3…2…1…Here Goes Nothing!

Well, the time has come! We are live and ready to start taking bookings for the 2024 open water season! Never in my wildest dreams would I think that I would be here, doing this. Then again, I never thought I would fish a bass tournament. Or have my own boat. Or become a USCG captain. But here I am. Here we are.

I saw a post the other day from Simon Sinek, who is a well-known speaker on business leadership. It said “If you have the opportunity to do amazing things in your life, bring someone with you.” This quote gets at the heart of what Deep Bucket is all about. We want to do amazing things with you – we want to experience the excitement and joy of angling through the eyes of our clients. And we want to bring you the best experience possible.

We hope you’ll join us on this adventure. We have so much to share, and we hope to share it with as many people as possible. I am at a time where I am trying to find my place in the fishing world. Having done tournaments and multi-day fishing clinics for women, it is time for me to move into a new role. This feels right. It will be a ton of work, but the juice will be worth the squeeze.

I could not do this alone. I did not get here alone. Along my journey I have had so many cheerleaders, mentors, friends, without whom, I would have never taken the leaps that I have. A special thank you to my Uncle Larry, who simply took me fishing. Those summer days in the canoe were some of my favorite, and those are the memories I will always treasure. That’s where my passion for bassin’ started…in an old red canoe.

And a big thank you and welcome to the three ring circus to my husband. I couldn’t have been blessed with anyone better to be my partner on this adventure. I am so lucky.
