My name is Marcia Rubin. I live in Chagrin Falls, OH and I am fishing professionally in the Women's Bassmaster Tour.
I'm out on the water just about every day, perfecting my skills. And NOPE...In case you were wondering...Fishing is not about "luck"...there is much skill involved :-) And like they say..."Practice DOES make Perfect"
So if you're ever driving down the road and see a petite lady pulling a 21 foot Ranger behind a Big Black Toyota Tundra...that would most likely be me :-)
I've just concluded my Rookie year of Professional Bass Fishing with the Women's Bassmaster Tour, and proud to say that I was able to cash TWO checks along the way, and ended up in the TOP TWENTY for Angler Of The Year!
Fishing the 2006 Women's Tour enabled me to fish some of the nations most beautiful lakes. We fished Lewisville Lake (Texas), Neely Henry (Alabama), Lake Norman (North Carolina), Dardanelle (Arkansas), and Bull Shoals (Missouri) I'd say that Dardanelle was probably my favorite lake to fish, although the results didn't show it!
I have made some very close friends while fishing the Tour. I still find myself amazed that I can actually sit down and talk "Fish Talk" with other ladies who are just like me! Nope, we don't sit around talking about "shopping", or "who does your hair"...lol We much prefer to talk about "Drop shotting, Texas Rigging, Split Shot rig, lure modification, gear ratios, "the one that got away" stories, patterning fish," etc. Could you even imagine being surrounded by 200 ladies that can "talk the talk??" I never could either, which is why I would find myself in complete awe every time these "deep" fishing conversations would occur. These ladies are all SO awesome, and they each of such a unique story to tell.
During tournament season, I spend a lot of time out on the road. If you notice that things have been quiet around here for a couple of weeks, then you can assume that I am out of town fishing a tournament, or doing promotional work for my sponsors. Sometimes I have internet connection where I am staying, and other times I don't. But, even if I do have internet, my amount of time online is very limited because I am crazy busy preparing for my tournament, and spending sometimes up to 15 hours out on the water a day.
