I live in South Bend, IN and am always looking for new fishing partners. I have my own 16 ft. pontoon fishing boat with a 40 horse Yamaha on the back and Minn-Kota trolling motor on the front, which I trailer & pull with my van. I like to fish for bass, bluegill, crappie, walleye and about anything else that bites, but my favorite has to be bass.

There is one catch though (no pun intended) I’ve been a C-4/5 quadriplegic for the past 28 years as a result of falling from a tree at 15. I’m paralyzed from the shoulders down and fish with an electric fishing reel that I operate with a slide bar on a headrest, someone has to cast out for me but I take over after that. Check out my website: (DansFishinHole.com) for a video segment that our local news station did on me in 1998 and a Fishing with Roland Martin TV show I did in 1984, so you can see how I actually fish. There’s been some modifications, but it’s still pretty much the same.

My family and I have taken a two week fishing vacation (usually in June) to a medium sized 150 acre lake in lower MI all my life. This year my main fishing buddy can’t make it, so I’m looking for someone to go along for that as well. That way my fishing partner & I can fish as much as we want and for what we want.

Please message or email me if you’re interested.

Thanks,
Dan
