Meet mandie

I’m Mandie. I’m proof that one cast can change everything.

I caught my first smallmouth on July 16, 2024, with a blow-up kayak, one rod, a Ned rig, and no electronics. A little over a year later I placed 3rd in the NSKA at Lake Eucha and was named 2025 NSKA Sportsman of the Year. I’m not a pro who’s always had it figured out. I’m someone who started from zero and learned by doing, and I started Kayak Bass Chick to show other women that they can do it too.
