When I came out the next morning my window was broken and all my creek tackle was gone.

Anyways, contact me and I'll be more than happy to donate. Probably 50 to 75 bags of plastics maybe more. Also, got 20-30 crankbaits I will give as well.

Let me know.
Guys, I truly do appreciate it. I called a few fellas on craiglist last night who buy fishing stuff and from one fisherman to another, they were pretty understanding and going to look out for my stuff. They knew by my speak and tone I wasn't some dude trying to con them.

I'm doing my best to find some sort of positive light (I'm a counselor, its my job I guess) in this situation but it's pretty tough. What really ticks me off is I buy most of my jigs, shakeyheads, and plastics from online smallboy tackle companies...I like to support them instead of BPS or tackle warehouse...and the amount of time I spent trying to find the best baits for me just really bugs me that is is now taken for granted. I take fishing as serious as anyone on this site and its just like it got ripped off of me. If you want to send me an email, just send it to [email protected] (those are zeros). I also working in the teacher education program at UL, so if you or your children ever want to become teachers...send them to me.

I appreciate you offers, it is my nature to hate taking "handouts"..I don't know if its a prdie thing or what, but right now I'm down and out and would take anything I could get. All I know is there was a DT10 Rapala in crankbait color left on the basement floor...so that an a few package of old prowler baits is what I have.
