THANK YOU WESTERN NEW YORK CHARTER CAPTAINS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

NOTE: This Picture and information is left here in gratitude of our WNY Charter Captains who so graciously donated charters for a NRAA fundraiser in 2003

LUCKY FISHERMAN!
[Click the pic!]

Aaron Woods of Lockport was the lucky "Charter Captains Charter Raffle" winning ticket holder. Aaron paid for his own ticket the day he was fishing at the kids derby at the Wilderness Preserve. Aaron, fishing with his father, hauled in approximately 70 to 80 of these fish, keeping only 4 fish that where not going to make it, a true sportsman, and a pleasure to fish with!
Information and picture submitted by Captain Andy Hastings.

Note: A huge raffle for approximately 40 fishing charters sponsored by a conglomerate of Lake Erie, Niagara River and Lake Ontario Charter Captains was held as a Niagara River Anglers fund raiser for 2003.
