The boys ranch brings a group of kids down here every once in a while for a kayaking trip on the NFoW. The counselors are doing a great job with these kids that have been dealt a rough hand in life. I would encourage anyone who has ever been interested in tournament fishing to take this opportunity. With an entry fee that low, and food included, if you are able, give a little extra for the boys.
