Rand Bennett is my name. While I work full-time as a firefighter/paramedic for a local fire department, being a fishing guide has always been a passion of mine... sharing time and adventures on the lake with others. Being in my current position, this is my chance to give back. I got together with the guys at East Cape Skiffs and designed a handicapped accessible 2021 EVO. By handicapped accessible, I mean we have choices like a factory-installed wheelchair on the bow for our impaired anglers, as well as lean bars for the casting platform.
