Right in the middle of high hunt, archery elk and archery deer....

Unfortunately it might :dunno: But reality is for next year that will be right in the middle of the Coho run which is by far (on even years) the most abundant Salmon fishing.

This is pretty cool of you guys to do. I know it's a long ways off yet, my Sailors have been busting their a$$es for me for the last 8.5 months on deployment. How would I go about nominating a couple (2) of them to head out with somebody in September?

I will be at the January 4th meeting and after that will have more info for you. Shouldn't be a problem getting them signed up either. :tup:

For all of you who joined us last year, thank you again so much for your dedication, enormous contributions and patriotism! For those that did not get a chance to be there last year, now is the time to get in on the action! This event is expected to fill up fast and space is limited....
Hope to see you all out on the water! :tup:

Can't thank you enough for the outstanding commitment you made last year. Looking forward to having you back again. I have had a few calls from veterans wishing to be back with the same boat and crew. You may want to contact Joshua and Carlos to get them signed up again. You can coordinate with Dave Davenport and Brandon Jones to make that happen. You can find their information on the website at www.salmonforsoldiers.com (http://www.salmonforsoldiers.com). There is also a link to our facebook page on the website.
If you have any input or ideas you would like to see for the event this September 13th, give a shout and we can put it on our planning meeting agenda. The planning teams will be meeting at Harbor Marine at 1000 on March 15th.....
We are proud to have great folks like you with us in honoring our veterans! Take good care and see you soon! :tup:

Was also wondering about this years paperwork for the non-profit donations etc… and if you were able to get your own 501c3 tax exempt number to put on the paperwork like last year, I'm thinkin about getting that ball rolling again so I want to be sure to use the right numbers and addresses so could you post it up in here or PM that information to me so I can get started, I know its early but just want to be sure everything is done ahead of time !!
Thanks again for what your doing, It truly is a pleasure to be involved in this with you guys !!!

Here soon we will have a link established for those wanting to donate small amounts $20, $30, $40 and $50 or more to this great organization- Salmon for Soldiers. We just finished our meeting today and will be having more information for corporate sponsorship available soon. Working out an issue right – for some awesome T-shirts – be in the ball park of $20 each, half going to the event and other half paying for the shirts. How many would be interested in shirts? Like to get an ideal just from a random scanning…. Any business owners interested in sponsoring a portion of the event – if so PM me for contact…
Last year HuntWa was extremely well represented at the events in regards to boats owners and volunteers- lets' do it again!!!! I know last year I got a lot of PM's from folks asking “how a guy without a boat can help out?” Well - We will be fund raising hard core here soon, across many platforms of social media and web sites; as feeding 500 participants, paying for Moorage, transporting Soldiers to the location, some billeting for them, providing lunches, advertising and of course prizes for this event is not cheap. Ultimate goal is 30-40k and it is 100% to the event, not a single overhead expense or person receiving payment - all volunteer staff!!! So I want to open it up on this site first, as no matter what sites I purse, I always come to this site the most. As it is the best group of folks on any outdoor website. Remember this is for those that have injuries that may never heal. If we can take their minds off of the rigors of that and offer them an opportunity to have a great time stress free day – I say, that is what it is all about!!! “Fishing is the Mission!”
Soon will have a link posted on HuntWa - where folks can donate whatever funds they might be able to contribute. I figured let’s show HuntWa pride by being able to give back to those that do not have the opportunity we all live - day to day. Let’s show the other outdoor sites, especially fishing sites where the hearts are at!!! And of course a big thank you in advance to all those that can contribute, whether that is with funds, bringing your boat or helping out elsewhere- Salute to you all!! I will post T-Shirt pictures, once designed, but it will have Salmon for Soldiers logo on front and a cool design on back of - War Fighters in a boat taking on the beasts of the Sound with a fishing rod!

With the huge success of last year’s event, we are experiencing significant interest and sign-ups by soldiers and their caregivers to participate in this year’s event. We expect the number of soldiers and their caregivers participating will exceed last year’s levels and all soldiers that sign up for the fishing event deserve to go fishing!
To make that happen, Salmon for Soldiers needs your help in two areas:
1. Financial Support – On the Salmon for Soldiers website (www.salmonforsoldiers.com (http://www.salmonforsoldiers.com)), we now have the ability to collect individual donations for the event. Please consider making a personal donation to the cause (click on the Donate tab on the bottom of the Home page or click on the DONATIONS tab). Any dollar amount you can afford will go a long way in supporting our wounded heroes. It is really all about the soldiers…Where the Mission is Fishin’! *
2. Volunteer Boat Captains & Their Crews – Boat captains and their deck hands wanting to participate in the event should send an email to Dave Davenport (Daveyd6998275@yahoo.com) for the Boat Owner Sign Up Sheet.
For those wanting more information on Salmon for Soldiers, please visit www.salmonforsoldiers.com (http://www.salmonforsoldiers.com). If you are looking for a little inspiration, please watch the video from last year’s event (2013 - Salmon For Soldiers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn4QWKd635w#ws)).
Thank you in advance for supporting Salmon for Soldiers!
*Note: Salmon for Soldiers is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity (EIN 46-4849556).

If you can direct me to the right place or post on here I would very much appreciate it. Also, I saw that they had sent out final confirmation emails. Don't think I ever saw one. I'll PM you my info and if it is possible for you to look into that I sure would appreciate it.

Overall, what a great day. Good company, water was good, bloodied the boat, and gave one of our active duty servicemen a good day. I'd do it again, will do it again. Maybe next time I'll get a little redemption and slay 'em. Maybe if Alex makes the trip we will get to fish again. I would like that very much.
Here is a quick vid.

The Fish 4 Fun Team, was lucky and got 3 nice fish, just couldn't get that last fish to bite. That didn't matter, our 2 guys had never caught a salmon fishing before, and were grinning ear to ear with 3 fish. To make it better 1 of them was at the 2013 event and was skunked last year. He made up for that by getting his limit on Saturday.
Again...... Thank You Hunt Wa Boaters, I hope you will participate again next year at Salmon For Soldiers 2015
Without all of you and your boats, days like this would not happen for our Veterans and Soldiers. :tup:

This was my first year taking soldiers out fishing. What a cool way to give back. We ended up with three fish and lost 7 or 8, it was great watching them jump and run when the rods would go off. They were extremely grateful.
Hats off to the event coordinators.
I am definitely in for next year!!!!!!!!

It was great seeing the turn out of boats to take our active duty and veterans out for a day of fishing and relaxing. We put our service member on the fish right away and he did the rest, managed to get one in the boat 20 mins after dropping the rigs and another after a few hours of missed opportunities, and spit hooks.
Kept in contact with some other boats thru the radio and via text, which helped out everybody.
Looking forward to next year... :tup:
