Wounded Warriors update - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

fishsouthcounty · 07-15-2011, 11:23 AM

So the event is coming up in less then a week. It is next Saturday, July 23rd and will start at 8 am at the Dana Point Yacht Club. Been messaging with Curt over on Bloodydecks and it sounds like its coming along really smoothly.

They are coordinating with the DPYC and they have reserved parking both in the YC parking lot as well as at the end of the boat owners lot closest to the YC. From what i understand Andy up at OEX sunset is taking care of kayaks for the servicemen/women and there will be a bbq of hamburgers and hotdogs for after the fishing is done. At this point there are 18 confirmed wounded warriors so anyone interested in coming out and playing a guide roll or even just being out there to shoot the shit and wet a line and help welcome them back into society would be great. Also, they are still looking for more rods/reels as well as terminal tackle and lures(mostly probably just plastics for fishing the kelp/pipe)

If anyone is interested in donating their time or the use of some of their equipment please let me know and i will pass the word along to the main organizers over at BD. Feel free to respond via the thread or PM me. Thanks for any and all interest. Its gonna be a very memorable event to be a part of.

Thanks,

Tim

I'll be there, I've been in email contact with Curtis so he's aware already.

I volunteered for this earlier and will reiterate that here. I can supply tackle and lures, I have a Pro Angler if needed, and/or I can guide and help out on the water. If one of the vets uses the PA I can rent a kayak from DPJS to go along. Just let me know, email is dvcheaney@ca.rr.com, phone is 951-970-9542.

I had also offered my services but never heard back from the Organizers. I plan to be there and help in any way I can. I also plan to take a lot of pictures, I am kind of scared taking my good camera out on the kayak, but nothing ventured nothing gained... ha ha

I will also use my gopro, I am no genious with editing though and I am not going to use a bunch of cameras, so if someone is putting together a video I wouldn't mind sharing whatever footage I take.

Is anyone passing Lake Elsinore area that wants to carpool?

My name is Ryan Phone number is (951) 473-3202
