Poignant Day of Fishing for Vietnam Navy Veteran

Today we welcomed Vietnam Navy Veteran Rick and his wife Sandy.

Rick, a Navy veteran, served our country during the Vietnam War. He has been battling some serious health issues and wanted to enjoy some quality time walleye fishing on our Great Lake. We were honored to provide him with this opportunity.

The fishing lately has been a little slow but we managed to put a nice cooler of fish together for Rick and Sandy.

The real point today was not about how many fish we caught. It was the gentle reminder that each day is a gift.

Time spent on the water is the best way we know how to share the beauty of each day. Sometimes, it brings into finer focus that we all should cherish and appreciate each day.

Thank you for your service Rick. Our hope for you is nothing but strength and dignity as you move forward.

Father & Daughter Limit Trip

Yesterday our nonprofit organization Cast It Forward welcomed Shane and his daughter Paige from the Erie, Pa. area.

Shane recently won a trip our organization donated to support the fund raising efforts of the Walleyes for Wounded Heroes organization.

We made the long run and fished the deep waters off of Geneva. They caught a nice mixed bag of fish and we happily sent them home with a cooler full of Lake Erie’s finest.

Good luck in your fishing adventures.

Hope to see you out on the water!
