120-200 was best

Thank you to everyone involved - great team effort by the captains produced far more fish than soldiers with lots of shakers being tossed back They were all able to take fish home at the end of the day

Great day out Not a banner day catching wise - biggest King at 11lbs, steelhead at 7.5lbs, and biggest laker at 9lbs More fish then guys with lots of shakers released A great team effort amongst the captains and all other fishermen out of FH today A true community effort

Combat Wounded Veterans will be fishing with local captains on this day. Any information would be greatly appreciated to try to get additional fish on the rods for these servicemen and women. All captains will be monitoring channel 72 and will have the veterans on the water from 6 - noon. More detailed information can be found on the open discussion page. Thank you in advance.

Fair Haven will be hosting Wounded Warriors on June 17th and 18th out of Anchor Resort and Marina. It is run through the All Aboard Fair Haven Fishing Association. This year Fair Haven is anticipating 24 combat wounded veterans to participate. The veterans coming this year will arrive Friday evening and be escorted through town at 6:00PM in honor of their service to the American Legion for a family style dinner. Local businesses are playing a big part in this effort with donated facilities, rooms, and cabins for them to stay in and helping to supply meals throughout the event. Turtle Cove is hosting the captains' dinner for the captains of the boats to plan for the next day and share information to help ensure success for all involved. Friday evening the veterans are able to wet a line, cook marshmallows, and relax at Anchor until they retire for the night. On Saturday they are greeted by the captains prior to 5:30 and depart for a day on the water by 6:00AM to try to hook a "big" one. Breakfast is donated by local establishments and some of Fair Havens home bakeries (like grandma used to make). Upon returning to Anchor they are thanked for all they have done and given in service to the country and protection of our freedoms here at home as well as treated to a pig roast and picnic. We need your help / what you can do. If you will be in Fair Haven Friday evening try to make it to the parade through town on Main Street to show support for these soldiers. If you are going to be fishing out of FH on Saturday you can be a real asset tot he success of the day for these folks and help put additional fish on the lines by sharing any information that is giving you success that day. If you happen to get a program working (speed, depth, direction, color, etc...) please share it on channel 72. Last year we had people help out and it made a tremendous difference for some of us and the success rate on the water that morning resulting in many more smiles. If you are thinking about heading to FH to fish this would be that other reason to do so. We will be out with the veterans from 6 - noon'ish. If you are not able to fish on Saturday, but want to help out in an additonal way, money is needed to secure additional rooms and gifts of appreciation for these veterans who have served us all. Any checks can be made out to AllAboard FHFA (just as it is typed without a space) and dropped off at Screwy Louies Sportshop or Anchor Marina and Resort, or mailed to: AllAboard Fair Haven Fishing Association PO Box 566 Fair Haven NY 13064 Thank You wounded warriors on letterhead 2016.pdf

Here are some other pictures from this weekend. There are quite a few more with descriptions on the Fair Haven All Aboard facebook page and the Fair Haven Fishing Association facebook page. There were a total of 15 boats that participated over the 2 days and another that was ready to go, but unfortunately had an engine issue. All of these pictures were taken at Anchor Resort and Marina. Again there were a lot of people and businesses involved in this effort and Alan will be listing them in the local Fair Haven paper with an article about the past weekend.

If you have any pictures from this past weekend's event, please post as well.

Thank you to everyone who made this past weekend a success. The weather was good, the fishing was tough but everyone returned with smiles and experiences that they would not have had without all of you, and on Sunday the "special" kids had a lot of fun on the bay. First Fish Award went to Captain Werner and Crew of Popeye Largest Brown Trout went to Captain Aaron Dingy and Crew of Playin Hookey Largest Salmon award went to Captain Ed Derry and Crew of Landing Craft I will be posting some pictures as I get them so that others can see what went on this past weekend. We are already planning for next year (2016) June 17,18, and 19.

We just got word that Fair Haven will be hosting over thirty veterans this coming weekend. A big thank you to all who are helping make this experience a success. Now say a few extra prayers that the weather is good and the fish are biting.

If every kid had good parents like this what a difference it would make - nice job Dad, she will be your forever little girl and by the looks of it fishing partner as well. Congratulations! :yes: :yes:
