__________________________________________________________________________
If we have enough anglers we will have other catergories but the prizes should be pretty nice.... I still have to secure a few but the Fly division has a BEAUTIFUL custom 8wt 2pc rod with the HOW logo on it...
Artificials, live and dead bait can be used and this is a CPR ( Catch, Photo and Release) tourney.
Heroes on the Water is a non-profit orginzation that takes injured war vets kayak fishing. Your support keeps our Heroes fishing.
We still need sponsors for prizes so if you or anyone you know would like to donate please have them contact me. The Charleston Angler and Time Out Sports have already pledged to support us and help us out again this year. A BIG thanks to them.
I can be reached here, or at nikonjedi@yahoo.com or heroesonthewatersc@yahoo.com
I know there is a lot of contraversy about live or dad bait at tourneys, well this ain't the IFA or JAX, so they are allowed. This is not a big money tourney, it's a chance to support our Heroes, get out and fish, have a great time and win a few prizes but most importantly it helps us raise funds so when we have Heroes that want to fish they pay for NOTHING. HOW foots the bill for everything an injured vet needs to come fish with us including hotel, travel, licenses, meals, tackle, rods and reels, bait etc. HOW's mission is to get them fishing and help them with their recovery and rehabilitaion by giving them the chance to relax and enjoy themselves doiing what we love and getting the same relaxation we do. Imagine what a day of kayak fishing can do for someone who has just undergone months of physical therapy for injuries from a combat zone, stuck in a hospital NOW we let them go fish , get some fresh air and RELAX... it is priceless...

Any support anyne can extend will keep our Heroes fishing. if you are on facebook...

About the entire orginzation....
Based in Texas, Heroes on the Water serves all military personnel who have been wounded, injured or disabled while serving on active duty, in the reserves or national guard.
The primary goal of the program is to assist these injured service members with their physical and mental recovery by introducing them to the therapeutic qualities of fishing from kayaks. The program allows the participants a chance to decompress from the stresses associated with combat and the physical rigors of rehabilitation. Participants enjoy these benefits while on guided fishing trips held at various locations around the country.
Originally developed for patients at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) on Fort Sam Houston, the program quickly expanded to Darnall Army Medical Center on Fort Hood, TX. Now, due to the programs unparalleled success, we are currently expanding operations to Madigan AMC on Fort Lewis, WA, Portsmouth Naval Hospital, VA, Ft Bragg, NC, Camp Lejeune, NC, Charleston AFB, SC, Tampa, FL, Jacksonville, FL, Great Lakes, Central California, Northern California, Houston, TX, Dallas-Ft Worth, TX, Austin, TX, Corpus Christi, TX, Rhode Island, Kansas, Knoxville, TN, and the new chapters in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, DC, Missouri, and the Emerald Coast - Alabama/Florida panhandle.
The program provides basic kayak fishing instruction, angling clinics and paddling classes for participants with skill sets ranging from beginners to the most experienced paddlers. The program also assists these personnel in adapting these newly developed skills to their new abilities. Adaptive kayaks, kayaking accessories and angling equipment will be offered on an as needed basis to accomodate a soldiers particular needs.
All kayaks, pfd's, paddles, fishing gear, meals and transportation are provided free of charge to every participant. Our volunteer staff and program coordinators consist of professional educators, counselors, licensed fishing guides, wildlife and aquatic biologists, active duty military, and experienced kayak fishermen, all of whom donate their time and expertise in support of the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines that we serve.
All Heroes on the Water activities are 100% dependent on your tax deductible financial donations, as directed in the provisions of Section 501(c)3 of the IRS code. We are actively seeking donations of both cash and materials to fund this program, plus we're always looking for licensed guides, property managers and camp supervisors who would like to donate the use of their facilities for our trips. If you are interested in contributing or becoming a volunteer, please send your questions to Jim@KayakAnglersSA.org for more information.
