Three Generations...

---

Recently our Nonprofit organization Cast It Forward welcomed three generations of Michigan anglers for a meaningful day of family, fun and fishing.

Joining us were Patriarch, Father, Grandfather, and Marine Corps Veteran Al, his Son Andy, a First Responder, and grandchildren Emma & Noah.

It’s always a great time when families get to spend time together on the water and today was no exception.

We are grateful to be able to provide Al, Andy, Emma and Noah this opportunity and wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

On this day our Nonprofit Organization Cast It Forward hosted an event for members from the Cornerstone of Hope organization for a day of new outdoor experiences and fishing!

On our schedule for the day was outdoor education and activities, a delicious cookout lunch, boat rides, fun, and catching lots of fish!!! 

Throughout the day this awesome group learned proper casting techniques, how to safely handle & release caught fish and the importance of respecting our lands & waters.

In order to further continue their fishing activities even after their time with us was through, each participant received a bevy of fishing related items including a new rod and reel combo, stocked tackle box, fishing hat, fishing shirt, and “how to” fishing book.

Today our Nonprofit organization Cast It Forward welcomed Veteran dad and his son on board for an epic morning of fishing, making memories and healing as only our Great Lake can do.

To say that the fish were fired up would be the understatement of all understatements. They caught a mess of fish, including this fine 27” trophy.

It was an awesome morning to be on the water together and we are beyond grateful to be able to provide this opportunity and these memories to this deserving father and son duo.
