I know this is not a fishing report but...We loaded up our truck today with sleeping bags blankets sweatpants Etc and took them down around downtown and passed out to the homeless. Barely made a dent. If anyone would like to donate anything, it's going to get brutal cold in the next few days. I will meet you and take it down there. In dire need of warm sleeping bags gloves, sweat pants, socks anything. Let me know, I live in Plano area.

I have a tent I was going to give to my neighborhood homeless peeps. I have not seen them in 2 weeks. 4 man tent. No holes. Just want a bigger one. Text me if you want it.

Carey, they have shut down and fenced off all the tent cities. Don't allow them to erect tents anywhere anymore. Thanks for the offer!
Terry, I'll get your address and come by and pick up whatever you have!

Go to where St Paul crosses over I30 downtown. Seems the homeless are hanging out on that bridge since being displaced. Went thru there the other day and there were at least 50 of them hanging out there for some reason.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!

Just had 2 more guys call me with stuff. If you have anything, let me know. At least it's not teens at night but 30's is still cold when you are outside all night. Sleeping bags, coats, hats, gloves, sweat pants and shirts are needed most.
