Hands Helping Anglers

2024 EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER

We are sorry to announce that Hands Helping Anglers has been cancelled for 2024, due to inclement weather. Please stay safe and join us next year! 

We are excited that we get to continue this program this year!   

Hands Helping Anglers is a program to take people with disabilities out to experience boat fishing. Food, beverages, and bait will be provided for an awesome day on the water.

We are currently seeking boat owners willing to take a person with a disability fishing for the day. Even if you only have room for 1 person, you can provide a very special day on the water for an angler with a disability. 

This will be our 36th Hands Helping Anglers event, in partnership with Rotary Clubs and Shield's Marina.

As with previous years, most boats will leave out of Saint Marks, FL, but some will leave from other areas (depending on the boat captain).

Space is limited. Anglers are selected on a first-come, first-serve basis.
