We take donors out for a day of fishing so they can experience what we provide for our Veterans. Most have no idea what a great day they can have! Our trips are a more cost-effective way to get out on the water. We offer more than just fishing!

Nothing beats a great day of spending time on the water with good people. 

Hard to believe, but yeah they can do more than helicopter stuff.
