Give Till It Feels Good!

[trent colvin]

People get on this board and ask for many things. Fishin info, water conditions, advice on where to go.... I am asking for something more important. The Fishing Kids program needs your old and excess soft plastic lures to give to children when they give seminars at schools. They will take anything you could spare; any brand, color, style, full bags, half bags...ANYTHING. I know each of you have 3 times the tackle that you will ever use, so put them to good use by donating to the Fishing For Kids program. Jeff, Eddie, Norm, and the other directors VOLUNTEER their time and resources to help these children.
I challenge you (and your club) to gather what you can spare to help this outstanding organization. Send them to

I'm fairly new to the fishing sport,only been fishing for about 7 or 8 years,and I believe if I had a group like Fishing For Kids when I was growing up I would have realy enjoyed it. So I have alot of baits that I have experimented with and worked that I could donate to the cause,and I wish others would also donate to Fishing For Kids because the kids nowadays need the leadership and enjoyment that Fishing For Kids can offer them.

And by the way, if the kids are fishing they won't be on those @%)*&%
jet skies!

I made a thread about the same thing a few pages back for Eddie and the Kids..... He's needing $$$ as well to help pay for the Bulldozer costs to dig the Lake for the Fishing4Kids Program...So if any of the Clubs out there got any extra Non-Profit money left over, give Eddie a Shout and donate to this as well if you can......

I want to say thanks to Trent, Darrylbaby, and Clyde for your thoughts and support of our efforts here at Fishing for Kids. If ever you all have a need please feel free to let me know and I will help in any way I can.

Thanks new friends of fishin.com

I'm just happy to be able to do what little I can when I can Eddie.
Like I said,I'll go through my bags of baits and plastics and set them aside for you.
The baits cought fish,but as like any other fisherman would do,I bought more (prettier) baits! Some of which didn't catch any more fish than the others.
I'll try to do what I can.

I talked with Eddie at Fishin For Kids and he said that there were several of you that had e-mailed him with donations. THANKS!!!

I ask you to remember the Fishing For Kids program everytime you see a child fishing. Most of the time it will be a kid with a family member or someone else who cares. I ask you to find a child that dosen't have anyone to take them (or inspire them to go).
DON"T take them to a tournament.
DON"T take your rod.
DO take THEM fishing.
DO teach them that you don't have to catch fish... just have FUN.
Someone took you for the first time.... It's time you pay them back!
