Fishing has no Boundaries

It's that humbling time of year again fisherman. We need volunteers to come to El Dorado Lake on Sept 27th and 28th 2014 for the Fishing has no Boundaries for the disabled. The Wheatland Chapter (Kansas) is the largest chapter in the US and hope we can keep it that way. I have done this now for a few years and I still am overwhelmed by the joy we bring to these people in two days.

So who's in? You can do both days or just one. WE NEED BOATS and VOLENTEERS ON SHORE!!

Thanks for your HELP,
Shane


Most of us think that going fishing is as easy as a walk down to a lake. . . . . . For over 56 million Americans with disabilities, it's just not that easy

I can be there on Sunday, won't know about Saturday until I see my daughters schedule.

I'm game. Who do I contact? Where do I get more information?

I will have all the info tomorrow and will post it.

You know :ThumbsUp I'll be there:highfive!!!!! :biggrin<*)}}}><

<<<YES I DID>>>> Can't wait to see ya.

That is usually around the time I take the boat to Shady Creek for service. I am for sure out the 27th due to family obligations, but I'll see about the 28th.

I'd be more than happy take folks out fishin but with the kids I'm unable to much of anything on the weekends. A few more years and I'll be back in the game! Sorry.

Be there both days. Where can I get a place to stay never fished the lake.

There are hotels in town or you can get one of these cabins on the lake. Chatt goes to a hotel just on the outside of town very close to the lake and it's not that expensive. You might want to PM him to see if he is staying there again this year. Glad you can make it. It's great fun...

Dan, we understand and hope to see you in the near future. Thanks for the post and your donation last year. They used them and liked them. So did I. I almost kept one for myself.

Here is the info requested.

Shane, I'm "in" and excited about both days. Brad

I would love to help out, being disabled myself, but I have that weekend tied up already with a big competition metal detecting hunt in a club that I am president of.
Just about any other weekend would have worked for me.
I could have shown other disabled fishermen how I have adapted and overcame the challenges we are faced with while enjoying our hobby.
If you would like I could write a small booklet on how I have overcame the challenges of fishing one handed, that you could pass out to members of Fishing has no boundaries.

Could be for me, I'm a big "iffy". Love to help on shore if I can. I think this is a great cause having had some friends that quit with their disabilities.

Hi Shane, I know Saturday I will be out, but I might be able to do Sunday. Not sure about the boat this year, but can sure help out wherever I can. I always look foward to this every year.

Hey guys, Need more boats.... Anyone else??

Got tickets to go to the Kstate game given to me and family so will have to pass on this. Sorry

I had another great time helping out this year. My son (Garrett) said he wanted to help out this year as well and he had a great time and was a big help as well. This is my third year now and I always look forward to it every year. I forgot to pull out at my phone and take more pictures, but here are some of the fish that were caught. The look on their faces after catching even an 5 inch white perch or 8 inch channel cats were priceless.
