Up Your Game - Game Fishing Workshop for Women

Up Your Game is a relaxed, practical workshop for women who want to understand more about game fishing and take a more active role on board.

Whether you're new to game fishing or you've already got a marlin or two under your belt, come and join us for an evening of demonstrations, hands-on activities and the chance to have a go with no pressure.

We’ll cover:

• Finding gamefish

• Getting your gear ready

• Choosing and setting lures

• Rigging a lure

• Fighting & landing big fish

There’ll be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, meet other women who love fishing and practise skills you can take back to the boat. You don’t need your own gear or previous game fishing experience.

Your ticket includes a take-home resource booklet, demonstration gear and materials for the practical exercises and entry into spot prize draws.

Your host:

Helen Horrocks from She's Got Game is a commercial skipper and RYA Powerboat Instructor with over 20 years of skippering and fishing experience. She helps women build practical skills and take a more active role on the water.

When and where:

Tuesday 8 December · 6.00pm - 8.30pm

Food & drink:
