gear but never one of the great trips they give away to promote
fishing and hunting. Now I've done both.
I was wrong and got a phone call from Jim and Dan, the owners of
USOC telling me I had indeed won a Charter Boat Trip with 3rd Alarm
Charters and Captain Matt Trombley.

The trip was for Lake Champlain on the Vermont side, a beautiful area
of the country. The excitement started building immediately after the
phone call this past spring.

3rd Alarm Charters was a wonderful trip, probably the most exciting
fishing trip I have ever been on. Captain Matt was a lot of fun to be
with and knew exactly what he was doing. He worked hard all day to
put us on fish and it paid off. It was a warm comfortable day that made
it more exciting and enjoyable by being out on the boat and the views
we're incredible.

An absolutely great time enjoyed by all, we caught a lot of fish and
shared a lot of laughs. It's a lot of fun when you're doing something
you never do and with great friends and a great Captain to boot.  I
highly recommend for anyone who wants to have a wonderful time with
friends or family to go on a charter trip with Captain Matt! We're
already talking about going back next year.
Thank you again USOC for all that you do for us members and 3rd Alarm
Charter for a day to remember the rest of life!
