Local Vet Enlists Other Anglers To Take Servicemembers Fishing This Month

Local Vet Enlists Other Anglers To Take Servicemembers Fishing This Month

On the last weekend in February, military vet and operator of Spooled Rotten Charters, Chris Falcone will embark on an event he originally spearheaded singlehandedly that now involves fishermen up and down the Crystal Coast. He started off with one goal – to show those who served a day on the water:

 Chris told us he started the trips a few years back and has since grown the event thanks to the good will of other fishing boats

The fishing charters will be heading out from various locations, primarily Swansboro. They’ll also be on the lookout for a variety of catches.

It’s simple to register – all you need to do is post a photo of yourself in uniform on the Spooled Rotten Charters Facebook page or send the photo and your contact info via email

While there’s already hundreds of vets who’ve entered the drawing, you still have until the end of the day Thursday to post your pic and be one of the 90 people selected to head out on the water at the end of the month
