PHOTO SHOOT tomorrow!

I am SO EXCITED we are finally getting to do another Pink Marlin photo shoot! In case you have not seen our video from our photo shoot last year here it is:


We all had a great time and I must say, we have some of the best models around ;) Jade and Ky will both be returning to do the photo shoot this time. Sarah is an incredibly busy young lady who is hard to pin down but we still love her! We had some amazing photos taken last time by an awesome photographer . We will miss her this time as well. This will be a great shoot and we will have a surprise visitor the girls don't know about yet.. We will be sure and post photos as we get them :)

Pink Marlin & Port Aransas

This coming Sunday (4/15/12) Dallas News will run a news article featuring Port Aransas, TX. In this article the freelance write June Naylor recalls her childhood memories of visiting Port A with her family and examines how it has changed and how it has stayed the same.

Pink Marlin is THRILLED to be mentioned as one of the shops in this article. And not only are we mentioned as one of the shops but we are also called a favorite! Click here to read the article. We especially appreciate the face that Ms. Naylor realizes the high quality of our t-shirts, as this is something we keep a priority when deciding on our orders.

Happy reading!

Busy... Busy... Busy...

It's not even summertime yet and already so much is happening! 


The planning for the Texas Women Anglers Tournament has begun. It was so amazing last year and I hope it goes just as well this year. We are in the process of picking out trophies for the tournament and let me tell you, they are going to be AWESOME! We finally got our new website for the tournament up and going. You can check it out here. Make plans to attend this tournament because it is always fun PLUS it supports a great cause. The Women's Shelter of Corpus Christi received $10,500.00 from our tournament last year! Thank you to all of our participants for this! 


Another new and exciting thing has happened since the last time I posted. I am now the Treasurer of the Corpus Christi Big Game Fishing Club or CCBGFC for short. (I think I have finally learned how to say that as fast as the other members!) This is another great thing to take part in if you aren't already! The CCBGFC puts on 10 tournaments during the fishing season, some are concurrent with other major tournaments and some are stand alone tournaments. At the end of the year the club host their annual awards banquet. We have lots of new ideas and exciting things that will be happening with the club this year so you don't want to miss out on this either! You can visit their website here. Pink Marlin is a trophy sponsor for the club (I believe we sponsored the first place boat last year). We are always looking for new sponsors and it is a great cause that is local (which is really nice!). If you know of anyone that might be interested in sponsoring or joining the club send them our way. :)


I have finally updated the tournament schedule on Pink Marlin's website. Click here to check out the tournaments I have listed for the upcoming year. I am still working on the tournaments outside of Texas but those will follow shortly. I can't wait for all the tournaments this year! It is going to be an awesome year of fishing and fun and I hope you all will join me! 


Fish on,

Grand Opening Preview

It's Almost Here!!!
March 10th - Our Grand Opening

When I made the decision to open an actual store for Pink Marlin I had so many people ask me if I thought there was a market for women's fishing apparel. HELLO?!?! Have you seen the women kicking butt in the fishing industry!?! Obviously it's not as huge as the market for men's fishing apparel, but it does exists. All these comments made me that much more ready to open the store. See I know there are women like me out there that love fishing and are always looking for women's fishing apparel. It's so hard to find! What do I hope to accomplish by opening my store? Well, I want to promote women anglers and women fishing in the industry. I want to team up with other businesses and people that share the same interest as me. I think this is a great industry and I believe us women can become very dominant in it. It's not about women's rights issues or anything like that. It's about women who love to fish plain and simple!  So you see, my goal behind Pink Marlin is not to just be another clothing store. But to be a dominant face in the fishing industry. I want Pink Marlin to not only be about women's fishing apparel but also about promoting the women who wear the clothes. I want to create a presence for women all over who fish. I want to share their stories on my website and their photos (http://www.mypinkmarlin.com/photos_stories.cfm) I want to write articles that interest women in the fishing industry, and most of all I want to get more women involved!!! And that is why I am so excited about my GRAND OPENING of Pink Marlin in Port Aransas, TX. I hope to meet a lot of women who share my same passion and promote the women's fishing industry!

Pink Marlin & More Retail Store Coming Soon!



That's right! We have decided to open a physical store! Pink Marlin & More will be a store just for women who enjoy the outdoors. Sounds amazing right?! 


Where to find us? In Port Aransas next to Pelican's Landing on N. Alister Street


When will we open? MARCH 10TH ~ Save the Date it will be a fun Grand Opening! 


What will you find in Pink Marlin & More? When you walk in you can expect to see fishing clothing, fishing women, and anything else that has to do with the deep blue sea and us women! 


The beauty of opening a store is that we are able to expand our product line and carry other products that we love as well! Just to name a few...you can expect to see the awesome product line Rowdy Maui (a local business we love) and Piscavore Sportswear (a Texas based company with amazing fishing shirts)! 


Pink Marlin & More's new direction is all about Women's fishing apparel and activewear. Yep, activewear! Yoga pants, sport shirts, etc. Our goal is to be the 'go to' store for women's outdoor wear!
