Blind Fishing Buddies:
As a member of the CNIB Lake Joseph Centre’s Board and the lead on organizing the annual fishing camp for their 96 weekly blind vacationers, the Blind Fishing Boat will have plenty of opportunities to directly reach out to others living with vision loss. Combined with my assisting with organizing the annual “Blind Anglers International Tournament”, and it should all add up to a whole lot of new Blind Fishing Buddies hitting the water in 2012.
Release:
After working hard researching, planning, organizing and featuring in the production of a documentary on fishing, it’s now in the hands of the editors. We know we will be doing some clean-up filming this spring/summer, but all looks good for the official release some time this fall.
Finally, like fishing one never knows what’s around the next bend in the river or point of land. Stay tuned, and remember to keep watch for the “Best and Worst of Tred Barta” episode I filmed with Tred in Guatemala fishing for Sails now being aired on NBC Sports Outdoors.
