This year's Treasure Coast award winning "Ladies, Let's Go Fishing!"® University falls on Mother's Day weekend, May 10-12, 2013 in Stuart, FL. The perfect Mother's day gift for aspiring lady anglers, this experience offers quality time where mothers and daughters can learn, share and have fun fishing together. Held in conjunction with support from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), the weekend event offers educational fishing activities, networking and an optional charter fishing trip, with events held at Pirates Cove Resort & Marina.

The University events kick off with the Harbor Financial networking happy hour at Pirates Cove on Friday evening, May 10, from 6-8 pm.

"This is a unique opportunity where women can spend quality time together without having to cook or clean," commented Founder, Betty Bauman.
