First class is right, humble, hard fishing, and helping kids - what's better than that?

Is that article linkified yet for the non southshoreites?

That was a very good article in the paper. Kid's they are the next generation take a kid fishing every chance you get even if they are not yours! I took a 4th grade special Ed class once. It was the best day every one of those kids said thank you afterwards. It was really nice. Keep up the good work Roy.

Wow guys thank you so much for the kind words. It means a lot to me. I have to admit I have to give some credit to my fiance Rachel. She puts up with a lot so I can do what I enjoy the most. Not in a million years I would have ever thought I could change someones life around, it feels dam good to know I have. These kids are our future and maybe they might not grow to like fishing, but im sure they take a life time of choices with them. With out guys like your selves and support The fishing academy could never be what has become, so for that I thank everyone of you. S-B rules!!!! Thank You

Fly fished with Roy at Cliff pond the other day and really enjoyed his company. He is a good guy and wish him continuing success.

Roy is a class act! As John said, humble, hard fishing and willing to help his community and the kids in it. We are all fortunate to have a guy like him to take and teach kids the pleasures of nature and fishing as a sport. We (AquaSkinz) are honored to have Roy on our pro-team as an advocate and representative as well. Thank you Roy for all you do!
