Fab day, thank you to Carole-Ann Osborne at the Seafood Training Centre

Seafood Training Centre North Shields opened their doors on Friday to the winners of their “fishey quote” competition. The competition organized by the centre’s manager Carole-Ann Osborne to encourage ladies to take part in fishing and filleting during International Women’s month. Three ladies joined her team of senior instructors to learn the fine art of fish filleting for their own personal use. Demonstrations with one to one tuition including key filleting techniques for plaice, whiting, salmon, haddock, monk fish etc was enjoyed by all the ladies. All ladies attending were keen fisherwomen from sea fishing, beach casting to game fishing for salmon and trout.

The Sea fishing Industry is the most dangerous industry next to the building industry in this country for fatalities which is why fisher mans safety training is now so heavily regulated, and why STC offer this course at the centre. In the UK fishing supports either directly or indirectly the jobs of over 86,000 people in the UK, many of these jobs carried out in rural economies.

Reel Sassy Ladies

Hi ladies

as you all know i’m someone who promotes women in fishing and people/companies who make ladies fishing clothing. Vicky maybe we should start a ladies clothing range do you think Ian would like pink in the shop!

Reel Sassy is owned and run by two young ladies out of the Stuart area, Kimberlee Ewing and Kristy Levin. I talked to them for a minute and they seemed to have it all together. The company is fresh and innovative; a clothing line developed by women, for women. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t seen a business around that’s solely dedicated to women’s fishing apparel that actually looks good and stylish, something that many women will actually wear. My wife and daughter loved their line, I may order some shirts for their upcoming birthdays. Reel Sassy has a pretty extensive line of clothes and accessories from tank tops to microfiber shirts, hoodies and hats to name a few. Check them out at reelsassy.com.
