Fishing Blind

Periodically, we get email updates from Lawrence Euteneier, who is the Captain of Blind Fishing Boat .Com.  The “Blind Fishing Boat” is a not-for-profit initiative to open up the sport of fishing to those living with vision loss. We thought it was definitely worth sharing with you!

From his website you learn that “as a fisher from the time he could walk, Lawrence has owned and operated a number of boats, ranging from 10-foot skiffs to an 18-foot powerboat. Lawrence also goes fishing at every opportunity, recreationally and commercially, in both fresh and salt water. He has fished for Salmon and Trout in Ontario’s rivers, for shrimp on trawlers in the North Sea, Sword Fish in the South Pacific, King Fish in the Gulf of Mexico, and for Cod from wood Dories on Canada’s East coast. Lawrence developed the Blind Fishing Boat to fish small in-land bodies of water for sport fish such as Bass, Pike, Walleye and Musky.  In addition to fishing, Lawrence’s present hobbies include paddling competitively on a Dragon boat team made up of individuals with little or no sight.”
