WAIT – Women Anglers In Training

Ladies-Only Fishing Seminar to be Held at Oak Island

For you ladies who want to learn more about saltwater fishing and don't want to be bothered by your husband or boyfriend, the Oak Island Parks and Recreation Department have just the thing.  The Women Anglers in Training Program, or WAIT for short, is a two day fishing seminar, May 1^st and 2nd, just for the ladies. 

The WAIT is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, at Oak Island. Saturday will be a day of hands-on classroom instruction at the Oak Island Recreation Department and Sunday will be a fishing excursion to Oak Island Pier or out with a local captain for practicing Saturday's lessons and some on-the-job experience. 

The sessions on Saturday will include beginner and advanced topics such as:  Introduction to Tackle, Terms, and Technology, Basic Knots, Flounder Fishing, Speckled Trout Fishing, Red Drum Fishing, Surf Fishing, Nearshore Trolling, Live Bait Slow Trolling, Throwing Cast Nets, and much more!

Some serious fishermen and fisherwomen have agreed to share their vast knowledge during the weekend.  The instructors will be led by Oak Island resident, Capt. Jerry Dilsaver, who is the 2001 SKA National Champion, 1998 USAA Angler of the Year, plus a Staff Writer at North Carolina Sportsman Magazine.  Capt. Vanessa Martin, of Nauti Girls Charter in Oak Island, is one of the few licensed female guide in the area and  very few statewide.  And many more super informative captains!

 There are two WAIT options:

Option One—$49.00

Day of instruction and day of fun at Oak Island Pier.

Option Two—$109.00

Day of instruction and fishing trip with local captain. Spaces are very limited.  

Both options include lunch both days, participant goodie bag, and drawing for many door prizes.
