Fishing gear for kids

As most of you know, the three amigos are headed south in two weeks for the Lake D'arbonne, Louisiana fall camp. They have a member, fish on line, that collects rods and reels that need TLC and fixes them up to pass out to kids. He will take broken rods and put them back together and work on reels that have seen better days. He also takes gear that isn't broken.

I went through my gear and came up with 9 rods and 5 reels that I'm taking down for him. The reels are all useable and some of the rods are good to go, others need to be fixed or used for parts.

If anybody has old gear they don't need or some stuff that needs some work, let me know. I would be happy to take it south when we go.

Kevin, we're leaving Wednesday November 7 in the evening. I could drive over your way and pick them up if that works for you. I need to go to Kent Butcher Supply anyway to get supplies to make summer sausage. Let me know what works for you.

I have a few rods myself that I don't need. Might find a reel or two as well.

Let me know when you dig them out, Rich, and I'll figure out a way to get them from you.

I'll get them over to Stephon! As long as he texts me and reminds me to get them out of the barn this weekend!

So I fix Erin’s spelling errors and now I’m Rich’s personal reminder person, I’m gonna need to get out my C.C moderatorship contract and read the fine print. I don’t remember seeing it anywhere.......

I’m home all day Sunday Rich if that works, or any weekday evening.

I'm on vacation next week. I'll shoot you a call. Just need a reminder to grab them in case I forget. I've been doing more and more of that lately.

Hard to deal with coming from someone that has never had an issue. I went from being able to tell you exactly where to find something to buying the same thing 3 different times, knowing I bought it, and not remembering where I put any of them.

Why just yesterday I found myself in Lansing wondering what I was doing there. When I couldn't remember, I went home. Three hours later I realized I was supposed to be at wok! Oh well

See. I can't remember how to spell work. Wok? I've never owned one, but stir fry sounds good! I know I'm supposed to be somewhere right now but can't find my keys! Oh well, Chinese it is

I have a whole box of reels, and I think at least 4 rods
I just have to dig them out, and figure out how to get them to you.

John, one of us might be able to pick them up from you at work.

Jerry, do they need anything else? Terminal tackle, baits, plastics?

John if it’s easier for you and I’m on the way, you can drop them off at my place.

Rich, I know Larry passes out rods and reels but don't know about anything else. I'll talk to him at D'arbonne camp and if there's anything else he needs I'll either haul it down when I go for Thanksgiving or send it down when my son comes home for Christmas. I'm also going down in March with Jeff so there's plenty of opportunity to get stuff to him.

Cool. I just think it is a great idea and I am glad that we are able to help out. Pretty neat that our group in Michigan cam provide something that will help kids down there!

I agree 100%.

I'm going to try to get with Kevin this week end. With his, mine, Jeffs and what you have, we need a bigger truck! Way to go, guys, we're going to make a lot of kids happy.
