__________________________________________________________________________
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 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...
