Jones is WAM vice president and chair of the tournament this year. It's comfortable here. For most, it is not the tournament, but the camaraderie of other WAM members that binds them together, the look of excitement on a woman's face when she reels in a fish. We are just women who enjoy fishing. We are women who like to fish and we enjoy each other's company.
Some anglers are housewives.
Some are veterans. Others are mothers and daughters. Husbands don't participate but often come along. One member does not fish, but enjoys being on the water. She drives a boat for others and reads while they are fishing.
