Veterans Village Fishing Trip

On Aug. 26th, Rotary Club of Point Loma and Veterans Village of San Diego hosted the First Annual Veteran's Fishing Day. The event included a free day of fishing for about 50 veterans on one of San Diego's premier fishing boat, the Daily Double. The boat departed from the Point Loma Sportfishing pier at 9:00 AM and returned around 6:00 PM. Most anglers were successful there were smiles from all the participants upon returning to the pier. Special thanks to Alan Brown and Carter Shuffler for all their hard work in putting together this event. Click on the title above to see additional pictures.
