I posted this last year and received many needed items. In April we will be hosting another Special Camp for Special People. SCSP is a group of physically and mentally challenged kids and adults that we have the priviledge of fishing with every year. Last year we had just over a hundred show up, and expect just as many if not more this year. We are still in need of rods/reels tackle, line and any fishing supplies that you may be able to provide.

These are just a couple of pictures from '06 ('07 are on the home PC).







THANKS!!!

THANKS!!!

I donated about 50 spincast combos to the Cameron County(TPWD) Game Wardens, but I'm not sure if they used them or not. Let me make a few phone calls, and find out if they still have them. If they do, I can get them back and ship them to you Donny.

THIS IS AWESOME THANKS GUYS!!!!

If you need a receipt let me know (we are a non-profit organization, anything you give can be used as a write-off.)

dont suppose there is anywhere in east texas to drop stuff off for ya is there?

Are you talking about Southeast TX?

Your timing is either good or bad depending on perspective...lol. I was just about to post an add in the Classifieds to sell 4-5 old style Berkeley Baitcast Lightning Rods. They are in good shape but quite a few years old and I just upgraded the rest of our rods. I was only going to ask $10 each anyway so it's no big deal to donate.

What is the closest location to Flower Mound?

Are you going to the boat show in Arlington? If so I will be there saturday.

I have a call in to a friend. I will let you know.

I don't have plans to go to the boat show...

I do not know of anyone on the North side of Dallas, but if the two of you could meet up, I would drive up there to get them. I think he (Texasbass1) is in The Colony.

BPS in Grapvine would be great for me but if you're in Palestine that's a heckuva drive...unless you want to hit BPS anyway...

Just let me know when...

Sounds great Donny but please put out a reminder before that date since it is so far out...a PM would be best for the players that have made offers to be sure no one forgets...

yes donny i was refering to south east texas lol.....sorry for the confusion..

I have a guy in Nacogdoches, but that is about as far south as I can think.

well can you give me the info for him i will be around nacogdouches this sunday possibly........Thanks

He works on the square m-f (lives in Palestine).

ok can i get his name and where exactly on the square he works? THanks

Although I am in Houston, I would like to donate several reels. Can you tell me where to send them? I will even pay the postage.

good stuff guys!
Donny I will get with you and find out what you need and maybe buy some stuff at BPS and give it to ya. Incase you all need more snoopy type rods..

Hey Donny, are you going to Crockett anytime soon, I have 3 or 4 in my garage over there, you can have. They are a bit dusty but you more then welcome to get them, if not let me know, and I might be able to get someone to drop them off in Palestine to you.

I left 4 with Joy yesterday at BassChamps. That is a very easy location to get to.

DO YOU HAVE ANY DROP OFF SPOTS NEAR MESQUITE, OR KAUFMAN CO. AREA, I HAVE A NEW, UNUSED ROD I WOULD LIKE TO DONATE.

I will be at BPS on Jan 21. I can meet you somewhere then. call me 903-724-9907 cell

THANK YOU ALL!!!

Left you a message on your voicemail. I can go to Crockett.

I thnk he prefers biscuits with gravy

i just dropped off 8 or 10 to terry for you!!!! dont let him keep the all-stars!!!! good luck with the tourney also!!!

That's awesome Yam. Terry is a heck of an angler (better in his younger days)

He is also one of the Elders at our church....and can bend some string on a guitar too

he seemed like a really nice guy, but i couldnt stay long. i'll see if i can round up some more stuff between now and then also!!!

Donny...let us know if you need to re-schedule due to your health issue...

Donny, I don't have any rods or reels to give and I live in the Valley so is there an address where I could send a few bucks? I don't have much but would like to help.

Yes I will be at BPS between Monday Jan 21. Look for the wrapped ETCBA truck.

I will be parked by the front door in the ETCBA truck--you can't miss it. Thanks to all who donated!!

Donnie
Are you still needing reels? I was at an auction a couple of weeks ago and bought a mess of fishing stuff which included some reels that I will never use. Some may need some work and line since it looks like they were in someones barn for many years. If you can use em, I'll ship them to your Palestine address.

Yes, we have several rods that need reels.

I will be at the boat show this weekend with Joni and Friends, if you have anything you would like to donate, please drop them off with me from 2p-5p.

Or you can mail them to:
ETCBA
P.O. Box 3686
Palestine, TX 75802

Blessings,

Donny

donny, can you put up a list of whats needed most? i'd hate to buy a few spools of line and you already had 5000 spools donated, lol. this is kind of a big deal to me, i have a good friend with a special needs sister, and he does this kind of stuff for her all the time. i personally think it's a great thing you're doing, and want to help out as much as i can.

Thanks Yam! When we do these events, we want to make it fun for the folks and try to make it so that everyone catches. We use atificial worms therefore, corks, splitshots weights, hooks and line are mainstays. We needs lots of these items, anything that anyone can do would be greatly appreciated.

I have a decent bait caster I can give up. Its in good condition. Do you know a way to get it from Austin out to you? Ive been sitting on it a while so holding it for this cause isn't a problem.

I also have some Reel Magic type stuff I can toss in to revive some older line.

By mail would be the best/fastest/esiest way.

ETCBA

Thanks!!

Well the only thing about mailing it, is its on a rod. Sorry I forgot to mention that before. This is a complete combo w/o any line on it. Do you know anyone that would be coming to Austin any time soon? My g/f's parents live in Bryan and will be out here next weekend. I could send it back that far with them.

I do not know of anyone right off that...well wait a minute. Let me get with Ranger188vs. He is a student at A&M and fishes with us. I will let you know.

Donny ,

trying to line up a TFF Camel run. We are going to raise money for your group in the OT by NOT posting and last one standing wins. And all the money will goto your group. Let me know if this is ok.

You guys have posters with a few hundred post that signed up 2 to 3 years ago wanting in. LOL. Why don't y'all just send Donny a check today.

WOW! That is AWESOME Fatty. I can't tell you how much of a blessing it would be. I will try to get video of the event this year to share with ya'll. This is going to take place in April, I do not have the exact date yet, but will keep everyone posted.
