2012 Hookin' Up Heroes

Frank - I completely forgot about this other great event. Lots happening on Michigan's free fishing weekend! I would have definitely included it and I'm glad you came on with a reminder. We need lots of boaters that day. I know we can all give up 1 day of our own fishing because none of the tournaments are as important as events like this, now more than ever! There's also that super big, nice fishing derby in St. Louis Michigan.

Frank, I fixed your link but your club is a close group so people can't see information about it. Do you want them to click Join Group or is it better to contact Major Briggs?

Sorry we are putting other things on your post Eric. I hope the outcome is that more people choose to help out whichever one of these events is closest to their location and their heart!

I wish I could do all 3. I can't tell you how excited I am to take a veteran fishing. I am so happy that I'm going to be able to make someone, who will more than likely be a total stranger, happy.

I grew up in a military family. My dad, both grandfathers, my god father, and several of my uncles have served our country. Dad gave almost 22 years. So our armed forces, and veterans have always been a part of my life since I was born. This event is the least I could do for a man or woman who has made major sacrifices for all of us. I hope to see a lot of people there.

Spread the news. Thanks for making a difference.

Dan, thanks for reminding me it was closed to the public. It is now open for anyone who wishes to download the entry form. We are also currently accepting new boaters. Unfortunately, we have had to fish 3-to-a-boat lately, due to the number of non-boaters. We fish mostly the Irish Hills lakes, as well as St. Clair, Erie & Detroit river.

That's all some great areas to fish in! Hope you get some more boaters and boater volunteers.
