FORT WAYNE, Ind.—Disabled and physically impaired anglers can enjoy fishing again with Fish’n Rail, a security and support railing system designed especially for boats, showcased at the Outdoor Sports, Lake & Cabin Show.
The third-annual total-lifestyle event is taking place Friday, March 16 through Sunday, March 18 at Fort Wayne’s Coliseum, 4000 Parnell Ave.
Jeff Thompson, a retired, disabled Marine Corps fighter jet and test pilot created the Fish’n Rail in 2009 due to his own battle with a deteriorating disc disease, aggravated by years of exposure to excessive G-forces.
After multiple surgeries, Thompson was faced with abandoning his passion for bass fishing. Not willing to give up the sport he loved, he put his NASA experience and master’s degree in aerospace engineering to work designing and developing the Fish’n Rail system, which has helped fishermen relive their pastime.
The Fish’n Rail is produced by EPCO Marine Products, the original and only U.S. manufacturer of stainless steel bow and stern eyes. The system is offered as individual stainless steel components that are assembled to meet the needs of the angler and the configuration of the boat. It’s designed to last the lifetime of the boat and conforms to the Americans With Disabilities Act.
The product is now being designed for Ranger, Triton, Stratos, Champion, NITRO and Legend boats at EPCO’s state-of-the-art facility in Fort Wayne.
The third-annual Outdoor Sports, Lake & Cabin Show features over 150 exhibitors with show-only specials, thousands of dollars in luxury product and excursion giveaways, and over 50 seminars, demos and clinics focusing on Vacation and Travel, Hunting & Fishing, RVs and Motor Sports, Boats and Water Sports, Biking, Hiking, Camping and Fitness, and Cottage Living.
Special attractions include a 32-foot rock climbing wall, two stocked fishing ponds, a fully furnished log cabin home for sale, surfing simulator, 25,000-galloon “try before you buy” lagoon, indoor beach, 40-foot video game arcade, remote control NASCAR speedway, shooting range, Mark’s Ark exotic animals, and meet and greet with four 2-month-old real brown bear cubs, sponsored by Berne Apparel.
Show hours are Friday, noon to 9 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Children 12 and under and hunters providing a deer mount solely for display are free.
