Happy kid.

I have to admit, I really dropped the ball on this one. 
My daughter won a free trip with Beacon Charters as a kids fishing derby prize in April, but somehow I seem to have lost her voucher.
My communications with this charter service have been pretty disappointing and I am very reluctant to book a trip for both of us at regular price even if I could afford it.
She really is interested in catching a salmon, so I was wondering if I could find someone with a couple extra seats, I would be more than willing to pay fuel, bait, beer, lunch, etc..as long as it is under $200
I would let her reel in any fish hooked, I have caught a few fish in my day (just not recently), and let you keep any fish retained.
She is 13, so it would be quite an experience for her, and relieve some of my guilt.
Available Sunday and Monday at a moments notice, I can ask for Wednesday or Thursday off work if we have time to plan.
River, or Ocean does not matter, as long as it is within a few hours of Chehalis.
She has her own rod/reel, but we have not put line on it yet, would like to make some memories..

Was the derby sponsored or put on by Beacon Charters, or was it some other group/organization?

If someone else, maybe contact the sponsor group and see if they have record of who won what?  Maybe you could get another certificate for it???

Good luck!

One more example of good guys doing good things for good reasons!

It was the Black Lake Kids Fishing Derby (trout) Town of Ilwaco.
Mostly I just got a sense of the charter company not really caring if we went or not, even before I started planning, slow response to my questions, and a general lack of desire to sell me a trip.
Then when notified about missing voucher, no response.

As someone who works with customer service, I really just would go with a different charter if I were to be paying full price.

Big thanks!
Looking forward to a day on the water, and some pictures of my daughter with a big fish!
That is really what she wants, getting a little bored with 19" trout, and wants a "BIG" one..

Hopefully we'll have a Kodak moment or two.
