Here is a reprint and update from the multiple threads so far. Check back on THIS thread for any future updates. We can still use more Captains.
Hands Helping Angler # 17
DATE: Saturday, June 30, 2007
PLACE: We encourage you to leave out of St. Marks area (Shields, Shell Island Fish Camp, Lighthouse, etc.)
COST: No registration fee, just bring your boat and tackle ready to fish
WHAT YOU GET: Food and Drinks for your boat (pick up at Jerry's), a plaque and a bunch of satisfaction in helping others less fortunate than we are. In addition, it's my understanding that FWC has been made aware of our activity and none of the guest anglers are required to have a license. As part of the packet you receive at Jerry's you will receive a ribbon/streamer to fly from your antenna or other location on your boat. This will be the indicator to FWC that you are participating in the HHA event.
John McBride has come out of retirement this year (at the last minute as well) to help make sure HHA happens this year and we all have a bunch of fun taking some folks fishing.
Somewhere, somebody is sitting around dreaming of this once-per-year event to do some fishing. Let's not let them down.
Sir Reel will be rounding up as many boats as possible and I will line up the handicapped anglers, food, logistics, etc. Please email or PM SR for the sign up form and he will instruct you in how to return it to him..
This year, Scott Paterna is letting us distribute sandwiches and drinks from Jerry's Bait and Tackle as you are heading to the St. Mark's area. I will be there at 6:30 am on the morning of the event ready to feed and water the troops.
