Recently, we went fishing with Captain Art and the organization he founded “Cast It Forward."
Brittany, my beautiful wife of 11 years, and I were certainly in for a treat. The Sunday that we went on our fishing excursion was nothing short of amazing! Captain Art made sure that we were safe getting on board and that we understood all the safety features on his boat. This made my wife feel very comfortable and at ease with the situation, as she has very rarely been out on a boat and never in the middle of Lake Erie.
Throughout, Captain Art and First Mate Dave made the process of catching fish seamless. We ended up having an amazing haul of walleye, but even beyond the fish we caught were the memories that were made. The conversations, the bond that we created, and the fish we were able to pull from Lake Erie then later enjoy, all equated to a trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives.
Captain Art is professional, courteous, caring, and kind along with many other positive attributes. This really shines through in the “Cast it Forward” program he created in honor of his late father. Words can’t express how amazing this was and how needed it felt. Sitting out there on a beautiful day with the sun shining and fish biting felt nothing short of therapeutic.
Our Cast It Forward crew made sure that we were fed throughout our trip, shared their knowledge, answered every question we had, sent us home with a cooler full of walleye, and to be honest, I’d run out of commas if I included everything that they did for us…. Taking pictures, videos, caring and ensuring our comfort…… My oh my…. AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!
Thank you again Captain Art, First Mate Dave and Cast It Forward!
