Take A Vet Fishing

[hooah212002]

It is that time of year again for Take A Vet Fishing and I thought I would let you all know so if there was anyone interested in offering themselves as a volunteer or as someone with a boat. There will inevitably be more veterans without boats than there are volunteers with boats. 

 

The event this year is June 8th all day at Lake Waubesa in the Madison, WI area. The sign up deadline is tomorrow, but I imagine there will be time afterwards to contact Jay (though he works tirelessly organizing this so the earlier the better). I completely forgot and just received my reminder email yesterday to register (I am in no way affiliated with TAVF, nor was I asked to do this. It is just a great event and I want as many people to join as possible).

 

You all will probably remember my thread from last year about it: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/119167-take-a-vet-fishing/.

 

here is a link where you can sign up and/or read more about it: http://takeavetfishing.com/wisconsin/ (this is the Wisconsin link because I am biased. There is also an event in Minnesota at a later date)

 

if this is out of line, Glenn, let me know and I will delete it. Again, i am not affiliated in any way and am not receiving money for this.

I wish I could find a program like this in our area. It isn't much compared to what they've given but I'd be happy to help out.

Bluebasser 86, there is a program that is kind of in your area, and works along the same lines as the one hooah212002 is participating in. Check out the Leavenworth Bass Club Fishing for Freedom page.  This is an event that the Leavenworth Bass Club (with lots of help) puts on in Warsaw, MO and Long Shoal Marina at Truman Lake.  It is always the same time every year, i.e. the weekend prior to Columbus day, in early October.  I've participated for the past few years as a volunteer boater, and I've had a good time and learned some stuff.   Last year, I was boat # 138.  This year I hope to be boat # 150something.  Anyway, check it out by going to the Leavenworth Bass Club page and seeing if it might be something you're interested in.
