There is a guy on the TFF that does fishing trips with fatherless kids. I bet he could use the stuff.

Tom,
I just got on and saw your post. Our kids would be very thankful for generoucity. I know several of my kids have very little tackle and are in need as we move forward with this project. We have a meeting on Monday with a speaker. My contact information:
Thanks,

This is such a win!!!
Tom Gives away tackle and restocks at the marina.
I'm in as well, we have a lot of odds and ends accumulated over the years. I'd be interested in giving a lot of it away to a good organization. Unfortunately, this is true.  I`ll give you a call sometime this week and we`ll try to find a way to get this stuff to you.

Just curious...if these high school kids can't afford enough bait, where do they get access to bass boats? Not all of them have a family member that has a boat. And, it's not like they are all showing up in an 2012 $70K boat to fish out of. Some have uncles or relatives that have volunteered to take them out. Some have bass boats that are 25+ years old. My son is taking my boat and sponsoring a couple of girls that don't have a sponsor but want to fish. They have very little fishing equipment. Main thing is they want to fish. And, they are our future of this sport. And believe me if you look at a lot of the youth today, we are headed backwards and God help us. So, when I have 24 kids that say that want to give this a try. I am going to do everything in my power to try to make it happen. Plus, I have two girls right now that don't have a sponsor and are crushed. So I am still looking for a sponsor for them.

Tom, thanks for your kind gesture. There are tons of start-up high school teams all over the state. Heard on the radio this am that bass fishing will become an official high school sport in 2013. I think that's fantastic.
If Steve can't help you with a team, either Khristian Salcedo (YoungFisher972) or Alec Castonguay should be able to point you in the right direction. Thanks again, man. Cool thing you're doing.
I made the same conclusion about a month ago. Just haven't had the time to sort thru it all. I saw your old boat storage this week...I would agree that you have a similar illness!!! LOL!
