A CHALLENGE TO ALL GUIDES ACROSS THE CAROLINAS

*First and foremost, if this is not allowed, Ed or others please feel free to delete or do what needs to be done*

In an attempt to try to help out relief efforts and enjoy what I love doing during my spare time, I am donating 50%, YES 50% of the proceeds from ALL trips booked through mid November. To sweeten the deal, I am also offering reduced rates until then likewise. My goal is to break even with every trip and donate the rest.
Whats going on out East is absolutely terrible, and do to the "real job", I cannot break away and help so this is the least i can do. Lots of personal friends down there that really got hit hard.

Those who personally know me know I do not guide for a living, but take any opportunity to be on the local lakes. Just something i really enjoy doing considering ive fished most of these waters (depending what lake) for 15+ years.

THE CHALLENGE: I (and hopefully others) understand its not practical for every guide out there to donate half of their fare. The challenge is quite simple. Just a portion. It will go a long way.

Obviously it will take AT LEAST a week for the water to settle to the point id consider "fishable".

I can be contacted direct via email located at the bottom of my signature, or PM. Ill normally respond back quicker via email.

My donations will be going to private entities serving Brunswick and New Hanover counties.

WHO ELSE IS ON BOARD??

Count me in Pete. Most of my time and money will be going to Robeson Co. My mother-n-law and wife's siblings live there and lost almost everything. I will also make a donation to you for your relief fund. Thanks Pete for doing this. My son is on a rescue team in Wilmington now for the fire department he works for. Told them they would be gone for 10-14 days. They had the be airlifted in by the coast guard

I'm not a guide but I LOVE the idea. Let me through this out there. Do you guys want to try and organize a tornament a week or 2 after the clash at high rock? $50 per boat a case of water and 5 can food for the entry fee. 50% of the money and all of water and can food goes to the hurricane victim's and pay back could be 1st 25%, 2nd 15% and 3rd 10% . Big fish $10 and it be 50% pay back rest goes to victim's.

I can be there ! May get a couple more of the S.C. crowd to ride back up. This will be High Rock correct?

Yeah we would have it at High rock if everybody wanted to. If we happen to do it does anybody have any scales for the weigh-in? Randy , ofishlvizzness

I got some. But they may lean towards an S.C. win ! . But for real I do have a set of postal scales we use at our outings.

Ok I'll send you a massage with some details tomorrow and see what you think

I think it is awesome that you guys are trying to put something together to help those in need (whether a tournament or other contribution) to those who have been so drastically impacted by Florence.
