I know that MSC has a tournament on June 21, but thought if anyone is not fishing the tournament that wants to participate in this event, here is some information…
On June 20, 2014, the third annual Troop Appreciation Fishing Derby is scheduled at the Lighthouse Marina/Rusty Anchor Restaurant on Lake Murray. This is an extension of the 2012 and 2013 fishing Derby sponsored by some patriotic people to show appreciation and to thank individuals for their sacrifices. The enthusiasm shown by the troops has inspired supporters to make it an annual event. In 2012, 15 boats and local fisherman took 43 troops for a day of Striped Bass fishing. In 2013, 21 boats and fisherman took 69 of our warriors out for a day of fishing and fun. This year we plan to take 65 troops and 15 wounded warriors out fishing followed by a donated shore lunch. This number of participants will require 27 boats and volunteer captains with knowledge of striped bass fishing. We currently have 14 boats and captains volunteered. We need an additional 13 boats and captains.
If you are interested in participating in this worthy endeavor by donating your time, boat and equipment (bait will be provided at no cost)to take some troops fishing, please contact any of the following organizers:
