Yes, all the kids get a rod. Plus they get reels, which really helps They will also get t-shirts, caps, tackle boxes, and a neat plaque. We are looking at having about 50 kids this year so we need to get as many boats as we can. So, if you would, reach out to other club members to have them come and enjoy the fun. Thankx - Jim

cant remember if they get rods...I believe so....and yes...dropshot works best and mostly we will quage each kid for what they are capable of and mostly get a fish on for them and hand them the rod to reel in....did have a kid get mad because he saw me hook the fish before giving him the rod

Thank you Larry I am look forward to this. Do they bring there own Rods ? Do you guys use drop shot with them? I would think drop shot would be the easiest but you know how it can loop up on you if there is little wind.

Oh no ! I better plan out my vacation week of fishing ASAP. I took labor day week off work, and was planning on hitting Banks, Moses and maybe potholes. Hopefully I will make the time and come home a little early. Thanks for posting the info Rev.

BOATERS NEEDED TO HELP SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN CATCH A SPECIAL THRILL

The C.A.S.T. for KIDS FOUNDATION is pleased to announce plans for the 17th Annual Lake Washington C.A.S.T. for Kids event to be held Saturday, September 12, 2009 at Gene Coulon Park in Renton.

The event is designed to provide children with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy a quality outdoor recreational experience through the sport of fishing. This year we plan to host 50 children, including participants from the local Parks Special Populations Program, along with children from Ronald McDonald House and the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Local volunteer groups include Boeing Rod & Reel Club, Puget Sound Anglers, Washington Bass Federation, and the Western Bass Club; all providing experienced anglers who provide their boats and their expertise to help make this a meaningful and memorable day for the children and their parents alike.

I would like to ask you to join the above listed organizations to help provide Boaters for this year’s event. It will take a little more than half of your day and the pay back will be many times the effort you but in.

The day begins with the volunteers arriving at 7:30am to get everything set up and ready. The Children and their parents arrive at 8:30. The children are then given C.A.S.T. t-shirts and hats, rods and reels, tackle boxes filled with tackle to keep as their own for future use. They are then paired, along with their parent, with an experienced fisherman and head out onto Lake Washington for about 3 hours of fishing and boat riding. The anglers head in at about 12:00 and along with all the volunteers, families, and friends, and are treated to a barbeque lunch. After lunch each child is presented a certificate and awarded a plaque that has a photo of them and their boat Captain inserted as a memento of this very special day.

Your help with make it possible for many special needs children to experience the joy of fishing and riding in a boat; many for the very first time, and some, for the only time.

Please pass this request on to fellow club members and others that might want to join us. Contact Jim Owens at jim@castforkids.org or 425-251-3214 for further information and to sigh up.

Thank you for your consideration of my request to help with this very worthwhile event. I hope that you will become one of the “SPECIAL PEOPLE, HELPING SPECIAL KIDS, CATCH A SPECIAL THRILL”
