Billy or Chunk n wind, some tackle maybe?
I was wondering if people would be willing to kick in a little to buy some tackle or such along with a card for Elnut? His spirits have got to be low after all he's gone through, and maybe we could do something to help keep his chin up.
Anybody got any other suggestions?
Hey Billy or Chunk n wind, I know y'all are local, if folks kicked in a little to one of the bait shops there would one of you be willing to put him a package together? You pick the shop, and I'd call in some funding, maybe others would too.

We can do that however we need to get him some fishing magazines I posted a note saying we could send him some magazines and here is his wife’s answer.
Our home address is 200 Saratoga Court, Georgetown, KY 40324.
I had actually asked my brother-in-law for some this week, just because all I can find is hunting magazines right now. I know he will look at them, and if anyone wants their magazines back, just send me your address, and we will return them.
Blessings
Mrs. Elnut

I'm in with both feet.:) What ever is decided is fine with me.
Re: Billy or Chunk n wind, some tackle maybe?
Roadrunner just sent me a good idea. Maybe we can scratch enough together for a trip with Dave Stewart, AND some fishing rags too.
Re: Billy or Chunk n wind, some tackle maybe?
Absolutely, I'll chip in.
Re: Billy or Chunk n wind, some tackle maybe?
Kind of a rookie here but have been around long enough to have read alot of elnuts posts. Let me know what everyone decides on and I would like to help out too. Tech
Re: Billy or Chunk n wind, some tackle maybe?
Well,
I lay it to you straight. What he needs more than anything is some rest from stress. He'll be laid up for a while. He's so dan tired of being in that hospital, it aint funny.
Dave will take him fishing. That's ALL but been already planned..right Dave.
We kicked in and got him a F-n-F tying vise before Thanksgiving. What he needs is material...Jigheads(1/16 f-n-f heads-1/8 ballheads) craft hair(all colors), thread, nice scissors, some rabbit strips, flash.
He going to be sitting home in all that downtime just thinking about fishing,. If we can get him tying his own jigs and flies, it'll give him something to do. And he'll probably ty some dam good flies.
Plus...he's got me there instructing....LOL!!!!!!!
You guys pm me, I've got an idea...

Re: Billy or Chunk n wind, some tackle maybe?
Not to worry about the fishing trip with me..that is already a done deal. I think the magazines are a great idea...surely there are a lot of folks around that area that has magazines that can be taken to Elwood.
Re: Billy or Chunk n wind, some tackle maybe?
Tried to PM you and it says you aren't allowing it.
Re: Billy or Chunk n wind, some tackle maybe?
I dont know him but I live in Georgetown and would be glad to visit with him and talk fishing if you guys think he would be up to it. Don't want to impose on anyone but I would be glad to help.

Re: Billy or Chunk n wind, some tackle maybe?

Talked to Mrs Elnut last night. I have to talk to someone at lunch today to see if I can get set up what I have planned...
