Giving back....

Ok so when I grew up I loved fishing. But my family was pretty poor. I couldn't afford lures like I wanted. But one day I found a small crank bait on the shore where I was fishing. With that little crank bait I caught my first bass and started a sickness for bass fishing that is still growing today.
I tell you this story because I believe I can do more to get kids into fishing then having them "finding" my lost lures.
I was just cleaning out the man cave and found a few lures and a tackle box that I don't use much, or I would like to pass on to a kiddo that NEEDS them.
So here's the deal. If you have a YOUNG fisher person that could use a jump start in fishing these are free. All you have to do is pick them up from me in the next couple weeks. I live on Ray Roberts lake just north of denton.

Good thing you are doing here. I actually need to do the same. I have TONS of plastic and plastic boxes I don't ever use and need to get rid of and dont really care to try and sell them. MAybe donating to a high school bass club somewhere or something like that would be a good idea? Need to go through my stuff first but I know I have a BUNCH.

If y'all don't find any takers, this kid is taking old plastics (used or not, I believe) turning them into crawls and selling them. The cool thing is, for every bag he sells, he will donate a bag to a high school or college fishing team. For every four bags he sells to a retailer, he will donate one bag.

Seems like a smart kid and I like the idea. If you can't find any takers, this might be the next best thing.

I like what this kid is doing. I'll start saving my spent rubber worms to send to him. These that I have now still have plenty life in them to be fished with as they are. But well see how it plats out.

Greatness!! This is what makes some parts of our culture still awesome!

Some lucky kid!

I've got a kiddo but think he has more to select from than he needs, lol.

I may know just the kid that needs those Shaun. Let me talk with his parents this week. Im also trying to find him a great deal on a used kayak. He has saved up his own money but doesn't have much. Maybe $300.

good for you Shaun that's awesome

Yet another reason I am proud to be a TFF member. Awesome idea!

Great idea, Shaun.

a lot of local high schools have bass fishing clubs. I bet they have a few kiddos that could put this tackle to good use. Great work Shaun!

Believe I'll follow suit on this tremendous idea, Shaun!!!! I have WAY TOO MUCH STUFF!!!

TP&W also takes donations like that. Me and a buddy just did a spring cleaning and donated a bunch of tackle and old rod & reels.

Tackle has found a home with a couple young fishermen. Thanks for helping everyone!

Good Stuff!
