Professional Angler:

Fishing the BASS WBT, Headturners3 Tour and Guiding on Lake Okeechobee

 

 

Angie Douthit's Sponsors:

 

Angie Douthit entered the realm of professional fishing and quickly learned that you would need major sponsorship if you were to succeed in the sport. Fishing a professional bass tour costs lots of money in travel expense, equipment and entry fees.

 

By working hard to promote the products she was using and had confidence in, she became noticed by the manufactures as someone that could help them bring product to the many anglers around the country.

 

Angie realized that as a new angler on the professional tour, she would have to work hard to be noticed. Just winning tournaments would not produce sponsorship. She has now became a fixture at major sport shows and outdoor events.

 

Outdoor writers have found the attractive angler more than willing to help them develop material and photos for their work. This has resulted in her appearing in many publications and television shows, bringing her sponsors valuable exposure.

 

Angie loves the sport of bass fishing and even more, loves to help others to learn how much fun it can be. Her ability and willingness to teach others has produced a profitable guide service that fills most days she isn't on tour or making an appearance. Whether you wish to try your luck with artificial lures or the proven method using wild gold shiners, Angie will see to it that you have a super great day on the water.

 

Her sponsors include  Mercury Marine, Bass Pro Shops, Triline ,MegaStrike fish attractant, Real Magic Tampa-based Bob's Machine Shop and Gene Larew Tackle, Rapala.

BASS Reporter's Notebook: With A Little Help from Her Friends, Angie
Douthit Makes it to This Week's Historic WBT Championship in Arkansas
 
 Angie Douthit, a Women's Bassmaster Tour presented by Academy Sports &
Outdoors pro from Clewiston, Fla., likely would not be one of the 20
pros in this week's Women's Bassmaster Tour Championship presented by
Academy Sports & Outdoors in Hot Springs, Ark., if not for an unusual
sponsor.
"Actually, it's a person I've never met," Douthit said of her good
Samaritan. "His name is Doug Chapman, and he's from Odessa, Texas. He's
a friend of Debra Hengst, who fishes the WBT trail too. She made a phone
call to Doug to see if he'd help me out (with expenses) before the Old
Hickory event in June. He did, and then he helped me at Clarks Hill and
with the Championship.
"He did it because he has a very good job, but can't get off to fish
much, and he wanted to support me because I'm so enthusiastic about bass
fishing. He's just glad to help out."
Two friends have opened their homes to Douthit, who earned her first
Championship berth by finishing in seventh place in the Toyota Tundra
WBT Angler of the Year points race.
Fellow WBT pro Sharon Rushton invited Douthit to her Missouri home so
Douthit wouldn't have to travel back to Florida between the Oct. 12
cutoff, after which competition waters are off-limits, and the start of
the championship. Then Bobby and Sylvia Murray invited Douthit and her
husband, Chet, to stay at their Hot Springs home during the event. Bobby
Murray holds the title to the first Bassmaster Classic, in 1971, and
will attend the WBT Championship. More on Murray's presence at the WBT
Championship can be found below.
Douthit likes her chances to win the Oct. 23-25 championship on Lake
Hamilton. She said during practice she found a largemouth bite, a key to
a bigger limit on Lake Hamilton, known for its spotted bass.
"I caught some nice fish in practice," she said. "They were good-sized
keepers. I practiced up until the cutoff, as most of us did, but now
temperatures are getting colder in the evenings, and that's going to
change the pattern that worked before the cutoff. I practiced for both
patterns.
"I feel really good about my chances."
