2nd Annual Take Our Troops Fishing Event organized by The Freedom to Fish

On behalf of The Freedom to Fish, I'd like to Thank everyone for helping to make this another successful event! We had 100 of our service members from Fort Gordon in Augusta come through the give away line and we took 65 out fishing for the day. Although the fishing was a little tough it turned out to be a beautiful day and every service member walked across the stage so we could say Thank You to them for their services.

Thank you to the following for your contributions:
Columbia County
Thomson-McDuffie County
Advanced Air Solutions - feed the service members and paid for fising license
Tommy Shaw Memorial Foundation
Pair of Jacks - Appling
Broadway Bait and Tackle - Augusta
Vertical Lures
Bass Pro Shops
Hi-Seas Fishing Line
FLW Outdoors
All the volunteers
All the boater volunteers
and anyone else I may have forgotten to mention

I'd also like to thank the school of hybrids that came up right before check-in so that the service members I had could all catch some fish.

We are already making plans for next years event so please stay tuned and check back for more details.
