Summer Job Fishing Guide with the CNIB Lake Joseph Centre

Post by karma »

In 2013 the CNIB Lake Joseph Centre was donated a fully equipped 1800 Lund Alaskan fishing boat powered with a 75hp Mercury. Shimano donated eight spinning combos, Humminbird a sounder, Minn Kota a Terrova, BPS a bunch of tackle, and Gordon's Bay Marina rigged the boat.

As a member of the Lake Joe's board of directors, taking the fishing program to the next level was a huge goal of mine. The CNIB has now partnered with "Blind Fishing Boat .Com" in offering this program from June through September. Now we are looking for youth 21 or over who have experience fishing and operating boats to come work at Lake Joe for the up-coming season.

The job isn't just fishing, but the person(s) who steps up to the plate will be the go-to person to research, plan and execute the fishing program. This means taking up to three blind fishers fishing at a time. Panfish can be caught using small jigs, Smallmouth Bass drop shotting, and Lake Trout jigging. The name of the game is vertical presentations and "Feel the Bite". I'll be involved with the screening and training of the successful candidates, and will be there myself for a week mid summer helping out during deaf-blind week.

The CNIB Lake Joseph Centre is a 22 acre facility on one of the most beautiful lakes in the Muskokaswith 48 rooms with on-suite bathrooms that recently received a $7-million renovation. It has tons to offer recreationally to challenge people with vision loss or blindness.
