Presented the Bisbee Cabo Charter Hook-up as a way to stimulate the economy by putting local charter captains – a group that was in real post-hurricane peril – back to work. An anonymous donor guaranteed to pay the entry fee through the fund to any team that agreed to hire a local ship, at the same time injecting money into the economy and giving anglers a chance to check an item off personal can lists. It was through this program that the Casa Hogar boys were able to enter, and the program was so successful that it was accounted for dozens of the 127 total teams competing this year.

The second prong of our plan is to help the working sport-fishing operators get back on the water, so they can again earn money and support their families, Bisbee adds. A part of the donations will be ear-marked to help independently-owned charter boats, bait pangas and eco-tourism guides fix their boats and replace lost gear. We’ll be granting business loans and gifts to help those persons recover. As early as our team gets down to Cabo San Lucas and sets up a base of functionings, we’ll publish more details on how and where to apply. Our goal is to help these independent sport-fishing businesses resume functionings as quickly as possible. (roffs.com)
