Set for this summer is the second annual Trolling with the Troops fishing trip, and organizers are looking for some support. Trolling for the Troops co-organizer Scott Mann tells WSJM News the August 24 event will be a free Lake Michigan fishing trip for veterans.

“We’re going to take veterans out for a day of fishing out on Lake Michigan,” Mann said. “We’ll catch some salmon, lake trout, steel head, basically anything that’s going to bite what we’ve got out there.”

Last year’s Trolling for the Troops trip attracted 68 veterans, and Mann is hoping for more this year. Mann tells us it’s a regionally-appropriate way to thank those who have served.

“They have an event in South haven and it goes up all the way around the lake, and we didn’t have anything here,” Mann said. “I thought it was time for us to get in the game as well.”

Mann says Trolling for the Troops is looking for boat captains who want to enlist their craft, as well as donations and sponsorships for the trip. Anyone who wants to help out can find out more at TrollingWithTheTroops.com.
