ANGLERS REACH OUT -- with many programs to help kids. For example, one of the annual February events is part of "Joni's Friends," an organization for families affected by disabilities: "Fishing with Friends." Groups such as the Arizona Bass Federation Nation and shows such as "Shake, Rattle, and Troll" participate by sponsoring contests (e.g., casting) and coordinating fishing activities as well as boat rides.
