I married a man that I used to fish against in tournaments. We fished in the same club since about 1999. For years, we only spoke to each other in passing. Finally, I emailed him in June 2004. We ended up going fishing together. We got the boat stuck on in a cove and had to sit there for about 3 hours and wait for the tide to finish going out, then <IMG SRC="20d8bb90.jpg" border=0 width="139" height="185" ALT=" Christiana and Mike Bradley WeddingBass ice sculpture" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">come back in enough to pry ourselves out.

I have a gift, you can say, for Camo painting...anything from trucks to boats to 4 wheelers. It is now more a Hobby, as fishing is first in line. Guys would see something I painted, pull in or call and ask my husband how much he charged, he would laugh and say, “I don't know, you will have to talk to my wife.” Everything that I came in contact with received a camo paint job including some things such as my husbands ice chest.  He started hiding his belongings to avoid my ambitious painting goals! I am a country girl and I live deep in the woods. Last year I killed my first deer. On my next trip out, I killed 2 deer with one shot. So, in addition to fishing, I would have to say I am officially hooked on deer hunting too. </div> <div>  </div> <div>  <IMG SRC="2222adf0.jpg" border=0 width="298" height="223" ALT="Sammie Jo Denyes'" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="15d19df0.jpg" border=0 width="281" height="223" ALT="Sammie Jo Denyes'" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>Sammie Joe Denyes' at Bass Pro Shops</B></div> <div> <B> in Destin Florida promoting the WBT</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="2ac6e4a0.png" border=0 width="110" height="74" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Name: Beverly Dickson<IMG SRC="997a9db0.jpg" border=0 width="169" height="219" ALT="Beverly Dickson" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Hometown:</B> Little Rock, AR</div> <bR> <div> <B>Occupation:</B> Spanish Interpreter, Landlord, Retired RN</div> <bR> <div> <B>Family:</B> Twins, Nikki & Mandy, 16 years old, adopted from Honduras as infants</div> <bR> <div> <B>Years fishing:</B> Since a toddler</div> <bR> <div> <B>Fishing mentor:</B> My father, who is deceased</div> <bR> <div> <B>Angler(s) you admire:</B> Tammy Richardson, Kathi Hurst</div> <bR> <div> <B>Your status:</B> Am</div> <bR> <div> <B>Sponsors:</B> Kick'n Bass; Berkley; Adoption Advantage; Spanish Interpreters and Translators</div> <bR> <div> <B>Tours that you fish:</B> WBT</div> <bR> <div> <B>Notable fishing achievements</B>: Fished the inaugural WBT event at Lake Lewisville, as the first tournament I'd ever attended, even as an observer.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Membership in fishing clubs:</B> Lake Dardanelle Lady Anglers</div> <bR> <div> <B>Favorite Fishing Spot:</B> Wade's Lake, in northeast Arkansas (no one knows where it is, or can get to it, since it has to be accessed over private property, so the fish are always hungry)</div> <bR> <div> <B>Favorite Fishing Technique:</B> I'm still learning, but I think the wacky worm, Texas-rigging, and top-water frogs. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Hobbies:</B> Fishing (Duh!), reading, writing, word games, gardening, sewing, repairs (as a single parent and landlord, I fix everything from bicycles, small motors, CD players, appliances, etc., and enjoy it), short-term medical/surgical foreign mission trips, family card games.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Favorite food:</B> Frog legs (yes, for real!), cheesecake, shrimp, CHOCOLATE!!</div> <bR> <div> <B>Favorite vacation spot:</B> Bay Islands (off Honduras)</div> <bR> <div> <B>Something people don't know about me:</B>  I almost croaked from heart failure while climbing Cody's Peak in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (10,000 feet, 30 degree weather)in 2005.  I actually only climbed the last 2000 feet, but it felt like the entire 10,000!!  I seriously considered having them call a helicopter to rescue me.

