Free Fishing in Alaska in 2010

Week of December 07, 2009

Charter boat captains from Homer, Whittier, and Valdez, Alaska are joining forces in the Alaskan Halibut Veterans Fishing Tournament next year to offer free halibut trips for veterans. At last count, 40 charter boats pledged support, and others are expected to join before the May 21, 2010 event. The event is expected to give more than 500 veterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan and during Desert Storm a free day on the water.
