHER Workshop at the Wheeler Lake Elite Tournament
Bass fishing has long been a sport dominated by men, but that's changing thanks to initiatives like BasmastHER. This summer, Decatur Morgan County Tourism is proud to host the Bassmaster Elite Tournament on Wheeler Lake, featuring a special BasmastHER Women's Initiative workshop. Scheduled for June 15, this event aims to encourage and empower women in the world of bass fishing, providing them with the skills and support needed to excel in the sport.
Why BasmastHER?
The BasmastHER Women's Initiative is more than just a series of workshops; it's a movement designed to break down barriers and foster a supportive community for women anglers. Historically, women have faced numerous challenges in gaining recognition and respect in the fishing world. BasmastHER seeks to address these issues by offering targeted education, networking opportunities, and mentorship.