My Husband also enlarged my family with his two Sons, Lenny and my Granddaughter Jolene and youngest Son Chris and Granddaughter's Crystal and Alyssa.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Years Fishing</B>:  I lost my real Dad when I was 13 years old however, I have a picture of him & me sitting at the lake with my ball cap, hair in pigtails fishing pole in hand.  I was maybe 4 years old!  Bass fishing since 1995.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Fishing mentor</B>: Guess my parents hold the top spot. Now and especially in regard to the Bass bug, it would have to be my husband and my fellow lady angler club members.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Anglers Admired:</B> I'm one of those crazy ones who are in awe of “IKE”! I love the guy.  His enthusiasm for the sport is truly out there and the truth be known, we're probably all a little like “IKE” when we're out on the lake and miss a big one or better yet, CATCH A BIG ONE!  I admire all the anglers who are out there giving it there all. It's not a profession that was taken lightly when Pro-anglers decide to make the plunge.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Status:</B> I like so many of the ladies would love nothing more than to be fishing on the Pro side.  However, after spending a couple of years off work to raise my Step-sons daughter while he served in the Navy as well as being available to help with my Mom's cancer and her death money became a big factor to overcome.  Slowly but surely things are improving and I hope to start attending WBT as a Pro.  I know good things will come once I secure a “BIG WIN” and can pick up some sponsorships!  I fished the preview in Lewisville and drew a check.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="5b3e8ed0.jpg" border=0 width="232" height="237" ALT="Dona nd Sandy Jeane" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>Sponsors:</B> Besides my husband, my brother-in-law has helped with expenses, RJ Construction, a previous club member owns Cross Timbers Rods and has given me my most favorite winning rod and Sandi Karnes and husband Sam with Niceboats.com has furnished my shirts!  My favorite sponsor is Kick'N Bass.  Ken has helped many of us ladies with our scents and has been a BIG factor in my success.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Achievements</B>: Qualified for 3 Bass'N Gals Top 4 events, 3 WBFA Top 4's in which our club won two.  In 2005 I earned a berth in the WBFA World Classic, unfortunately that didn't take place.  I also qualified for two B.A.S.S. Federation Top 6's.  Our club came in 6th in the State of Texas the very first year.  The second year, as an individual I finished in 36th place out of a field of over 300 mainly men.  Our club was the ONLY all LADIES team to ever compete in the Federation Top 6's. Also had several different Big Bass wins as well as placing in Team events that are known in Texas.  I've very proud of my husband and I winning this years CAST (COUPLES ASSOCIATION OF SPORTS TOURNMENT) ANGLERS of the YEAR!</div> <bR> <div> <B>Clubs</B>: LAKE AREA LADY ANGLERS (LALA's), WBT, and CAST.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Favorite fishing spot:</B>  Toledo Bend.  I also enjoy ANY body of water where there's a chance to catch a BASS!</div> <bR> <div> <B>Favorite Technique:</B>  My nickname is:  SENKO SANDY!</div> <bR> <div> <B>Hobbies:</B>  Fishing and hunting.  Thought about getting back into barrel racing but don't have enough time to do it all.  Turkey hunting is by far my favorite hunting activity!</div> <bR> <div> <B>Favorite Vacation spot:</B>  NEVER had a real vacation or Honeymoon! Love the hunting and fishing trips when we get to go.  Dream vacation is Florida and Mexico for BIG BASS and to see Alaska before I get to old to enjoy.</div> <bR> <div> <B>What people don't know about me:</B>  I talk too much! LOL. I'm crazy about animals.  My hubby has to keep me in check or we'd be more overrun than we are now.  Case in point how many people save a baby opossum that was barely alive after its Mom was hit or cry when the pet rat, yes, rat died?  My poor Daughters have also been cursed with this disease!              </div> <div> _________________________________________________________________________________</div> <div> <B> <A NAME="k"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>K</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="13c64420.png" border=0 width="100" height="66" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Name: Robin Kolton</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Hometown:</B>  Elgin, Texas <IMG SRC="94b9db70.jpg" border=0 width="157" height="183" ALT="Robin Kolton" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>Occupation:</B> Auditor – Texas Parks & Wildlife, Pro Angler</div> <bR> <div> <B>Family:</B> Husband Steve, four adult children and six grandchildren   </div> <bR> <div> <B>Years fishing</B>: 18</div> <bR> <div> <B>Fishing mentor:</B> I am lucky, I have two mentors.
