Help needed to take kids fishing
Volunteer boaters are still needed to take 150 kids from Oklahoma Children’s Hospital for a morning of striper fishing on Thursday at Lake Texoma.
The kids are attending Camp Cavett at Lake Texoma, a week-long summer camp for patients at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital. Striper guides are taking the kids fishing Thursday, but more boats are needed.
“Any sort of boat will do — striper rig, bass boat, pontoon or ski boat that will carry from two to eight kids,” said Gene Gilliland, fisheries biologist for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. “Local guides will be among the group to help boat captains get the kids into fish.”
Volunteers are asked to call Ron Ludwig at (580)924-7901 or email him at prunepicker@sixoldgeezers.com.
