Founder
Meet Suzy Nichols, J.D., M.H.L

Suzy was born in New York where she began fishing at the age of four years old as her daddy's fishing buddy. She crabbed, clammed, and fished primarily for the flat crazy eyed-fluke fish. Suzy made her way to Florida in the late 80's where she honed in on her blue water deep sea fishing skills. She traveled to some of the best fishing destinations in the world seeking out her trophy fish which include: Sailfish in Costa rica, short-billed spear fish off the island of Kona, HI and landing her biggest catch, this swordfish, out of Venice, LA. Some of her favorite fishing buddies are her husband, her three boys and her four-legged baby, Theo.

Suzy founded Reel Ladies because of her love for fishing and the great outdoors coupled with a strong desire to educate, promote and encourage sustainable fishing. She also founded Reel Kids Sportfishing where free fishing events are held in Panama City Beach, Florida, to get children involved in fishing.

Her love for fishing and fashion created Reel Ladies gear which serves two important purposes; (1) to encourage more women to enjoy the sport or the lifestyle in comfort and fashion; and (2) a way to give back through sponsorships and donations to the Reel Ladies Fishing teams and Reel Kids events.
